Lake Whitney

Ah the best laid plans - the original idea was a three day weekend at the beach in Lala Land for Rob, the kids and me. But Lala had midterms, so we changed to location to Lake Whitney to stay with my parents. Then one of Rob's clients scheduled a major software install for the weekend we were due to leave so that left me & the kids. I braved the 4 hour drive and off we went. It was worth it.

Friday afternoon was rainy. Laney was desperate to go for a walk so my parents took her and her umbrella for a walk (while I got a short nap)
Saturday we headed to the pool - how cute are these two!

Laney did not like the pool at first. After quite some time we finally got her out in the deeper part of the pool paddling around and playing with the splash balls. Alex, on the other hand, took to the water immediately. He thought it was fantastic and splashed more than he ever has before.

Saturday evening my parents took Laney out in the red boat aka the canoe. Laney has been curious about the canoe sent it spent several days in our backyard about a year ago.

Off they go!

We went back to the pool on Sunday before we left for home. Laney actually took off on her own a few times. The noodle keeps her life jacket from flipping her backwards (which it is designed r.to do for emergencies) and helps her navigate in the water.

The pool got to be a little much for my little mister and he crashed in a chaise lounge.

The following Sunday we took Daddy to the pool in our neighborhoood so he could see the Elena swim and Alex splash.
