Lake fun with the Mills

Our good friends for Florida came to visit us this weekend and we had so much fun!  They were here from Wednesday to Sunday and we spent the majority of the time at the lake.  Kathy and Corey have two little girls, Marlee (3) and Lilah (8 months).  It was great to see all the kids playing together so well.  Handley and Marlee got to have sleep overs together each night and enjoyed playing dress-up, and swimming together.  We spent time at the waterfall, went to a few beaches to play in the sand, swam, rode on the tube, grilled out, and relaxed on the deck. It was a great weekend with GREAT friends!

Harper wanted so badly to play with the big girls.  Usually Handley and Harper play so well together, but when Handley had someone her own age around she wanted nothing to do with Harper.  Harper would run to keep up with them only to have the door closed in her face.  She did get to play pretend at the princess ball a few times when I told Handley that Harper could be their prince.  Harper enjoyed seeing Lilah and having someone smaller than her.  She would constantly bring her toys to share and loved touching her head and trying to put her fingers in Lilah's mouth. 

One evening we took a boat ride to the Tiki Bar restaurant which is on the water.  We sat right by the stage used for bands and performances and since there was no one there the girls played and danced over there after they finished eating. One of the best things about the Tiki Bar is that the manager usually brings out a big basket of toys for the kids to play with while we eat.  Also, there is a blue tractor they get to sit on and we save our left overs to feed the ducks and fish that hang out around the dock.  It was a feeding frenzy that night and there were lots of happy ducks and fish!
