Venetian Festival 2011

Venetian Festival, one of my favorite weekends of the year!  We had another great time this year.  It started out a little intense for me as I got to drive the RV pictured below out the Evergreen S curve up to Charlevoix by myself.  Luckily my hubby has trained me to drive a lot of different vehicles with trailers, so I was able to take that experience and make it work. 


Getting ready for the Family Fun Run- 1 mile down Bridge St

All ready to go!!! 
 The Run was sooooo fun!!!  Owen ran pretty much the whole way, pretending he was "Lightning McQueen the whole time- sounds effects and everything.  Sophie got trampled pretty good at the start, but was a trooper.  She rode in the stroller, but did end up running across the finish line! I wish I would have taken a movie of the start- it really was a great time!  Owen was so into it.  

Yay!  We finished and got celebrate with our cousins Sadie, Jack and Haley!

Sophie rockin' it on the ski- she got quite a lot of hoops and hollers when we went through Ironton!

Owen had fun showing off as well!


 We had some fun with Nashu and Nasha- this is Mama Ica's brother and sister in law visiting from Romania.  They experienced their first time on a boat... a boat without a bathroom.  Oh boy- it was really funny explaining to them how we "go in the lake"

I got some smiles out of these Romanians, that can be hard to do sometimes!

The whole group, waiting for the fireworks to start
