A funny Karina story

At the cabin, there is a main house and two small cabins.  One is for their boys and one is the guest house.  The guest cabin was perfect for our family, with a loft area that Spencer and Karina slept in.  There is a bathroom in the house, but there is also a porta-potty by the boys cabin so there are not 10 people to one bathroom.  It is the cleanest porta-potty I have ever seen with rugs, a seat cover, decorations, etc. 
Karina has been working very hard on potty training.  She is about 90% there and have been such a big girl going to the bathroom by herself.  At this cabin, she loved this porta-potty.  The first day, it was a bit cold in Chelan but the second was much nicer and Karina spent all day in her swim suit.  As you ladies know, one piece swim suits can be a bit difficult to potty in. I didn't even think about that when Karina ran in and announced she was going to the bathroom.  I watched as she ran to the porta-potty.  When she came back to the house she very proudly announced that she loved the shoe holder in the potty.  Shoe holder?  What?

She told us a second time that she used the shoe holder...it took a bit to figure it out.  This way cool shoe holder was the urinal.  To go potty, she had to take off her swim suit...to take off her swim suit, she had to take off her shoes...and of course they go in the shoe holder.  We laughed and laughed and then cleaned off her shoes. 

....still makes me laugh....a urinal....

A day on the boat

The first day in Chelan, the weather was okay.  The kids were so excited to swim, they tried their best but it was a bit cold.

Mom, it's cold!

Mom, it's COLD!

Dad, it's cold!

Not cold enough to stop me from playing on the jet ski

 Luckily, the weather the second day cleared up and the kids got to go intertubing.  Spencer loved it and was a crazy man.  Karina wanted to go faster, but we limited her speed...she is only 3 years old. Matt and Jessi had some crazy tubing also.  After a few hours, we took a tour of the lake and towed the tube slowly with Karina, Spencer, and cousin Jessi.  I didn't think it was possible, but Karina fell asleep on the tube.  We got a good laugh at that.  Gab also slept most of the ride.

Good news

The good news is that I got my camera back from my mom, just in time for our family trip to Chelan.  When I got it back, there was this video my mom took of Gab, Karina, and my sister Nanima....enjoy!
