Sea Legs

Carly discovered her sea legs today (or really her lake legs). After her nap we ventured out on the water to meet some friends. I packed a cooler and had plenty of snacks in hoping to entertain her long enough on the boat for Dave and I to each take a swim and have some adult conversation. However, we learned quite quickly that I did not need the food as a treat. After putting on her swim diaper and bathing suit bottom she got in her new inflatable raft and had a BLAST floating around the water visiting different groups of friends. After a nice long while she began requesting to get out of her raft and onto one of the two tubes that the older kids were wrestling and jumping off of. Thankfully, these kids were understanding and enjoyed sitting with her on the raft and later spotting her as she stood and balanced herself on the tube.

Eventually she did want to come out of the water for a snack and to visit with those on the boats we rafted up with. Thankfully while walking on various boats Carly was very steady on her feet. But before we headed home, she did go back out in her raft and on the older children's tubes. We arrived home four hours after our departure with a very hungry and happy little girl.
