Lake Vacation

Sunday, July 6th was my birthday. Since we were leaving to go on vacation Sunday after church, Kevin, Madalyn, and I celebrated my birthday on Saturday. Kevin grilled out hamburgers and it was such a pleasant evening that we spread a blanket on the ground and ate our dinner in the backyard.  After church, we loaded up and headed to the lake for a week with my parents.   We had a great week. The weather was great; we had one day where the lake looked like the ocean and it was too rough for Madalyn to be in the water and we had one afternoon rain shower, but other than that it was great. Some of my family came down to see us throughout our time there. It was a nice time. I also got caught up on some sleep :0)  Madalyn had a blast playing in the water. She loves it so much and isn't scared at all. The hard part is getting her out of the water. She also played in the sand and we had many boat rides.  We all went fishing and had some luck too. One day we all went to Helen, GA and went tubing in the river which was a new experience for all of us. Madalyn really liked when we went over the rapids.  It was a fun week.

Going tubing on the Chattahoochee River

We had an hour ride and it was fun. The water was cold.

After we went tubing we took Madalyn to a playground they had there. Her favorite thing is the slide.

It was so much fun.  The only thing was that all week long Madalyn wanted to go home to see her kitty Bella. And when we did get home, they both were happy to see each other.
