The lake really can be relaxing...

...even with two small children! This was the discovery I made last weekend when we went down to the lake. To be completely honest, I was beginning to think that the lake just wasn't relaxing anymore and that it probably wouldn't be for another few years, which is fine because we have fun regardless. But last week I discovered that the lake really can be relaxing, and we had a really great time!

Now the trip didn't get off to a great start! We were about 1.5 hours into our drive down on Friday night when we got a call from Scott's brother Craig saying that his car had broken down on the way. It was the first time in more than two years that Uncle Craig, Shawn and their dog Leeroy were going to be able to come to the lake and since his car broke down they weren't able to make it. It was very sad for all of us since we were really looking forward to it, but we understood that he wanted to stay in KC to make sure his car got all fixed up before the work week started. Hopefully we will be able to plan another trip down with them soon! We sure did miss them! Here are some pics from our weekend!

Hadley drawing a hopscotch court...one of her favorite games!

Practice makes perfect!Seville wanted to give it a try too...in her true "I can do anything sissy can do" fashion!
Lipstick anyone?
Seville and Grandpa Jim!
Hadley and Scott on the Sea-Doo!
Hadley was letting Scott do donuts with her! So brave!
Sweet girl!
She just loves the lake!
What a doll!
Another pretty shot! Seville's very first Sea-Doo ride! She loved it!
Hadley and Grandma Sue Sue on a more relaxing "girly" ride! (as compared to daddy's rides!)
Seville and Mommy...I know, you were probably beginning to think I didn't exist since I am never in any pictures, but that is because I am ALWAYS behind the camera!
Me and my girls! I cannot tell you the last time I got my picture taken with both of my girls...when we weren't paying a professional to take it!
Playing ring around the rosie! We finally found a way to keep Seville happy and her head dry in the water. Wings PLUS a little inflatable ring! She loves the water, but she loves it so much that we have a hard time keeping her head dry and since she has tubes that is important. This worked perfect and she was sooooo happy! If we try baby rafts she just climbs right out because she wants to be big like sissy!
"Hi Daddy! We love you!"

Seville and Kissers (the giraffe from Gail...her favorite!)
Hadley and Grandma Sue Sue in the tube!
Seville took another tube ride this weekend and cracked up the whole time! Look at her face!
All the girls riding the tube!
