Our trip to the Lake

This past weekend, we flew up to Canandaigua, NY to spend time with Jeff's parents and grandparents. His grandparents have a summer house on the lake and Jeff has so many fond childhood memories there. So we were very excited about seeing this beloved place through the eyes of our little ones. Warning: lots of pictures below...may only be of interest to family members :)

For the first two days, we had gorgeous weather. Bright sun and perfect temperatures. We made sure to get all of our boating in while we could!

Excited but nervous about her first boat ride

She insisted on riding in someone's lap when we went fast

She was thrilled to be "driving" the boat.

The kids also loved playing on the dock and the "beach."

Ethan wasn't too thrilled at the idea of getting wet--he went to
great lengths to keep his feet out of the water!

And of course, we enjoyed a lot of quality family time!

While we were there, a cold front moved in and created some windy and chilly weather. Fortunately, Mimi and Papa had the foresight to bring some toys with them from NJ, so the kids were easily entertained inside.

The weather didn't deter the kids at all!
