The Lake

I say this all the time, but Chase never ceases to amaze me.  We took a last minute trip to my aunt and uncle's lake house a couple of weekends ago, in Alabama.  My boys had never been to the lake/river, never been on or around a boat, and I wasn't really sure what to expect.  I wasn't THAT nervous because my sister was going and my parents were meeting us there so I knew Chase would at least feel comfortable with familiar faces around.  I was more nervous about how he would react to being on a boat or waverunner and how he would do swimming in the lake where he couldn't see the bottom.

Well, I did NOT need to worry about any of it because he LOVED it all!  We got there around 6pm and he went straight down to the dock to the water wanting to get in.  And he did!  He jumped right off that dock, swam around to the steps and did it over and over again!

He was not scared at all to ride the boat of the wave runner either.  He was a little nervous, gripping us tightly at first, but once we got going he loved it! :)  (Miles, on the other hand, was a different story)

The 4-wheeler was BY FAR, Chase's favorite thing about the weekend!!!  He wanted to ride every waking minute! haha!  I think every person there took him on at least one ride.  

I am so thankful we had the opportunity to expose the boys to such a fun experience, especially since I grew up at the lake with my family from the time I was born through college.  It was such a neat and awesome experience to watch our kids experience things for the first time and see the excitement and joy on their faces!  Not only that, but to spend time with family who we don't see very often was a treat itself!
