Our Summer Vacation - Part 5 - Mama & Daddy

Higgins Lake - North State Park
The joy this short little person has is amazing. It literally feels like Christmas morning every day with her. She is silly and sweet and full of spunk and vinegar. She loves life and we love her!

We visited Hartwick Pines one day on vacation. We love this state park with its windy trails, hundred year old pines and old cabins. Cricket was on the go, but she sat still for 2.3 seconds...just barely enough time to snap this photo. Bonnie also went, but she was off sniffing something or other. Both our girls LOVE Hartwick Pines and exploring freely. What a treat to have a nature loving family!

The second photo is another from the beach day. Cricket is splashing and kicking and having a grand time in the process. I'm trying to swing her in and out of the water while getting barraged with baby waves and giggles. It was pretty awesome!

Sometimes people ask us if Cricket prefers her Mama or her Daddy. I honestly don't think she has a preference. I think she enjoys different things about Mr. Schalk and me. However, I can say with confidence that she is the happiest when we are ALL together as a family. So am I! Yay vacation! :)

About A Cupcake for Moose

Combining my childhood nickname of “Moose” and a sincere passion for all things sweet, A Cupcake for Moose was formed in 2009. Follow along this Midwesterners joyful, slightly dorky, always unique perspective on life as I seek to glorify God through photos, stories, recipes and laughter. With my wild at heart husband, Mr. Schalk, our two babies, "Cricket" and "Chief", and our crazy pup, Bonnie, it is sure to be an adventure!
