The Lake

Dear Abigail,

First off, Holy Cow I am behind on my posting!!! And because of that, these next couple posts will be short and simple. Ha, who am I kidding - I can't make any story short and simple. It's a talent I have.

Second off, Holy Cow have you had a fun month! Let's start with the lake. A couple weekends ago, we met the entire fam at Uncle Jay's parent's lake house, and when I say the entire fam, I mean the entire fam!!! You, Daddy and Mommy, of course, and then Uncle Jay, Ash-ash, and Clara Lee and Jesse, then Mimi & Pic-pic, then Uncle Bubba, Aunt G, John Michael, Em, and Kateland!! We got there on Thursday night and boy was everyone excited to see everyone! But, I think we were more excited about getting on that lake! And so we did, ALL DAY Friday and Saturday. I'll let the pictures do the talking!

So excited to get out on the water!!

Of course, you heard a loud noise (i.e. the boat) and had to cover your ears...
You two girls loved just cruising...
and there was some swinging...

and swimming...

and you did some driving, with a little help from Uncle Bubba...

and lovin' from Daddy

and dancin' on the cooler - yep, you heard me, dancing on the cooler. Which did cause a little problem amongst the 2 of you, but it was short lived and we all continued to enjoy ourselves :)

And then tubing!! Look how happy we are, ready to get on the tube, have some fun...

AND WE DID!!!!

but only for about 2.4 seconds. We weren't going that fast and with Mommy carrying Kate around in her belly I couldn't hold onto you and the tube very well, and well, the tube soon enough took a nose dive and so did we. You didn't care for that, and that was the end of your tubing days, at least for this trip to the lake. That's okay - next year we'll get a better grip on the tube and keep it out of the water! Daddy sure did enjoy it though!!

And you sure had fun watching everyone else tube, or at least most everyone else. Clara Lee wasn't getting near that tube, but John Michael took a spin, with pretty much the same outcome as you!

GIRL POWER COUSINS!

While we made a ton of memories and had such a good time, the one thing I think you will carry with you is Mimi's lost towel. That's right, Mimi lost her favorite pink towel in the lake - apparently it blew off while we were cruising around. You were such a good little granddaughter and looked and looked for that towel for her. You offered your pink towel to her, and reminded us often (okay, more than often) that we had to look for Mimi's towel. Weeks later, you still talk about how Mimi lost her towel on the lake. You make us laugh like no other little girl! Overall, you loved the lake and the boat, and while you loved tubing for only 2.4 seconds, I think you will grow into it! We had such a fun time and I'm very mildly hinting to Aunt Ash-ash that we make it a tradition to visit the Lake House each summer :)

Love you lake girl!!!
