Wyckoff Lake Weekend

Maev-

We're almost at the end of all our summer adventures. This week was a big week for you. Last Sunday Grandpa and Grandma came to Nashville to pick you up and "borrow" you for a few days. You headed back to Memphis and Mommy and Daddy were left at home, alone.

On Monday, while we were missing you, you got to hang out with MT, Gpa, Aunt Anna, and even some cousins.

On Tuesday, you made an appearance at Grandma's school and visited some of Grandpa's friends.

Then Wednesday you headed to the Pickwick Pines resort with Grandma and Grandpa. Eventually Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Lesley, Aunt Robyn, Matt and Jake all arrived there too.

Before the lake, we had fun with an art activity-





Then we spent the next 2 days on the boat. You watched us tube with Grandma-

Aunt Robyn bought you a swim shirt and new hat that you actually wore!
Here are all the happy couples-


You also got a new life jacket. You liked it ok, but preferred to wear your swim thingy.

After two long days at the lake. We spent the last day playing and hanging out at the pool. Check out the matching swimsuit that Aunt Robyn unintentionally got you.
More pool time fun. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for a great week!

4th of July Re-cap

We headed out to Lake Cumberland over July 4th weekend with Mt, Gpa, and Uncle Jr.

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy golfed with Uncle Jr.
Technically I think I played the best which included NOT hitting any condos! Later you helped Daddy return the golf cart.
Sunday we went on a pontoon boat, and Daddy look very Baywatch on the waverunner. Mommy even convinced Daddy to jump off the boat with her!You rode the waverunner too and even drove the boat with Mt and Gpa. You eventually got a little sleepy, but never fell asleep until we got in the car. We hope you had a great time! Happy July 4th Maev!

Weekend Round-Up Hot Edition

It was HOT this weekend, like unbearably hot, like 100 degree hot. Looks like we joined the pool just in time. I searched all over to find you the right type of swimming life jacket/floaty thing and settled on the one pictured below. It gives you a little more freedom to explore and practice your paddling skills. You loved propelling yourself forward and even floating on your back. We went both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday we were smart enough to bring your sunglasses which you finally kept on. I think you finally figured out that they let you see in all the sun!

We also played on shady toddler playground near the pool and you climbed UP with slide all by yourself. You are such a big girl!

We're looking forward to many more pool days this summer.
