Labor Day

We headed up to Pine Mountain Lake this weekend on Friday night. We started the trek around 5pm. My mom and my stepdad were meeting us up there for a little fun on the lake. My mom loves the lake and was excited to swim with Gavin. Since there was traffic on their side, we were able to meet up with them in Snelling and they followed us up to the house through Red Hills and down the crazy driveway. We got to Steve's parents house around 10pm. Gavin stayed up until almost 11:30 and still had to wake up at 5:45. Ugh. Luckily he fell back to sleep until about 7am.

We had a great time playing in the water on Saturday. The lake was a bit cold but Gavin was swimming with Nanny (he calls Nana "Nanny" now). Steve did the water skipper again as usual and probably burned way too many calories. Saturday Gavin watched the Incredibles for the 100th time and turned into Dash that night. He ran around the sofa saying "I'm Dash... from the creda-bulls. I am Incredi boy". It was pretty funny.


Sunday Steve's parents left for LA and my mom and Steve (stepdad) left around 2pm. So we had the place to ourselves for a day. It was nice and peaceful and fun to be up at the lake with just us. We had fun watching the bats eat the bugs off the top of the lake water on Sunday night after dinner. I was a little creeped out but stuck it out for the team. Steve and I each had a nice morning solo kayak on Monday morning while Gavin played around the dock. It was too cold to get back in the water. I wish it was a little warmer. Gavin liked to feed the dragons the snorkle and masks (don't ask me... i guess it is imagination time). He didn't want to go in the kayak with us so we left it up there for another summer.

We treked back home on Monday afternoon and Gavin slept almost the whole way (yeah!). He watched Incredibles about 3 times (it is a long drive) and I have officially memorized the good lines in that movie. We got home in time to hang out a little and unpack. I checked email when I got home and Gavin wanted to use the computer. So I remembered Uncle Dave got him a kid computer for Xmas last year so we pulled that out. He loves playing with his "pooter". Gotta love it!
