Lake Fun!

Pearce and I got to spend last week at the lake and it was sooooo fun and relaxing!  Papa just got his new ski boat, so I was excited for Pearce to get to ride on it and tube...and I was excited to see if I remembered how to ski!  Mama and Papa also got a few new lake toys....Big Bertha tube, kayak, and the chill mat.  As soon as we got there, Pearce was ready to get his suit on and jump in!  He really had no fear jumping off the dock into the lake!  Pearce and I swam for a while then we all got in the boat to take it out and try out tubing.  At first, Pearce was a little unsure about the tube, but after a couple rides, that's all he wanted to do.  It took until the last day to convince him to try a tube ride all by himself, but he did it and we were all proud of him.  I really had a lot of fun tubing with Pearce and of course, jumping off the boat and swimming in the lake is always fun.  I was really proud of myself for remembering how to slalom.....and getting up on the first try every time!  It was just so much fun to wake up at the lake, take it easy during the morning and fish or play outside on the new tire swing, swim when we wanted to and then take the boat out.  Every single boat ride, Pearce always ended up falling asleep :)  We would tube and ski and swim and then finish it off by boating around the lake to look at the houses.  It never failed that Pearce would ask me to cover him up and then he would snooze :)  I caught so many fish, too!  Pearce liked to just cast his rod and play with the worms this time.  He decided he wanted to be my assistant :)  He would bring me a worm when I needed one and would run and get the net when I caught something big like a catfish or a bass!  I caught several catfish and one bass and a ton of sunfish :)  We saved a bunch of them our last day and Papa was able to clean those and keep them for a fish fry the next time we come.  Of course, we made lots of s'mores one night which was really fun.  One afternoon, we took a break from the water and went into town to take Pearce to see "Finding Dory."  We all LOVED the movie, so that was really fun!  I just love being at the lake and I love that Pearce loves it too!  Can't wait for our next visit, Mama and Papa!!
