1st Day At the Lake

On the dock, ready to dive in!
Wading deeper and deeper.
Happy as a Clam.
Playing in the sand/water. Alden loved it when Samantha would fling up some sand/water and hit him in the stomach/head.
Entertaining Alden on the kitchen table...Great-Grandma McKnight, Jodi & Jamie.

After the bike ride, we went home and took naps and showers before heading out to Doug's parent's house for a little fun at the lake and to celebrate Doug's mom's birthday and Debra's birthday and father's day with the McKnights. It was Alden's 1st time in the lake and to say he loved it was an understatement!! He loved to splash the water and put the sand toys in his mouth. (I don't know if he liked the "lake" taste on the toys, or if it was just because he is teething?) Samantha had fun too. She dug in the sand with her toys and even waded out in the water pretty far, eventhough the water was pretty cold due to all the rain we've had. The lake was also really high (actually, it's about back to where it was a long time ago when they moved to Copper Dollar Cove), so it made it easier for Samantha and Alden to play in the water and the sand.

Jodi cooked supper for everyone and it was delicious! Thanks Jodi! We also had an ice cream cake and a jello cake after supper. Scott & Debbie were there, along with Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa Mcknight, Jodi, Jamie, Grandma McKnight, Grandpa McKnight, Auntie Debra & Uncle Greg.
