While we were sitting by the water, Angie spotted this piece of black string swimming. (Not kidding) We watched it wiggle it's way thru the water like a snake for awhile then I had to get my hands on it and investigate further. We held it and it wiggled. When we set it down it wrapped itself into a knot and we watched it untangle itself. I am still in awe. I googled this crazy creature and I think it may be a horsehair worm.

A trip to Grams cottage........
Some of the cousins hanging out. All the cousins will be together for a bit when the Mitchell cousins come to town next week. We can't wait. They have been busy putting together "Cousin Camp." Can't wait to see what's in store! Hurry up and get here guys. We miss you.
Gram, Mallory and Doll baby on the dock.
MINI ME
No question about it, this girl is definately my daughter. Besides the way she looks, you should hear the lungs on this girl as she bosses her brothers around. Oddly enough, most things that are repeated are phrases that have come out of my mouth. She can hold her own in this house for sure and when needed, she will always use her "baby sister" title to get out of things that she thinks are not fit tasks for a princess. The other day, I asked the three of them to roll up the hose, as a team. (Because the "team" unrolled it to spray each other down.) Brett said Mallo you need to help too. And she said, "Brett, I am just a baby ister." Sometimes her first s's are silent. Too funny, the stories could go on and on but as I looked at my girl the other day in her skirt and sunglasses, I saw ME.
