The Lake

Ben's dad and step-mom bought a lake house at Lake Viking several years ago! It is the perfect lake, and the best part is, it is only 45 minutes from our driveway! Perfect! We went up there several times with Brooklyn last summer, but not as much as we would have liked.  We headed up there the weekend after the 4th for a long weekend! We got up there around 10am on Friday morning and stayed until Sunday afternoon! It was a great weekend!

Don and Janet (Pa-Pa and Grammie-pronounced "baby" by Brooklyn) sure did spoil Brooklyn with a bunch of fun toys!!

{Pool from last year and a new water table!}

 

{Play house! This was Brooklyn's favorite toy}

{A climber with slide!}

{Of course a swing-PaPa bought this at the beginning of summer so she already knew this was there!}

{This cute table and umbrella Janet bought last year, but this year Brooklyn really got to enjoy it!}

We were outside ALL day long! We woke up, ate breakfast then outside we went! We ate lunch outside! We would go in for Brooklyn to watch a show and have milk before nap! After nap she would want to go right back outside! She slept so good there-which made me so happy! She has her own little room with her own crib-it is a perfect setup! Thanks Don and Janet for all of the hospitality for Brooklyn, and Ben and me!

We bought Brooklyn a new lifejacket this year, but she still wasn't a fan of it.  When I saw that the puddle jumpers were Coastguard approved for boating I knew I had to get one! It was perfect for the boat and for when Brooklyn wanted to go on the dock!

Boat Ride! She loved it! The only thing was, she kept wanting to get up and move around from the front to the back! She also really liked sitting on the floor of the boat! Silly!

 She had fun cooling off in the hose and getting a drink!

 Playhouse fun!

 Her and daddy were doing silly tricks on the slide!

It was a great weekend and we can't wait to get back up there!
