Summer is in full swing at our house and Cade is loving it! He loves to play outside no matter the weather, but now that everyone else wants to be out there too, he’s in hog heaven!
Last weekend for Memorial Day we went to Lake Eufala with Lacey and Steven. We stayed in Steven’s parents cabin. Everyone was so nice and made us feel welcome. Cade had so much fun. He made a friend named Gavin. Gavin and Cade played almost the whole weekend. They played in the sandbox and ran around like crazy. Cade also went on his first boat ride. I think he liked it even though he fell asleep about 10 minutes into it! He also found a turtle. He carried that thing all around for about 2 hours until I finally made him let it go. (He was being so rough on it; I was so afraid that he was going to kill it from dropping it down the rocks over and over again.) Most of the group we were with were fisherman. They had caught enough fish by Sunday night for a fish fry. So, Cade got to watch Steven’s dad, Keith, clean the fish. I think he liked watching it even though he made some funny faces and let out a gasp or two! :o)
This past weekend we were finally able to get in the pool. Lucas smoked a brisket Saturday night and invited some friends and family over. Everyone swam and the adults played washers. Cade wore some of those arm floaties in the pool. It made him so much more confident in the water. Now he wants to swim all by himself and doesn’t want the adults holding onto him. He and Marti swam and swam until their little fingers looked like prunes!
Lucas, Cade and I were back in the pool Sunday afternoon. Cade has lots of fun playing with us in the water and Lucas and I enjoyed being able to relax.
I can officially say that Cade is a water baby because he was begging to go swimming last night! I think he’s already counting down the days til the weekend!
In other news… I started school at SNU last Tuesday. Basically they just issued our books, computers, had us fill out paperwork, etc. They gave us our first week’s homework assignment and sent us on our way. Tonight is the first night that we have actual class. I’ll be completely done on July 27, 2010! Woohoo! Lucas will be done this November. It’s hard to believe that in just a little more than a year Lucas and I will both be college grads. We’ve waited so long and worked so hard, it feels good to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Check out the slideshow below that his pics from the last couple of weekends. Happy Summer!
