Camping Weekend

We have had quite the fun and busy weekend. On Saturday we went to Mark's friends house for their annual party. We went really early and didn't get to see as many people as possible, but Mark got to catch up with a few of his friends and Jack got to play outside. We then tried to find someone who would be home that night so we could go visit with them and decided to head up to see Mark's mom, Cliff and some of Cliff's family in Chateguay Lake.

Cliff's aunt Norma and uncle Larry have a beautiful camp on the lake and a pontoon boat that all of us were able to go out on. Jack also had a playmate, Ryan, who is only three months older than him. We went out on the boat as soon as we got there around 6 because the sun was out and since that only happens once a week we figured we'd better take advantage of it. Jack wasn't overly excited about wearing a life jacket, but he soon got used to it and began really enjoying the boat.

We also stopped at a little beach where the boys could get out and play in the sand and water. Jack had a chance to take the life jacket off, which he was very excited about, and played in the water. Again, he loved it and seemed to really be enjoying himself. He had so much fun that I think he forgot about dinner and didn't eat until about 8:00. This meant he and Ryan stayed up WAY past their bedtimes and didn't get to bed until 9:30. You'd think with them going to bed so late they would wake up later, but no, both of them were up by 6:15. Needless to say I am exhausted tonight.

So today we went out on the boat again, had two wonderful meals, played, and took a couple naps. Jack really enjoyed playing with Ryan and being somewhere new. I'll post a few more pictures of our weekend below.

I apologize for not being as witty as I usually am, my mind is half-asleep right now. Hopefully the next post I'll be back to my old self.

We just found out Uncle Justin is coming home tomorrow for a few days so I'll make sure to take lots of pictures of him and Jack together and update you on his visit with us. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
