Labor Day

What an enjoyable four-day weekend! It was a blast to have a fun with our Daddy on his day off. We went to the lake with some friends of ours and played until we were exhausted. Tate is quite the water baby and loved his time in the water. He would have splashed in the water all day long. I took him out and set him down by me and he proceeded to army crawl right back to the water. He didn't like me trying to take him out of the water.

Bentli loves the water, as long as she is clinging to your neck. As the day went on she warmed up to it and became more and more brave. She wasn't very happy with me when I made her ride on the tube with me, but by the end of the ride she was loving it! She decided that this was indeed fun like I had been promising her and was confident enough to wave to Daddy as we drove by. After her turn was over she ran up to her dad and exclaimed, "Dad! I went on the tube, it was fun! I'm brave!"

Wow! Bentli IS brave!! What a good way to build her self confidence. I'm not sure Naomi would go for that.

Everyone is taking their kids to lakes and rivers. Marcus and I need to try that soon. It looks like fun. Glad you had a relaxing three day weekend. I wish there were more of them...
