Wonderful Day at Lake George

Jim is heading to India for a business trip on Friday (if all the flights aren't cancelled) so he took the day off today and we spent it at the lake! It was so beautiful and we had so much fun. Sawyer was a little irritated about being in the car. That is a first for her. Rarely do we ever hear a complaint out of that kiddo in the car.

We mentioned to Sydney this morning that we were going to go to Lake George. Izzy dog heard us and started to get very antsy. She paced around like a crazy dog and generally got on our nerves. Jim opened the truck hatch and she jumped right in. She spent about an hour out there laying in the back of the truck in anticipation of heading up to the lake. Dumb dog!

As I mentioned above, Sawyer was very bored in the car ride this morning and made a little bit of a stink about it. She decided that taking her shoes off and chewing on her toes would be entertaining. At least it quieted her down a little.

Sydy was really tired after our long hike through the woods and her accidental swim in the bay! She wanted to put her feet in the water so I said no problem. She was in the water ankle deep and I was right there just at the edge of the water throwing sticks to the doggies. She was laughing at the dogs and jumping up and down. She fell forward in the freezing cold water and when I helped her up, she coughed and then said Yuck! It was hysterical and and even more so because she wanted to keep swimming. I told her no way in this cold water. I stripped her clothes and she hiked home in her Elmo undies!!!! Silly girl. Thankfully I had the smarts to roll up my sweat pants as I was standing near she and the dogs in the water. I wouldn't have been so happy hiking home in my undies!!!!!

Sydy's favorite thing to do at camp is to turn the radio on and dance to her music. She has such rhythm. Neither Jim nor I can dance, so we have no idea where she gets her dancing talent from. I am going to surprise her with dance lessons this summer. She is going to love it!

Dancing to the beat of cheesy 80's music.

Soybean helped Daddy build a fire. The house was colder than the outside temperature.

After Sydy's swim in the lake, I decided a bath was in order. Sawyer loved looking at her reflection in the bath fixture. So sweet.

So this is what a day at Lake George does to our babies. Not 5 minutes from camp and they were both sound asleep. I followed soon after!
