Memorial Day 2011

Memorial Day 2011 with the Erickson Clan was a blast as always! Plenty of swimming, boating, jet-skiing, eating, laughing, and playing of course! These pics are all out of order, but I am not patient enough to fix them :)

Sweet Whitney won the first ever Kidfest portion of our annual triathlon! And Jon won the whole triathlon this year :) Woohoo! Whit was sooooo excited when Uncle Clark said she was the winner...here she is posing with her trophy...LOVE that expression of sheer JOY!!!

Family pic of the 4 of us...not great, but these days, I'm not picky. Its a miracle to get all 4 of us in any pic at all! ;) Caroline was taunting Miles with her beads, so Jon is trying to hide them and hold her hands down, but obviously Miles is onto him...ha!

Caroline looooved swimming with the big girls!

Miles enjoyed his first jet-ski ride with Daddy

Somehow, Uncle Bryce corralled all of the kids and convinced them that washing the boat was FUN! Hilarious. This kept them busy for at least 30 minutes, which is a lifetime when you're talking about 5 kids ages 2-4 :)

Wyatt, Whitney , and Caroline posing after the "run" portion of the Kidfest. Seriously, SO CUTE (and hilarious!)

Grammy and Grandpa with all 9 grand kids!

Emma (4), Benjamin (2), Lainey Ann (11 mo), Wade (11 mo), Wyatt (2), Miles (1), Piper (10 mo), Whitney (4), and Caroline (2).

Ready to Race! The "bike" portion of the Kidfest

The 5 big kids got to eat together for every meal, which of course they loved :)

Splish Splash, Miles! Someone loves the water :)

Caroline had to sit in time-out...ha ha. I can't remember why, but everyone else was playing while she had to sit out (in the wagon that trails behind the mower ;))

Twinkie Boys :) The boy half of the Fab 4...Wade and Miles...Laid back, just kickin it.
