Labor Day weekend at the lake!

Labor Day weekend was a lot of fun for us!  We went to Dallas on Thursday.  First item on the list was to go swimming at Mama and Papa's club pool.  I was so excited for Mama to see what a great swimmer Pearce had become!  It was nice for Mama and I to be able to just sit and watch the little fishy :)  After swimming, we went to see Grandma.  She looked really good and was so happy to see us, and especially Pearce.  They played peek-a-boo and Pearce showed her some of his special tricks like somersaults and cartwheels.  Pearce was worn out that evening and was so comfy sleeping on Mama while we watched our shows :)  Friday afternoon, we headed to the lake!  Pearce couldn't wait for Ash and Nay Nay and Charlotte to get there, but it would be a bit later since they were coming after school.  Pearce got in some fishing, swimming, and tubing before they got there!  As soon as they arrived, the fun really began!  Pearce absolutely adores his cousins and they feel the same way about Pearce.  They had soooo much fun swimming and playing together.  Nay Nay is a tubing pro!  He wanted to ride on the tube every chance he got....didn't matter who it was with, or just by himself!  We would go out in the boat mid-morning and then come back around lunch time, then back out late afternoon.  One afternoon, we took the chill mat out on the lake and had fun playing on that.  Of course, we had to do s'mores a couple of nights.  Pearce had the good idea to tell spooky stories around the fire :)  Papa got us a couple new lake toys, too.....another kayak and an inflatable boat.  Oh my gosh....for the life of me, I could not master paddling that dang inflatable boat!  Ashley was in the kayak and eventually switched with me thinking it was just user error......um, yeah, she had trouble paddling it, too :)  Oh man, did we eat goo, too!  The first night, Papa cooked burgers on the and Mama made her yummy baked beans.  Saturday night was taco night....YUM!  Sunday night was fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and Mama's homemade chocolate pie.  SO GOOD!!!!!!  After dinner, the kids would go back to their room and play and then me, mom, and Ash would watch a movie together.  It was such a nice, relaxing lake weekend!  Pearce keeps asking when can we go back :)
