Memorial Day Weekend

Every year for Memorial Day, Colin and I go to the lake to visit with my parents. Last year, our sweet Abigail joined us in our fun tradition for the first time. Last year was very special and this trip was definitely one of our favorites. It was SO awesome! We all had a blast!!!

               Snackin while getting her baby suit on (That's what I called it when I was younger. Haha!)

As soon as we arrived, we could tell Abigail was so excited to be somewhere new and different. It was a whole new place to explore. And boy did she! We don't think there was a spot in (or out of) the house untouched by Abadabs' chubby little hands:-) After a delicious lunch, we headed down to the water. Abigail started crying when we got in the car because she was having so much fun at the house, she didn't want to leave! Luckily she was super happy when she arrived at the pavilion. MORE fun things to explore!!!

Exciting news....Abigail said Dada for the first time!!! Yay!!!! Made all of us melt:-)

We weren't really sure what to expect at the lake. Last year, Abigail wasn't old enough to play in/near the water so she pretty much stayed in her baby pool or on the deck. As soon as we set our chairs down, Abigail made a bee line for the lake. There are three steps that lead down to the water...Abigail started making her way down. Unfortunately, her incision is still open so she couldn't go fully in the water... otherwise, we think she would have taken a dive right in! Of course she wanted to go into the lake that has goodness know what in it, but a baby pool filled with purified water that she could go in??? No thanks! Ha!

After lunch on Saturday (the day we got there), we took Abigail down to the lake for just bit. We didn't bother putting on her bathing suit because she was going to be taking a nap in just a few minutes. Apparently that didn't stop this little girl from getting in the water!

Nana bought Abigail some cute stackable cups and little floaty animals that Abigail LOVED! Abigail had such a fun time playing on the bottom step with her toys. She REALLY wanted to get in the water, so eventually Colin held her and went in the water so that her incision didn't get wet. She seemed to love it!

                                                                    Having a blast with her cups!

Hanging with Nana. If you look at her mouth, you can see she's saying "hot"! So cute!

Loving this bathing suit Nana got for her! It covers her scar perfectly. Adorable and functional!

Fun with Daddy:-)

Of course you have to blow bubbles at the lake!

Awwww........

Love this picture! You can see them all laughing and having a good 'ol time!

 We always eat delicious food while we're at the lake. This time was no exception. Nana and G-dad fixed us a yummy seafood feast on Saturday night. One of our favorites!!! On Sunday, Colin and I fixed some burgers and then we celebrated Nana's birthday with a decadent chocolate cake. We also whipped up our traditional, big breakfast feast with Mimosas, of course!

G-dad made this rock bed where one of his outdoor games go...Abigail LOVED it! All those rocks!!!

G-dad and Colin grilled up some breakfast for us. Yum!

This girl spent lots of time in these rocks!

The lake was so fun and relaxing. It was a perfect vacation! We were so sad to leave! Thank you so much for having us, Nana and G-dad!!! We can't wait to come back!!!
