Rejuvenate

Chris and I just got back from an amazing vacation last night. And I still haven't blogged about our last getaway over Labor Day. Can you tell we're making up for lost time? After a year of no vacation (maternity leave absorbed all my leave last year and does. not. count), Chris and I have gone a little wild.

I only have energy for one set of pics tonight, so here's round one:

Lakeside Labor Day

We went up to Lake Winnepesaukah (I'll be darned if that isn't some crazy spelling) with some friends whose parents own the loveliest of lovely lake houses up there. We loved every second of it.

Part of what I enjoyed was all the activity. When you have a baby, sedentary vacations aren't much of a break. It's kind of hard to sit and relax while your baby is all over creation. On the flip side, if there are things to go out and do, and the baby can be brought along (with you and your hubby doing the 'baby pass' dance), everyone wins.

In a matter of four days we went: kayaking, tubing, e-biking, antiquing, marshmallow roasting, wake-skating, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, water-skiing, rope-swinging, watersliding, boating, and jet skiing. We came back sun-kissed and oh so happy. Great place, great fun, greater friends.


I spent some time here:


...trying to figure out how long it would take to get sick of looking at this:



Eva laughed at the prospect that this would ever happen:



She nearly got swallowed by the yellow life-jacket monster, but lived to tell the tale.



My muffin of deliciousness:


Chris focuses on his new skill set:



A 250 foot moon bounce that drops you into the lake. Awe. Some.



Taking a snack break.






I like the knee board. I refer to it as a reliable watersport (read:not as hard as ski's to get up on).





The face of contentment.
