Lake Pleasant
Everyone in our family will admit that Leslie comes up with some pretty crazy forms of entertainment. This time she wanted us to wake up at 6am and head off to the lake, rent kayaks and a boat....."ok Leslie sure thing". Well, I decided we would sit this outing out. It did not sound like fun worrying about my 4 little kids by the water and with no trees as coverage for our WHITE skin!! Plus I was not about to wake up at the crack of dawn. Well, at 9am Leslie and the older boys and my other sisters headed out the door with Grandpa Mike. As soon as they were gone my mom and I thought maybe this would be fun after all. So we took our time getting our things together and made our way to the lake.
It turned out to be SO much fun!!! THANKS, LESLIE!!
Once again Chloë could not take her arms off Kate, she just loves her!
Everyone had their fill of rowing by the time we showed up. It was really perfect timing. Grandpa Mike took Olivia, Sam, and I on a ride on the speed boat (which Sam just LOVED). We found Valerie and Aaron, and Andrea and Spencer, and Leslie and Chase in the middle of the lake. So Grandpa Mike helped Val and Chase get into the speed boat and Olivia and I got in their Kayak and started paddling.
All we really did was paddle back to the dock to return the kayak, but it was the perfect amount of time for us. Olivia swam in the lake a little with Seth and Spencer. They had the best time!
We all got back together at the dock and were ready to head home. Our coming so late was perfect. Barbie had kept Lauren and Chloë so I could be with the older kids. Thanks, mom. I hope I am as good of a grandma as you are!
Olivia had so much fun she said, "I love this, can we do this for my birthday!"
