Fun at the lake with Jen, Allie, and Robert!

Last weekend, Pearce and I went to Mama and Papa's lake house.  I was so excited that Auntie Jen, Allie, and Robert were going to be there, too!  We left early on Thursday and got to the lake in the early afternoon.  Papa got a new tube called the Jammer, so we got to try it out before Auntie Jen got there.....oh my gosh, it is so fun!!!!  I like riding with Pearce because I know Papa won't throw us off :)  We fished a little and just hung out with Mama and Papa until Jen got there.  I did not have as much luck with fishing this time and only caught a few, but my little Pearce was sooooo proud of himself when he caught a fish all by himself!  Papa was rigging up another rod for Robert and I was baiting my rod and Pearce was sitting on the dock with his rod already in the water.  All of a sudden Pearce yelled "It got my worm!  Hey, I got a fish!"  I thought he was just kidding but sure enough, he stood up holding his rod and a big sunfish was hanging off of it!  Pearce was soooo anxious for Auntie Jen to come, but as soon as they got there, he acted so shy :)  He always does that, for some reason, but it didn't take long for him to be all over them!  We had so much fun together.  We would go out on the lake in the late morning and tube and ski and swim for a few hours and then come back for lunch and rest up for another round of tubing, skiing, and swimming in the late afternoon.  I am not as adventurous as I used to be on the tube.  Ashley and I always loved getting thrown off it when we were little, but now, oh man, I was screaming my head off when I rode with Robert or Allie!  Actually, Allie and I both were screaming our heads off!  Robert was a dare devil and tried to get thrown off!  One time, I was riding with Pearce and we accidentally hit a big wave from another boat and Pearce and I went flying up on the tube and eventually we both fell off.  Pearce thought it was the best thing ever!  We really had fun going out to the middle of the lake to take a swim break.  We all loved jumping off the boat and trying out our dives.  Pearce even learned how to "dive" all by himself :)  It was pretty much a belly flop, but with his hands stretched out and together.....but he was proud of himself!  We all took turns on the kayak and also did some Pokémon hunting with Robert...he found a couple.  Jen and I REALLY wanted to do early morning skiing and we set our alarms the first morning, but we just could not do it.  We both turned our alarms off and slept in.  We tried the next morning, but no go and then we just stopped trying to get up :)  Our days were full of non stop fun which meant by the time we went to bed, no one woke up before 10 most mornings, well, except for Papa :)  Pearce and I left Monday morning so that we could get ready for our California trip on Friday!!!!  Thanks for a great lake visit Mama and Papa!!!  It was so fun being with you Auntie Jen, Allie, and Robert!!!!!

  1. What fun!!! I'm so glad you all got some fun time with Jen, Robert, and Allie. I know how much Pearce loves being with Robert, and pretending that they are the same age. Thanks, Robert!! You are a jewel. I'm pretty impressed that you and Jen can still do some of that stuff.
