B @ the Lake

Beckett has been going to the lake with us since she was a baby girl. Each trip was different. When she was super little it was a lot of up and down, in and out, with her 3 naps a day! Last year she was 1, which meant a lot of moving around but not a lot of listening so it was hard to enjoy her in an open floor plan. Ha. We ended up turning the basement into a gated play area for her and it made all the difference! This year, well, this year was the best. She's 2 now. She's a great listener. She loves the water. She loves to be outside and in a swimsuit and ride on the boat. She was just wonderful and down for anything - we had SUCH a great visit kicking off the season Memorial Day weekend. Here are a few photos from our fun.
