Today...
We drove to the lake after Bryan and I each went for separate runs and Jenna had cleaned out Silkie Baby's cage.
It's been over two months since we've been to the lake. It's been too long since Pop felt like going to the Lake.
But Today...
We ate ham sandwiches at the campground, then loaded up on the pontoon boat. We pontoon-surfed (and Pop knocked me and the girls down several times). The six of us dove in for a swim. We floated and laughed, flopped noodles around, blew into the noodles like spouts, and assured and re-assured the kids about sharks, alligators, and snakes.
We took a swim break and all laid down on the boat. "This is so peaceful," Caroline said.
Me, Bryan and the girls got back in for another dip. The grandparents took a nap on the boat. The four of us in the water made a family "sandwich," all hugging each other, laughing and smiling, cheeks to cheeks.
We drove the boat back to the campground in the sun, the peace, the beauty and the happiness of everybody being together.
Pop said it was "outstanding" that we came today.
We hugged goodbye to the Grandparents and I read Pinky Pye on the drive home. Jenna was unable to eat her Wendy's chicken wrap because, well, it just hits too close to home nowadays to bite into a chicken breast. :)
Oh...and Bryan and Jenna played with the Panoramic function on the phone. Here's some cool ones:
