The Lake

This summer has been such a rewarding time for me to be able to hang out and watch Shannon change and grow.  It's amazing what a difference a year makes at this age. Last summer she was still an infant! At 17 months so many activities and events continue to be "firsts" and I am loving every minute. 

My friend Lisa invited us up to her parents lake house and we (I) graciously accepted!  Shannon had never been to a lake and I wasn't sure how she would respond to it all. Much to my surprise she loved it!  She cautiously, yet willingly, stepped into the water and never looked back!   Megan and Matthew, Lisa's niece and nephew, are old pros at this. Shannon seemed to take their lead, yet my independent little one did enough to keep herself busy and enjoy the water!  Later we had lunch by the beach, ate a delicious dinner Lisa's mom cooked, and went for a nice walk around the lakefront. Thanks Lisa- we had a great day and glad to share another great "first" with you!
