Door County 2007

We are back from our 5th Annual Swanson family vacation. It flew by and we were back home before we knew it, and these next few days are being spent doing laundry and catching up on bills...ew! I got 5 books read while there because the boys were pre-occupiued with the beach the whole time. It was a beautiful thing!






love those legs!



Ev.























Maxo.








Just and the boys.





















Too busy playing (and Evan eating!) in the sand to pose for the camera! Crazy boys!





















The girls: Joelle, Anne, Jaimee, Julia, & Jane.
















Grandma Jane, Grandpa John, Evan, Max, and Jaimee.











Jordan & Justin













My Mother-in-law Jane, always comes up with some great project for us girls to do each year. This year we did flower pounding. Using pre-treated fabric we taped and then pounded flowers (yes real) on our oak boards. It was really addicting and we all agreed a great way to realease stress!
From left to right:
Anne, Joelle, Mom Jane, Jaimee, and Julia.


Julia bought Joelle and I these fabulous scarves at a Swedish shop. We had a great Swede dinner,and then shopping afterwards. What more can girls ask for?





Despite two canceled flights we made it there and back and the boys did really well. On our first flight the flight attendant let Max go into the cockpit and he met the pilots and they gave him a postcard with information about our plane and a picture of it, he thought it was pretty neat.
Maxwell loved it all, and every time we got off a flight he would ask, " Go on another plane?" He also really was particularly fond of all the airplane literature.



Evan was loving the window seat, and it was pretty neat watching the sun set in the sky.
It was a fabulous vacation, and as always and we cannot wait until next year!

Looks like a lot of fun. I love the plane pics and Evan has the best legs and toes....what a yummy little guy...too cute. I love those baby rolls. Why are those not as cute on me. HEE HEE.

Wow, great pictures! You guys look like you had so much fun and I'm glad that your boys did well on the plane. We had a bad plane experience with out children, but they were 1 and 2 1/2, so I guess that explains that...and we went from Baltimore to Denver. Anyway, I love the pictures and yes, love those chubby little legs and toes on your boy, I could bite his little piggies!!!!
