Oh the Fun!
Todd's sister's family, the Malmstroms, came to visit a couple weekends ago and we did 2 of the best things each family does! Of course, boating and tree trimming. Friday was at the lake and Saturday was outside in the yard! Candace and Jenny took Maren and Sam yard saleing while the "older boys" stayed and cut down a tree and trimmed 3. Although Jenny was skeptical it would ALL get done in a day, they had the first tree down and 1 more trimmed by lunch and everything done by dinner, it was amazing!
Everyone took turns loving Savannah. Maren was excellent and making sure she was well taken care of the whole morning while Candace and Jenny fervently shopped!
It was really fun watching all the kids interact with Savannah. Maren couldn't get enough! Even in this picture you can see her looking down at Savannah while she knows she should be smiling at the camera!
We ate lunch on the beach.
And the kids played in the sand.
And Savannah got her first feel of lake water with her little jellies!
The water was shallow for a long ways and the kids loved going out into the lake so far. 
Todd was such a good sport and didn't do his normal water activities because of how busy of a day it was with all the other boats and waves, etc.(meaning he didn't make me drive the boat, it scares me with so much stuff going on) So he finally jumped in while we were taking a break and played. The water was so nice! 
The lake was beautiful. Not such great water, but the kids all loved the sand and the tube! Everyone got in the lake a time or two and drying out was quick and painless! The pictures of our trees aren't as handy at this moment, but I will post a few before and afters. We are so lucky to have someone in the family as knowledgable and proficent at trees as Mark and so willing to come down and help. Thanks guys!
