Labor Day weekend

I'm kind of going a little out of order here, but I wanted to get pictures of their first day of school up while it was still relevant :)

Aunt K came to visit us over the labor day weekend and we had a great time. On Sunday, we rented a pontoon boat and spent all day out on the lake. It was heavenly! The weather couldn't have been more perfect (even a little chilly at the start) and we couldn't have asked for a better day.

We spent the first hour or so cruising around. Daddy even let his little helpers drive the boat.

After cruising around for a bit, we "beached" the boat on a little cove for the afternoon. Miss C had a great time splashing around the water and Little J was comfortable spending the time building sand castles on the shore. After lunch, we cruised around a little more and then anchored the boat in the water so Goomps could fish for a little bit. Miss C and Little J spent that time jumping off the boat and swimming to the ladder.....they loved it. I was surprised that they did it, considering we weren't in the water "catching" them. I think swimming lessons this summer have really paid off. They seem to be a lot more confident in the water.
