The Treasure Hunt
 |
| Grandpa found some pretty tricky spots to hide the clues! Ryan, Cayla and Lucy were always in hot pursuit of the clues. Charlie enjoyed running from spot to spot but then found other diversions instead of looking for clues :). |
 |
| Ryan became the official clue reader. |
 |
| The treasure has been found! The boathouse refrigerator held the silver treasure canister! |
 |
| Hooray for candy!!! |
The Last Hurrah of Summer
We were able to take an extended weekend at the cabin over Labor Day Weekend before plunging into the school year. We drove up Thursday night after work and stayed through late morning on Monday. The weather was unusually cool and the water was icy compared to what we were used to feeling! One of the nicest days of the weekend was on Kerry's birthday (although the coldest she can ever remember waking up to at 42 degrees). The Hopps came up to join us on Saturday afternoon. Lucy and Cayla were like long lost friends and all of the kids got along so well. The kids especially enjoyed a treasure hunt created by "Grandpa Keith".
 |
| They could throw rocks into the lake for hours! |
 |
| Charlie spent most of the summer being opposed to paddling and water in general but he came around! |
 |
| Charlie has a new love for minnows; he especially likes holding them. |
 |
| Lucy told Cayla they needed to sit by the light so she could read the book...even though she doesn't know how to read words yet :) |
Happy 50th Anniversary
We had a fun weekend celebrating Grandma and Grandpa Hyland's 50th Wedding Anniversary earlier in August. Friday night we played lawn games, ate Mickey's pizza and had ice-cream cake. Saturday included a spa morning for the girls, golf for the guys, and then a beautiful night out at The Muse at Sentry World. Here's a peak at the couple at 50 years and on their wedding day!
Charlie 2 Year Update (Yes 5 months late)
Growth at check up:
Height: 34.0" (34th%)
Weight: 27.78 lbs (45th%)
Head circumference: 19.2" (49th%)
Charlie definitely changed gears around the 2 year mark. Our previously easy going and agreeable child is now very opinionated. He also takes his role of a pesky little brother very seriously by pushing and hitting Lucy, knocking her towers down, and singing louder than she prefers. He is so used to saying "I'm Sorry" that sometimes he says that instead of "Thank you" out of habit.
His newest phrase when being asked to do something or if he wants something is: "Yes but No". Or even worse: "No but No". Despite these things he is also a snugly and affectionate child who melts our hearts.
Favorite Movie: The Grinch (the "new" one) and Cat in the Hat.
Favorite Book: This goes in streaks, but some favorites are:
-Polar Bear, Polar Bear
-Surfer Chick
-Mr. Brown
Favorite Songs:
-ABC's (Charlie and Dad really belt this one out at bed time).
-Twinkle, Twinkle
-Wishing Well

Lucy's First Day (of riding a bus)!
Lucy has been looking forward to this day for at least two years... riding a bus to school! It turns out the bus doesn't run for the first two days of 4k, which threw everyone for a loop on the first day of school.
