On Sunday after church we headed to the lake to meet up with my parents and brothers to hang out. We had a nice little vacation! Vivian skipped her nap both days to play on the water...she loved every part of it. She was a little fish! Kate, not so much:
She was pretty unhappy about most things, especially the boat. She's very timid about trying new things and gets scared easily. But, after a few minutes and some strategic distractions, wah-lah:
sweet, happy Kate is back and enjoying the ride!
Vivian was independent and carefree, as always.
On Sunday we celebrated Stephen's 25th birthday with an awesome homemade meal by mom (bbq ribs!) and our classic yellow cake/chocolate icing birthday cake. Happy birthday, brother! Thanks for letting us party with you.
Typical Kate: messy food face, and attached to Papa.
This is the only picture I got of Vivian's patriotic bathing suit that I got at Walmart at the last minute...it was either $2.50 or $5 :) She didn't want to get out of the water for anything.
Gramme took the girls on a ride on the paddle boat, and it was a hit.
Fun with Daddy on the jet ski! I rode a couple of times, too.
On Monday we tried to spend more time on the boat, so I attempted to let Kate take her nap there. Successful! She fell asleep around normal nap time, but woke early. It was sweet for me to hold her while she was sleeping...haven't done that in forever! The sad thing was that our boat ride didn't last long because of a threatening storm.
We hailed down the ice cream boat both days, and Vivian was thrilled.
One last ride on the paddle boat with Papa before the rain came on Monday afternoon!
We had a great time and rested well. Thanks for letting us join you, Mom and Dad!
