Memorial Day Weekend

As usual, we went up to Paya Lake for Memorial weekend. And as usual also, the weather wasn't the greatest. At least not for the first part of the weekend. Luckily we were able to check out the water a few times when it wasn't raining.
It was Quinn's first time at the cottage since last year, of which she obviously doesn't remember anything. And now she is walking too. A completely different ballgame for us parents. First time she walked up to the beach, she headed straight for the water and didn't stop when her feet were in it. We have to keep a very close watch on her out there, that's for sure! 

We put her lifejacket on when we went for a boatride around the lake. She wasn't too happy about that, but this is not up for discussion of course. It's tempting to just hold her and let her sit without it, but once you start doing that, she will never want to wear it again.
A little distraction (the radio buttons) made her forget about her life jacket.

On Memorial Day itself we headed back home in the morning, since the weather didn't seem very promising yet. Grandpa and grandma came with us and Ryan and grandpa put the swingset up in the yard. As it got to the afternoon, the sun came out and it actually got pretty hot and humid. A pretty nice day after all. But well, we were glad we changed our plans and got the swingset up and running.

Let's try out the slide first.
I guess her face says it all! She loves the swing.
