I need to backtrack a little bit. We had a fun July 4th weekend up in Hickory: some friends from church have an annual 4th of July party at their house on the lake. A nasty storm came through, so I was worried Lincoln wouldn't get to play in the water. Eventually, the weather cleared and he and Dave made it in the lake. They jumped on the trampoline and got to ride in Jeremy's boat. I still am hearing about the boat! I guess he got to beep the horn twice and help drive the boat, so he was in heaven. It wasn't pretty when the boat ride ended.
I am so used to being busy, it made me sad to look at my blank calendar for the month of July. When mom mentioned she was thinking about going to New Jersey to visit relatives, I jumped at the chance for a roadtrip: I know I am absolutely insane! Mom and I packed up the boys early Saturday morning and started out for the 10 hour car drive. I was shocked at how well both boys did! Drake maybe cried for 20 minutes the entire way, and Lincoln was entertained by the ipad and dvd player. We stopped at Roadside America, a model train exhibit we used to visit when I was a kid. Of course Lincoln loved it! We got inside the room with all the trains, and he just kept repeating, "WOW."
We had so many water adventures up in New Jersey. My grandma and uncle both live in lake communities, and we swam everyday. Lincoln is getting more brave in the water, especially when he is wearing his spider man life jacket. Link had lots of attention from my cousins Abby, Violet and Graham.
He also got to play in the water with Mercy: she is the daughter of my mom's great friend Heather.
Uncle Barrys tend to be really cool uncles. Lincoln got to play with my Uncle Barry, and he even got to do some fishing.
Drake didn't get to enjoy the water. He spent lots of time with my Aunt Cheryl (she even got him to take a bottle) and lots of time in the shade.
We have been having such a great summer, even though I am super sleep deprived. I am excited about more water adventures that we have planned for this summer!
