We have had a wonderful summer at the lake. Summer has absolutely flown by- I cant believe it's nearly over! We have gotten into our routine of driving out to the cabin on Fridays, and then coming back Sunday evenings. The weekends always fly by with lots of company, and we feel very fortunate that all of the cousins play so well together. Sophie will be very sad to not see them every weekend.
Sophie and Elly became quite the team this summer and watched a movie (usually Barbie) every night while we got dinner ready. They were very good about taking turns picking out the movie, and would even remember from week to week whose turn it was.
Sophie and Elly played a lot with rocks. Rocks at the lake have never been so clean.
Sophie became quite brave in the water this summer. She had no fear, and couldn't care less about how cold it was. She would simply jump in, and stay in, for several hours at a time. I usually had to drag her out of the lake for juice and snack breaks.
Sophie also was quite the tuber this summer. She now likes to tube several times a day. We have tried hard to get her interested in skiing on the trainers, but she keeps telling us that she,"will ski when it snows," or "When I am five." We'll see if this happens.
Cade loves the lake as well. He is our little water baby. Unlike Sophie, who didn't put a toe into the water till she was three, Cade jumps in without any worry. The cold seems to have no effect on him, and I usually take him out when his little lips turn blue.
Some of Cade's favorite lake activites- splashing in the water (and eating rocks).
Cade likes to swim in the lake as well, he kicks his little legs in a frog kick and will doggy paddle his little arms. He loves to be in the water- he's a natural. I cant wait to see what next summer at the lake brings!
