Lake Fun

I aboslutely love this time of year.  It is usally not to hot yet but warm enough to enjoy so many activities outside that I love.  I really miss camping but with Mckenzie's lack of sleep over the last 2 years we have not been willing to torture ourselves to tent camping with a baby who doesn't sleep!

 

 

However, we decided that we were ready to give it a chance this weekend and the girls were so excited.  My family was out camping so we thought we would just camp for one night with them.  But then there was a decent chance of rain and thunderstorms on Saturday and night and I have camped in a tent in a storm without kids so I imagine that the misery is exponential with kids so we decided to just go out to the lake for the day.  It was a lot of fun and we even avoided the storms and only got rained on a few times.

 

I am so glad that the girls love being out and about outside at the lake.  We took a little family kayak ride up one oft he little arms of the lake.  They love it so much and Bailey asks 1,247 questions.

 

 

My niece Harper did not used to be a fan of the water but now she has become a little fish.

Sugie making her mean face.  She was actually really impatient and wanting to go to the lake ASAP!

My mom has this fun water trampoline and slide.  Bailey thought it was fantastic and spent almost the whole day on it.

 

 

I haven't been able to get her to eat a meat sandwich in months but she scarfed down 2 of them while we were there.  Guess she was working up quite an appetite.

Sugie and Haper had a blast ont he trampoline

 

 

Bailey haning out with the big girls.  She screamed so loud that she about drove them away! HA!

 

 

The water was pretty cold so Sugie spent a lot of time just floating around on the trampoline

 

 

Sister jumped for a bit on the trampoline but she was not crazy about how it moved around in the water or the time when her daddy almost dumped her off into the lake. So, she played in the sand and got dirty as usual.

 

 

My niece, Hanna, will not let me take her picture so Lisa was trying to help me out.  Doesn't look like much luck on my part.

 



 

Harper could barely keep her eyes open so she had a little snooze.

 

 

We had yummy fajitas for dinner made by chef Karen

 

 

Another failed attempt at taking Hanna's pic

 

 

Snacky twist

 

 

At least Hope lets me take her picture and is always smiling! :)

 

 

Trev is known in my family at campgrounds as "cobbler man" becuase he makes cobbler in the dutch oven.  This time he had a couple of little helpers.

 

 

They thought it was fantastic to help

 

 

I thought it might encourage them to actually try it but no such luck

 

 

Bailey said she tried it at school and didn't like it.  I have no idea what she is talking about but she has said that on more than one occasion
