Christina Lake!!!

We jetted down to Xina Lake after the super fun pagan wedding on Saturday. It was a bit of a spur of the moment decision to cut out of work and bail on all responsibilities and run away for a couple of days to hang out with Chris, Kirsten and Coen. But hey, summer evidently only comes one weekend a year around here. Fun to have some cousin times!
Even though it looks like we spent the whole time throwing children dangerously high, we didn't, they got a little tired of it after two or three hundred times. Certainly sooner than Chris or I got tired of it.

Brother 1: I bet I can throw my son higher than you can.

Brother 2: I bet I can throw your son higher than you can.

The best part about these pictures is that the mothers weren't wringing their hands telling us to stop, but operating the camera.

Smile if you like eating sand! And rubbing it in your eyes, ears, hair...


Okay boys, when Uncle Chris goes out on the dock I'll kneel down behind him and you push him in the water.

WOW! What amazing photos!!!! The B&W ones are stunning.

You ought to enlarge the first one of the baby tossing (if not more) for your place. Such excellent shots.

Did my brother tell you to make those nice comments? Most of the shots are his, the ones of both of us throwing the kids are from Kirsten.

There seems to be an awful lot of baby butt clenching in some of those aerial shots.....!!!
