Vacation: Lake

Over the week that we were on vacation, I took a LOT (nearly 500) of photos and I think the best way to recap it for you is to divide it into separate blog entries. Our week was so much fun and it was really nice to spend that time as a family. Videos are still not uploading unless I let them sit for 4 hours and so I can't share those yet, which makes me sad.

Our time at the cabin was spent either on the beach and sitting at the edge of the lake splashing, crawling through the backyard and exploring, or scaling the furniture inside the cabin. (There was some toilet paper unrolling too, as you can see.)

We took Jax for a paddle boat ride one day and then he decided he would be a better driver and so we let him drive on the beach ;) The photo of him standing on the couch makes us laugh because of how he had to stand to yell. He would crawl up there, touch the picture on the wall and then stick his belly out and yell til he ran out of oxygen, get down and then do it all over again. There is a couple families of ducks that spent a good part of the day swimming around at the end of the dock and waddling around the beach. One afternoon, the mama duck came by the end of the dock (making sure she kept her distance from the boys) and started quacking at them. Both Josh and Jax quacked back and carried on a fairly long conversation with the duck ~ after that, when a duck would come around, Jax would quack.
