Drinking in the Sun

We spent Friday night at my dad's house - he lives on a lake in Brownstown, Indiana. That way - we had ALL DAY on Saturday to enjoy the water and boat. And enjoy them, we did. Emily is part fish and has to be wrestled out of the water, even for a boat ride. . . I thought she looked so pretty here before her hair was all wet!
Basking in the sunshine!


Riding on the waverunner "little boat" with Papaw.


I LOVE this photo of Brian and Emily jumping in together. LOVE IT!


Cannonballllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

This may seriously be one of my favorite photos of all times. . . Brian leads the way with the little ducklings behind him. He was awesome to be the main entertainment since I am not so much up for water sports these days. (Though I was quite proud to have been outside and a part of things for about 4 hours - that was an accomplishment!)We were also excited, because Maddie was more brave this visit. She wasn't afraid to walk in the sandy area of the lake - which is a first - and she jumped into daddy off the dock over and over and over again. Here she shows her killer grip on dad . . .It was such a nice day away from normal life - no computer, no phone ringing. The girls love being there, and we do, too. We also all got some nice sun to show for it!

looks so fun and refreshing.... i'm jealous, too, even though i tend to prefer a swimming pool over a lake or ocean! :) i can't believe you didn't get into the water, though.... that's what felt SOOOO GOOOOD just days (literally) before davey was born. i was in a friend's pool and i didn't have to "carry the weight" of the baby for an hour or so. LOVED that "break!"
