Fun at the Lake
Dad here.
This past weekend was our annual camping/cabin weekend with Gena's family. We stay at a little cabin in the Brainerd lakes area that's owned by Missy's aunt and uncle.
On Friday we had perfect weather. Chad brought his boat up so in the afternoon we went for a boat ride and took turns tubing. Zoe went for the ride with us; I was a bit worried about taking her on the boat with us but she was very content to sit on my lap and watch people on the tube.
Chad and Missy brought up an inflatable baby tube and Gena wanted to give it a try. I was pretty sure that Zoe wouldn't go for it based on her previous try at the swimming pool. We waded out in to the lake and dropped her in the tube and she leaned back and smiled and looked quite relaxed. So Gena and I just sat down nearby. Moments later Zoe realized that she could put her feet on the lake bottom. Once she figured that out it was just seconds before she realized she could walk. She had a blast walking all over the shallow section of the lake. At first she would just walk circles around me and Gena but eventually she got bold and would wander away from us and we'd have to track her down.
Saturday's weather wasn't nearly as good so we spent most of the day inside but Zoe had a lot of fun with her cousins. They're all very sweet to her and she enjoys being in a crowd. She was very good for us all weekend and we had so much fun with her.
This Friday we'll head out to Montana for my grandma's 80th birthday. I'm sure everyone will be excited to see Zoe and she will be excited to see all of them.
