A Day At The Lake

Grandma and Grandpa Allen ("Grammy and Papa") came to visit us about a week before we actually went to the lake, and so you can imagine the ear full I heard every day for a week! Kyri was SO excited to "ride Papa's boat!" And her excitement was not in vain....she really had a great time! We all did! We met Jimmy, Meagan, Todd, and Heather in St George Saturday morning and met up with Pops and Mops when they got done at the Temple that afternoon. We literally spent a DAY at the lake...and loved every minute of it! Here's some photos to prove it:

Preparation

nothin' beats a bowl full of mush before a long day in the sun

Kyri was SO excited to go! As soon as she woke up she put her life jacket on (backwards) over her jammies. We couldn't get ready fast enough!

ACTION

Just happy to be on the lake....or is he just happy that Meagan (or "Meggy", if you ask Kyri) is holding him? Probably a little of both.

Kyri sporting her "sunscreen hair", since the wind from the speed of the boat kept blowing her hat off.

"this lifejacket isn't so bad...in fact, it's kinda comfy"

Happy to be close to the water, as long as she doesn't have to get in. Her favorite part of the whole trip was when she could "push" someone/anyone into the water.

"Meggy", Kyri, and "Header" just sticking their feet in to test the temperature of the water

The whole family on the tube...we were going SUPER fast, in case you couldn't tell by how taut the rope is. :) Graysen wasn't too sure about it (I forgot his hat, so the sun was in his eyes), Kyri was just chill (she was pretty tired so she was kind of emotionless), and Gary and I were holding on for dear life so Pops wouldn't flip us into the water! :) Thanks for the ride...at least we have a family memory of tubing.

What a pro!!

Result

What a FUN day in the sun....enough to wear out the best of 'em!

Nothin gets a baby to stop fussing and go right to sleep faster than the hum of a Centurion Typhoon

Kyri fell asleep while being the "flag girl" with daddy. When we put her down she was mostly in the sun so we put her hat over her eyes and a blanket to keep her shaded...she slept like a baby!

Thanks everyone for such a GREAT day at the lake and a fabulous weekend!!
