Just one week shy of Miss Lily's 1st birthday we went to Possum Kingdom Lake with Mimi and Papa. The 2-hour drive up there was pretty miserable for her (and us!!!), but once we got her on the boat it was smooth sailing. Lily loved watching Bubba do his tricks on the wake board and tube. She kept trying to climb to the back of the boat to get to him. At one point she climbed all the way back there just to try to take a nap...while the boat was crusin'! After a much needed nap and a good lunch, we headed back out on the water. Lily cheered and cooed as her Bubba flew all over the place on the tube. J is so good at all that!!! I was totally impressed:)~ Then, it was Lily's turn. I got on the tube with her while Papa pulled us very slowly back to the lake house. She absolutely loved it! When we got back to the dock, J came swimming to us and I got off of the tube. Not thinking, Lily rolled off the other side of it! I know, I know...someone should call CPS on this bad mom:( Anyway, Bubba was quick to the rescue and had her laughing in about 5 seconds. Whew!!! He (and we) calls himself a hero for his quick thinking:) We then swam for about 15 minutes before getting ready for the dreaded 2-hour miserable trip back home. Yep...it was a rough ride. Lily was not a happy camper, and everyone was exhausted. It's hard enough to go to the lake with all the work that goes into to it, but try it with a 1-year old! Yikes:) Needless to say she slept very well that night, but of course, her worry wart mom kept checking on her, worried about the whole "dry-drowing" thing that everyone is making a big deal about lately. But...We had a great time and look forward to going several more times before school starts again. Thanks Mimi & Papa!!!
