July 4th

We traveled to Cleveland over the 4th of July. We spent a night in Grandma and Grandpa Russell’s cottage on Chippewa Lake, along with Aunt Katie. We had a great time swimming, playing in the sand, and paddling kayaks.

Louis got to play with several cousins close to his age including Tyler (who is 10 days older than Louis) and his big sister Elise (pictured in the wagon below).

We also got to see a parade, featuring lots of trucks and candy and ice pops for the spectators as well as a ski show featuring Matt’s cousin Morgan at the top of a pyramid (on the left).IMG_6384IMG_6415

Possibly the highlight for Louis was being able to ride a toy tractor, generously shared by his cousin Cameron. In this first clip you can hear Louis say “tractor”. 

A neighboring cottage had a trampoline, which was also a huge hit. In these videos Louis is bouncing with Cameron and Carly.

  1. I loved those videos. This trip reminds me so much of our Lake Powell trips.
