Fishing.....and falling in

A few Saturdays ago, we packed up our vehicle, met some friends, and headed to Lake Peloski for the afternoon. We had three boats, eleven adults, and seven kids. I was a little scared at first, but then got on board since the other kids were having so much fun. We tied our boats together and just hung out swimming, ate snacks and enjoyed the sun.

Throwing a fit, not wanting to
wear my life jacket. I didn't win the battle :)

I decided it wasn't so bad...boats are cool!

All of the kids on the inter tube....except me
(tantrum time), oops!

Swimming with Daddy

After we had hung out for awhile, we took one of the boats with my friend Brady and his Daddy out to fish for awhile. I was SO excited because I have never fished before.

Our first fish....kind of a small one :)

Our second fish. I think I smothered him a little, oops.

The highlight of the whole day (or not) was when my friend Brady and I were looking at the fish in the water. We are great friends, but we also like to fight a bit (what little boy doesn't). We were fighting over who got to see the fish, and just like that, I fell into the lake! I guess I'm glad Mommy and Daddy made me put that life jacket on! Mommy was freaking out (and so was I), but Daddy jumped in and rescued me. Whew, that was a close one. No more fighting on the boat!

Vikings Game

I got to attend the first pre-season Vikings game of the year, which was my first game ever. Mommy and Daddy realize that I'm not quite old enough to go yet, but figured a pre-season game would be calm enough so I could go. I did so good, and had such a fun time. Since it was a night game, and the game started at my typical bed time (7pm), we all left at half-time. None-the-less, we all had a great time. I learned how to do the 'first down' sign with my arm, sing the 'Skol Vikings' song, and cheer (I just took note from the people around me for this one). Our camera ran out of battery right when we walked in, so we only captured a few pictures.

WOW! It's a football game!

Daddy and I

Daddy promised that he will bring me to the games with him when I get older. I can't wait until I'm old enough to go with him, I love football games!

Carrie on 6K

A few weeks ago, we attended the 2nd annual Carrie On 6K to help remember Carrie Lorman. She was my daycare provider when I was really little, and we really miss her! We get to see her smile every day though when we see her beautiful 5-year old daughter Brooklyn. This year I rode in the stroller while mommy walked the 6K. Daddy was a volunteer again and he rode the 4-wheeler at the end of the race to make sure everyone finished safely. I was very well behaved during the entire walk (thanks to a lot of snacks), and I got to ride alongside some of my friends as our mommy's walked.

Mommy and I before the race...ready to go!

Snacks and water, check! Read to roll!

Off we go!

This year I also got to participate in the Brooklyn's Brigade kiddie run. We got to run around the church 1 time. I was a trooper, and even though I was the youngest participant, I completed the race. Mommy and Daddy were SO proud of me!
