Memorial Day 2012

We had a good Memorial Day weekend! It was a lot easier this year with a two year old instead of a one year old. Gabs swam in the lake really well, went for two boat rides which she actually enjoyed for the first time, and went on a jet ski ride which she didn't like so much. She also discovered that she loves fishing! The afternoon we got there she found two dead fish floating on the shore and fell in love with them (eww). Nick got the fishing pole out and Gabi starting fishing with him. After a few casts out she caught this big bass! She was so excited! She pet the fish and then helped throw it back in the water. The next day I went out and got her a sparkly pink Dora fishing pole that got a LOT of use throughout the weekend. She caught about 20 fish over the next couple of days. Yep, Nick was busy :) It was nice that she was so interested in something that he could teach her and do with her.    Gabrielle didn't really remember the lake from last year (can't blame her) but it was kink of funny. We had to keep reminding her that we were sleeping there and that we could play more there tomorrow. By Monday morning she was ready to go home, though, so that worked out. The first thing she said when she got to the lake on Friday was "that's so beauuu-ful!!!!!" when she saw the lake. It was usuallyl called a pond or an ocean; not a lake. That's ok. Gabs slept in a twin bed with rails around it and did very well.  She also had her first s'more which surprisingly she didn't really care for.  She'd rather had plain marshmellows.  Oh well.  I am 17 weeks and Corinne is 36 weeks pregnant so we weren't too exciting other than me eating a lot of cereal and her eating a lot of chili.  Overall, we had a really nice weekend with family and friends.
