Emerson Lake

So Sunday we tried to take a little vacation and visit my parents for a day at Emerson Lake. We always have such a good time there. And of course my parents love to play with Nicolynn, so Josh and I get a little parenting break too.
Now one thing you need to know about Emerson Lake, is that it's a fishing lake that we just can't seem to find the fish in. It's fun to try fishing, but the fish especially avoid Josh and myself. So this time we didn't even pick up a fishing pole. Instead we headed for the paddle boats and the swimming dock.

My dad and I had a blast jumping off the dock trying to do dives (that look like cannonballs) and flips (that look like belly flops) and back dives (that look more like back flops than anything else). But that was the highlight of my trip!!!

We also had so much fun playing with Nicolynn in the water. She is very comfortable in the water, but doesn't like to get dirty by the sand. She is 100% girl.

Nicolynn also went for a boat ride with Grandma and Papa. She really enjoyed her short ride, and they went pretty fast too. Soon she'll be fishing out of that boat with them, but probably not this year....
