Family Lake Day 2015

 

I was worried about how Karsten would do, since we left our house at 9ish and knew she most likely wouldn’t get a morning nap. She did awesome and for the most part, smiled all day long. I think she had fun. 🙂

Those curls. I heart them so much.

See? She’s not having any fun at all.

And more paddle boarding.  We spent time with family that we don’t get to see very often, and in typical Kate fashion, nobody was a stranger. She made herself right at home with everyone.  We had two boats for the day, and Kate purposefully chose to be on whatever boat Kevin and I were NOT on.

After lunch, Karsten took a good nap in a pack-n-play that we’d set up in the house. And then she was back at it for boating.  She was still tired, so she kicked back most of the afternoon and didn’t mind to be held.

We headed over to the big rock wall where everyone jumps off.  As we drove up to it, some of the guys in my family swam over.  They climbed off and jumped off of the rock, which was probably 30ish feet high, maybe higher.  Kate saw what they were doing and immediately started yelling at me “I’m a good jumper Mommy.  I’m a GREAT jumper. I’m a GOOD jumper.”, thinking that we would let her go jump off the rock.  My little daredevil.

We did let her jump off a slightly smaller rock. 🙂

You can’t really tell it, but she is arguing with Kevin in this picture, because she wants to go up higher, where Joe and Christopher are.  She wasn’t happy jumping off of her little rock.
