We made our second trip to the Lake during the weekend of July 29-31. This time around, Aimee, Henry and Alex were also visiting. This gave Morgan and Gwen 2 more people to swim with -- and gave us a chance to snap the annual "Dock Shot" of the cousins (seen above, the first 3 years of Dock Shots can be seen half way down the post linked here).
Murky weather on Friday (and a very late night traveling on Thursday) didn't stop the kids from playing on the beach and in the water. But, as you'll see, the clouds finally broke on Saturday and gave us a picture-perfect lake day.
On Friday morning, Morgan was eager to get in the water. Before long, she was floating all by herself (with a little help from her "floatie").
Meanwhile, Gwen opted to stay on shore -- which was a bit of a surprise considering her dare devilish tendencies.
Even after a day filled with swimming and playing, Morgan still had enough energy left to practice a couple karate moves with Alex.
The sun was shining bright on Saturday morning. So as soon as Gwen finished chasing the cats around and Morgan, Alex and Mayie made a snack, we hit the water again.
Morgan had a blast jumping off the dock to Andy, and synchronized jumping alongside Alex.
We were all really proud of how quickly Morgan learned to navigate around with the floatie. She swam from our dock to the neighbor's dock and back.
A family of ducks paid us a visit on Sunday morning before we left. Alex, Morgan and Gwen grabbed some old bread crusts and gave them a big breakfast.
We've already had more "lake time" this summer than we did all of last year -- and we have our "big" vacation still to come.
