Water Baby...

We finally got a chance to get to the lake, and although the weather wasn't the best, we had a great time. Hopefully we'll get back down there sometime, the lake is one of our favorite places. Right now the cabin is being renovated and its going to be amazing and beautiful when its done, I can't wait to see it. Maybe then we'll be more likely to stay down at the lake.... no more snakes and mice!

We thought we'd share some of the pictures of our Water Baby.... and a few other things.

Jordan and Derek offered to blow up Ava's floaty... very sweet of them

Ava's first boat ride, she hated the life jacket - it pushed her

little cheeks up so high, but she loved watching

the waves at the back of the boat

getting sleepy

amazingly this happens to all the babies,

and it was incredibly rough on the lake that day

just up from her nap

happy girl having a snack

we finally got to get in the water when the sun came out for a few

minutes. Ava loves to splash in the water and

doesn't care if it goes all over her face.

trying out her floaty car on dry land

and into the water we go!

Ava, wave to Daddy!

Ava LOVES Derek, (sorry Chels)

she'd sit on his lap all day if she could

being silly with Daddy

Happy 4th of July

We hope you had a great weekend too!
