Lakehouse!!!!!

Ahhhh, it is that time of year again and we are so excited!!! Last weekend we spent a few days at the lakehouse and we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. It was great and Shelby and JP had so much fun! We left on Saturday morning and got their right around lunch time. After nap our swimsuits were on and we spent the rest of the time there in them. Shelby and JP were like little waterbugs.

One of the best things about the lakehouse is how close it is. The ride up there is a breeze especially when coupled with the excitement of being in your bathing suit all day in the sun. JP is our little incognito superstar in training. He loves wearing sunglasses no matter what time of day or what kind of weather. This picture was taken after he finally got the sunglasses turned around and on properly. For about 20 minutes he had them on upside down and he was just chillin' with his glasses and raisins.

And of course, you can't take a picture of one and not the other so here is Shelby enjoying the ride. She was very excited to get to stay in her pajamas for the trip. I am not exactly sure why, but she really wanted to wear them up there.

Besides spending endless amount of time floating in the water, Shelby and JP really enjoyed playing with their fishing poles. Instead of hooks on the end they have these little plastic toys to help the line fly when you cast it and sink a little as you reel them in. Shelby got really good at casting by the end of the first day we were up there and I just got the biggest kick out of watching her "fish". Everytime she would stand one leg out to the side and her hip cocked like she was some sort of professional beauty queen fisherwoman.

JP on the other hand had a bit of a time trying to figure out how to push the button down and cast the line out. One thing I have to give him is that he never gave up the entire weekend. He would get frustrated and moody about the whole thing and anytime anyone tried to help him he would get really upset, but he never put that pole down.

One time Shelby threw out her line and Pratt put it in his mouth and let her reel him in like he was a fish. Shelby and JP laughed and laughed. They just loved it and then they started wanting to be caught. After a few times, JP put the line in his mouth and then got down in the water and started "swimming" as I reeled him in. It was one of the cutest things by far!!!

The whole weekend was wonderful! We had a great time swimming, having tea parties, fishing, washing the dog, tubing, and of course eating. All the way home Shelby asked if we could go back.
