This Vacation We Took... Part Three, The Lake!

So, in order for the grandpups to enjoy a week with Gigi and Ru, we headed to the lake both before and after our beach week. This also helped split up the very long drive into more manageable (for a toddler) 3-4 hour drives. I mentioned in the first post that Anna probably would have been just as satisfied to stay at the lake. The girl went from water lover to fish over the course of our time spent there. We paddle boarded, took jet ski rides, and worked on swimming solo while wearing a puddle jumper. Oh and we ate a lot... we had to fill up Anna's calorie counter, as Mark and I called it all week. It was like you could see her going from green, to yellow, to red red red as she expended her energy!

The newest toy at the lake- the golf cart! Anna likes a ride, and it is nice to not have to carry everything every time!

Knee boarding lessons with Daddy!

Gigi preferred to "kayak" when Anna was aboard... Anna had no qualms about riding far from shore!

Family jet ski ride! When Mark would slow down, Anna would say "More Faster!". She would also request "circles" (donuts).

Waving on a ride with Gigi- This girl loves the jet ski!

My little reader reading with Ru! (beautiful sheet to keep my dogs fur off the couch ;)

Looking so big, washing dishes, hair in a pony tail!

This was a fun game... says the person who didn't have to lift the toddler up and down out of the water!

Daddies really make the best lake toys!

What is better than a paddle board ride with a toddler? One with a toddler and a dog!

Awesome!
