The Lake

We met the cousins yesterday at Greenbrier State Park for a day of beach-lake fun.  

The boys had a blast!  

Nona came too, which made it an extra special day.

 

After a few shaky first steps on the beach, Luca decided he was a fan!!

David dove right into the lake and was swimming like a fish.

Ellie was awesome with Luca.  

She played with him almost the whole time.

Carrying bucketfuls of water from the lake for him to splash in.

And Xan was in the water, one way or another, pretty much the whole time.

He was in tears when we had to leave.  

He fell asleep in the car on the way home...he woke up as we pulled up to the house

and said, "in fact, I miss the cousins".

Two peas in a pod.

During the school year we don't get much cousin time.  

Now that it's summertime, we're looking forward to many more days like these!!

Note to self....not laying out does not equal not getting sun.  

I have a crunchy burned back to prove it.

Burns used to "hurt so good", now they just "hurt so irresponsibly".  Aging. :)
