CHAUTAQUA "Sea Legs"











Last weekend we went to Chautauqua w/ the Petrie Family!! What is there to say, but it was a BLAST! As fun-packed as it was, it was equally just as relaxing. Derek and I felt privileged to have that quality time with our oldest nieces/nephew and honestly to see them grow before our very eyes. Both Logan and Morgan conquered the raging waters and succeeded in knee boarding ~ it nearly brought tears to our eyes to see them NEVER give up!!! Kayla also had her "first" water experience and braved a wild tube ride w/ me ~ thanks for sharing that experience with me sweetie! The kids just loved being outdoors and Logan truly can't figure out why the DuRoss's have any other home but Chautauqua (really, why would you live anywhere else???). As sweet as that is, we're glad they live right here ~ only 10 minutes away (most of the time!!!). Selah soaked in every second w/ the "cousins" and came up with more imaginative games than I can even remember, gotta love that. As for Judah, our boy has his "sea legs" on and loved every minute/hours we spent on the boat!!! Thanks Petrie's for the wonderful memories ~ lets do a redo soon!

Was it just you and the kids?! You guys are so brave and probably the coolest aunt and uncle around. I love how Chautauqua is is having a rebirth of the olden days- everything cycles- life is so cool. :)

Sorry ~ Heather & Dave were there too (and we loved all our quality time w/ them)!! We just didn't get any great shots of them, which seems pretty typical when you're parents, I was surprised there were any of Derek & I.

Well, that doesn't make you any less cool- just more sane perhaps. :) Sounds like a great get away for both families.
