It was our first trip to the lake - as a family of four!!
Was I a little nervous about making the drive up there with both girls? Yep. Did it go perfectly? Nope. But did we have a great time once we got there? YES! :o)
Car rides have never been our forte. Taylor wasn't a fan of the car when she was little, and now she gets carsick quite frequently. Camryn is like Taylor as a newborn because she doesn't fall asleep easily in the car, and when she gets mad about being in her car seat, it takes a lot to calm her down. So it took a few ziplock bags (3 to be exact - one on the way there, and 2 on the way back) during Taylor's car sick episodes, lots of attempts with the paci for Camryn to soothe her, and a few Dora episodes on the iphone to make it there and back. But we made it!
The weather was nice (with the exception of Sunday, which turned into a good day for shopping :)), and Taylor couldn't get enough of the beach, sand, seashells, and water. Between sunshine, being on the boat, eating good food, and just relaxing (as much as you can with 2 kids), it was a good trip. And I turned 31. Yikes. That seems old. :o)
Playing on the beach
Our little explorer - checking out the natural stream that runs through our yard
Taylor spent a lot of time in just her diaper - she was happiest running around this way for the most part :)
Taylor also decided she was going to be a big kid and no longer want to sit in her booster seat for meals, but preferred sitting up on a big stool instead - silly girl :)
Sharing popcorn for a snack - yum!
Little miss Camryn got her own special attention as well - next summer will be so fun when she is RUNNING around splashing with Taylor!
Camryn spent a lot of time sleeping - all that fantastic air off the lake and sound of the waves and water seem to create GREAT naps for both girls!
(Yes - she is sleeping on her tummy, which we allow during naps when we can keep an eye on her...she LOVES her tummy)
We can't wait to go back - yay for summer!!
