Lake Fun

What a fun weekend! We had a great time with our friends in town. Handley and Marlee had a lot of fun playing together. Handley was so excited to have a constant friend for 5 days and I think she's a little lonely now that they are gone! It was really interesting for us to observe the personality differences between Marlee and Handley. Handley is very outgoing and is a dare-devil while Marlee is a little more shy and cautious.

Friday morning we spent the morning at Kangazoom together and headed up to the lake on Friday afternoon. The girls weren't thrilled about sitting in traffic and making the 2+ hour drive up there, but once we got them both out of the car seats when we arrived, they had a blast. I pulled out the water table and we didn't even bother changing them into their bathing suits. They were both soaked, but didn't care. They also enjoyed cocktail hour out on the deck.

Most of the day Saturday was spent on the boat. The weather was okay, but we were able to find some sun for at least part of the day. We went to the famous jumping rock so Robby and Corey to both jump.

Handley and Marlee were happy when we took a break for a snack.

Saturday afternoon we went wake-boarding with some other friends and Robby hurt his knee. We pulled back to get him and when he wasn't swimming to get in the boat we knew something was wrong. I won't go into gory details, but he said his knee did something that is not normal and no knee should ever do. His whole leg is swollen and he can't put any pressure on it. We got to see an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow afternoon. Needless to say, he spent the rest of the weekend with his leg propped up and ice on it.

He was able to hobble down to the boat on Sunday to take us on a boat ride. Corey wake-boarded a little more on Sunday and I just love this picture of Kathy and Marlee watching him!

Handley showed Marlee a few things while they were here, some good, like the joy of eating a "pop-pop" (popsicle) and some not so good, like teaching her how to take off her snack-trap lid.

We had a great time and miss you guys already! Can't wait until our next visit together.
