Lakeside Living

It topped out at 87 degrees today with clear sunshine. So, we spent a good part of the afternoon hanging out on the deck for the first time this spring. Grace played on her swing, we sat on the big swing together, and we put water in the sand and water table and got really messy!Then Kyle came over to try out his Christmas present... a kayak! He did one lap of the lake alone and when he got back to shore Grace kept saying "boat" so we asked her if she wanted to go for a ride. She did and luckily I had a life vest just the perfect size for her. (I bought it a few years ago for Kyle's nephew to wear when he visited my house. )

So they went for a ride.
Grace looked a little nervous, but when they came back she didn't want to get out of the kayak.She helped carry the paddle up to the garageand then climbed back into the kayak waiting to go again!
Maybe tomorrow!

Wow Grace! You look great in that Kayak. You even look like you know just what to do! And about that shirt...adorable! You are "one smart cookie."

Grace, I love the pictures of your riding in the kayak. I think when you are older your mommy will have to send you to this very special camp where you can learn how to operate all different kinds of boats. You would love it!

Love,
Aunt Jill
