Fourth of July

We headed north to Laona for the Fourth of July weekend to celebrate with family and enjoy the beautiful weather. We drove up Thursday night and Lucy only managed to SCREAM for the last 30 minutes! Needless to say we couldn't wait to arrive. Lucy enjoyed swimming in the lake, riding on the boats and watching her cousins tube and ski. She even tried tubing herself but was very neutral about the whole experience, so thankfully I only had to tube briefly. Over the weekend she learned to new words "boat" and "dog" and let us know repeatedly that she was interested in seeing these things. She loved playing with and tackling my aunt and uncle's dog Brooke so much so that when she was on the pier, her petting led to an unexpected fall into the lake. I jumped in and got her out quickly with very few tears...hopefully that's the last time that happens! We went to the parade, played on the beach and had lots of dance parties too! It was a fantastic weekend!
