This past weekend we took Kerry Lu for her first visit to Nana and Papaws place at the lake. She had a great time, for the most part. She really didn't like the annoying but necessary life vest and she wasn't sure about swimming in the lake at first. After we got in and just kinda floated around for a while, though, she relaxed, and nearly fell asleep in the water. She kept sucking on her lake-water soaked life vest (eww). Kerry seems to like to suck on fabric when she's sleepy, and usually falls asleep sucking on her crib sheet (so cute). Anyway, here are some pictures from her first lake visit.

Getting ready for a swim

She kept her little legs wrapped firmly around me and I had to have at least one hand on her the whole time or she wasn't happy.

Aunt Debbie, cousin Sydnie and Daddy(s arm) joined us.

I'm sure I'll like it better next time.

All of that floating was oddly relaxing

Sydnie likes to help Papaw drive the pontoon


And she swims like a little fish

Now this is my kind of fun! Walking laps around the fire-pit deck.

Sydnie is so good with Kerry

Yesterday evening Kerry got to meet Dougs cousin, Kim, her husband Mike and son, Chris. She had a blast and absolutely loved all of them, and I think they were pretty smitten with her,too.

Snoozing...



Just cuz' I looked so cute in my "pigtails" today.
