Lake Time

Ok, so again, I have some catching up to do, oops! Two weekends ago we headed down to the lake for the weekend. Since Friday was my birthday we had a tasty dinner with Grammy & Grandpa to celebrate and even finished it off with some strawberries and dip, one of my favorites. Peyton of course loved the strawberries and liked the cream cheese dip after giving it a try. :) We played for a little while and then said our good byes to head down to the lake, fully anticipating that Peyton would conk-out before we hit the highway. Well, we were WRONG! We left the DVD player off to start thinking she would fall asleep but when she was still awake at Cole Camp we decided to turn on a movie. She obviously loved Toy Story as she stayed very tuned-in to the screen for the remaining 45 minutes of the trip. I still don't know how but she was super happy the entire trip down even though it was WAY passed her bedtime!

Here's a pic of Peyton on the trip down - gotta love the "ejection seat" stance!


Then on Saturday morning Peyton slept in a little which was awesome! After breakfast we headed down to the dock to enjoy a little peace and quiet - here's Peyton hangin' with Grandma. She did great with wearing her life jacket any time we were on the dock which was a relief.


Peyton even got to take a ride around the cove on the jet ski with Dad. She was super excited to get on the jet ski but as soon as she was one she wasn't quite as sure. I think she had a good time and I know Daddy enjoyed taking her for a ride!


Earlier in the day Grandpa had shown Peyton how to throw rocks into the lake - this was an awesome activity for Peyton, one that I'm pretty sure she could do ALL DAY LONG if we let her, who would've known?


And in the afternoon it POURED down rain so we were house bound. Here's Peyton & Grandpa checking out the river along the sidewalk next to the house -


And after the rain, Peyton enjoyed splashing in some puddles!


On Sunday we headed back to Clinton to pick-up Apollo and visit with Grammy, Grandpa, Granny & Great-Great Grandpa. Peyton slept most of the way to Clinton so was ready to play when we got there! After a great lunch we went out side to blow some bubbles and Peyton decided to take time to "stop and smell the hosta!" Later we headed to Granny & Great-Grandpa's house where Peyton entertained as usual!


Big accomplishments from the weekend included saying Grandpa & Grammy for the first time!
