Lake Day - August 21st

Now that I am on my "holiday break" from work, I thought it would be a great time to fill in for the last 4 months that I have not blogged. I know it seems kinda crazy to go back to August, but for the purposes of having our blog printed as a book, it has to be done! So, here goes....

We decided at the end of the summer, before Shawn started his school session and to have one last hoorah for the summer, we should spend the day on the lake!! So that's what we did. We rented a pontoon boat and went out on Lake Norman with some friends for the day. And, as a spur of the moment decision, we also tacked on two jet skis to play with!! And boy were we glad we did! We left Braxton at home since the Lake isn't really a place for a toddler, but Reilly had a BLAST! Especially since her best buddy, Evan, was there too. We packed lunch and snack food and just anchored the boat over in a little cove. And that's where we spent an entire 3 hours! It was awesome. So relaxing and so much fun. Reilly LOVED the jet skis and it didn't take her too long before she was ready to "GO FAST!" It was a really fun day and, as always, lead to many conversations (aka, dreams!) about the possibility of maybe owning a boat one day.....not happening :)

Reilly actually took this next picture from the boat! she was on the boat eating a snack and told her to grab my camera and take a shot of all of us in the water. Not bad for a 3 yr. old, huh?!
