lake trip // part two

tuesday

First off, I could watch Heidi and her Daddy play all day lonnng. It makes me the happiest Momma in the world seeing these two love the way they do. It melts my heart. The older she gets the more of a Daddy's girl she becomes. 

I think these pics have become my favorites of them, ever! 

John Thomas took his very first boat ride. He didn't show a ton of emotion, per usual. But I think I spy a thumbs up, so I'd say he liked it!? 

they look the same size here.. crazy

The weather was PERFECT the rest of the week. We had tons of fun on the water.

The babies took a nice long afternoon nap, which meant Mommy+Daddy time. 

We sure needed it.

On Wednesday we packed up and headed south. Just a tad south, to his parents house. 

We stretched out for a bit and chowed down on lots of pizza. We played with family and got ready for the final stretch home to Tennessee. 

You can find me in the back seat. Believe it or not, I still had to bend over backwards to nurse this little fella a few times. 

back cramps galore.. carseat nursing for the win. 

we finally arrived to Dee and Papa's for the evening, time to play + run.

you know it's summer when you're drinking from a hose, barefoot! 

There is a happy face boy! He loves to be outside. Especially being pushed around in a wagon.

Thursday came, and we headed back to the car for a bitter 10 hour drive home! 

I felt it was necessary to wear my HOME Y'ALL shirt back to TN. 

life at the lake is good, but 

it's great to be home.

lake trip//part one

What a week it has been.. Life at the lake has been f u n ! We have had several sleepless nights (teething child of mine), endless amounts of bug spray, a whole lotta sunscreen applications and an abundance of late night s'more roastin'. My children have just about overdosed on s'mores, and so have I! 

ignore the wind blown boat hair above. i think i washed it twice this entire week. 

Shhh... just a tad gross. 

We have had so much fun with family. We don't see them often, so the kiddos routine has been pretty much thrown out the window for the week. So many mixed feelings about routine. But for now it'll have to do. It took a little bit of time to adjust to the new time zone for the babes. Not to mention it's still light out at 9 pm on the lake. Who wants bedtime with all that going on?! 

So we arrived on Saturday evening and all we did was eat and play.

On Sunday the weather was crummy and cold so we ventured downtown Marquette for the day. 

It had the best views, surrounded by the lake. Such a neat little city. We took the kids to a children's museum for the morning. They needed to burn some major energy after being trapped in the car for over 14 hours the days before.  

a little pink bench makes the perfect photo opp. 

 The rest of the day was spent watching boats and shopping around the local shops. Including a yummy candy shop where we purchased some fresh taffy (that I'm currently snacking on as I blog about it). 

So close to walking. Come on little man!

On Monday we had better weather. To the paddle boats we went. The littles really hated 
lifejackets.

They looked like cute little mummy's when we strapped them on, they could hardly move. 

We stayed pretty close to the shore not knowing how they would do.. Their reactions were 

so hysterical. Really looking like little twins here lately.
