My poor husband. He has been working his tail off this summer! I feel so bad that he goes and works for 8-10 hours a day and then comes home and works on our house for another few hours.
With that in mind I have been trying hard to figure out ways to help him get a few hours of summer. The other day after another three day weekend of working on the house I insisted that we make time to go to the lake. We only managed to get away for an hour but it was just the medicine we needed to give Daddy a little break.
We worked hard all afternoon, with the help of both our dads, and then packed a picnic dinner and headed out.
It had been hot that day…in the 90’s which felt super hot after our very mild summer so as soon as we got there everyone was in the water. S on the bottom left, T the speck in the middle, and K on the middle right.
The water was cold at first but T and I quickly warmed up to it. The girls were another story. K stayed in the water but both of them got so cold they were blue and shaking. K desperately wanted to be in this picture but had to clamp her lips shut to keep them from chattering. Boo’s little body didn’t stop shaking until we had her dried out and in the car.
We live in such a pretty place. Love that view.
Bug has been getting braver about the water. She will actually float in her life jacket without clutching on to any and all available limbs. With the life jacket AND the baby floaty she is a swimming machine! The phrase that goes with this face is “dog paddle! dog paddle! I can do it! dog paddle!”
But she definitely likes a helping hand whenever possible.
What a perfect hour of summer. Hopefully we can sneak in a few more before our fall weather sets in!
