Lake Wedowee- PART 1

DSC_0579-1

As usual, we had a wonderful week at Grant’s parent’s lakehouse!  Since our group has grown quite a bit over the last few years, they rented an extra condo right across the street.  It’s always so fun spending the week playing with family!

Unfortunately, we made the horrible mistake of taking Olivia on an alligator swamp tour right before we arrived, so she was terrified that alligators were in the water.  She did NOT like swimming in the lake or going on the jet skis, but was happy on the boat, on the tubes, or in the pool.

The kids put on an impromptu talent show one night.  Olivia  wore the tutu dress Grandma had given here, and she was ready for some ballet demos.

Maddie loved being on the boat and in the water, but absolutely HATED her life jacket.  I don’t blame her!

Cute Nate and Olivia—3 weeks apart.

Grant finally convinced Olivia to jump in the lake, and she swore to never ever do it again.

We spent our evenings playing games and hanging out outside.  The kids loved eating popsicles and making s’mores.

The go-cart was a huge hit too!

One evening, the kids played baseball.  I’m sad to admit that my daughter was the only one who had never held a bat or tried to swing at a ball.  It was pretty funny to watch!

Grant tried to help her and she got so mad, so turned around and hit him with the plastic bat!!!  She got in BIG trouble, but it was SO funny to watch.  She has since gotten a pink  t-ball set, and is doing a million times better.

One of Olivia’s favorite things about the lake is rides on the golf cart.  She even fell off once (ahem…I’m pretty sure Spencer was driving!) :) but she didn’t even mind!
