Thursday (continued)
Auntie Bird and Joe arrived with presents for G & V. The first toy was a set of bubble guns. These were a HUGE hit with the twins.
Then, as Joe, Wes, and I swam in the lake, Auntie Bird, Gavin, and Vivian played with these weird foam squishy thingies that stuck together after getting wet. Viv was IN LOVE and Gavin thought it was VERY cool.
There was some serious playtime before and after dinner, which was made by Meghan and was incredible.
I fell asleep rather early (no surprise there) and Bird, Joe, and Wes stayed up late enjoying the fire.
Friday
Friday was a big day for all of us because we were renting another boat for the day! We piled in our car and drove for what seemed like forever to pick it up. At first, it seemed like the day was not going to go well...
But they cheered up rather quickly and we were good to go!
Once we figured out where we were, it was time to ride the raft! Joe went first and then Auntie Bird did it!
Gavin asked if he could go next. First, he went with me.
Then it was time to head back to our house for a nap. Once everyone woke up, we got on the boat again. We had a little fun on the boat while it was docked; trying to start the boat, posing for pictures, etc.
Once we got going, Gavin asked to ride the raft right away. This time, Daddy took him.
(And yes, he is standing.)
We returned the boat around 5, stopped to pick up a pizza, and headed home for a little more swimming and some vegging out.
Saturday
Saturday was our last day of vacation :-( And, we had to be out of the house by 10am. Tear.
We tried to pack up as much as possible the night before and then spent the morning playing out by the water one last time and taking some group pictures.
In the above picture, we asked them to smile. In the below two pictures, we asked them to make a funny face. I have no idea why Gavin thought that turning upside down was a funny face. Crazy kid.
It was the perfect end to an amazing week on the lake!
