Introducing Lauren's first age appropriate female friend -- Evelyn Bradley. As to be expected, Brendan fawned over Evie. Lauren and Evie played well together. We tried to set up a few cage matches, but no blood was drawn. The girls settled things in a civilized manner.

How can I stand up without getting my hands dirty? 

Evie enjoys her view of Big Twin Lake.

The Bradleys enjoy a moment of sun at the lake. 

Sharon meditates on the deck.

Could you please stop taking pictures of us?

Brendan continues to refuse to smile for the camera. This is as good as it gets these days. 

Megan guards the door . . .  

Brendan & Lauren love sporting their Hawaiian outfits. Thank you Aunt Annie and Uncle T. 

We've confirmed that this is the fakest smile ever caught on camera. 

Our first visit to the Michigan State Fair. Here we are seated at the Pork Chop Revue. Uncle Mike loved the singing pig. 

Brendan, Mike & Catherine were intriqued by the cows. 

Lauren loved the pigs at the State Fair. 

Grandpa DuBay's 59th Birthday 

Lauren loves celebrating birthdays . . .

Go Irish! (Yes, Brendan does look really creepy. He's really developing the worst fake smile ever.)
