Let's Go on Vacation!

We were invited to go down to the Lake with Michael and Heather for an entire week for the 4th. I have to say, I've haven't been this excited/ready for a vacation in a really long time! We were going to be gone for about 7 days-the longest all four of us have ever gone out of town at once. Since we were staying at a house that didn't have babies yet, I knew I was going to be packing a LOT of stuff. I tried to do the best I could to not over pack too much and stay really organized. Despite it taking an entire day, I was able to pack only what we REALLY needed and I have to say, I did a great job! We used/wore everything I packed! Too bad I'll probably never be able to do it again-ha! We got to the lake Friday night and set to work unpacking without taking over the whole house. Emma immediately spotted the pool and wanted to get in for a swim. Before we knew it, she was skinny dippin and having a great time!
We spent the next 5 days sitting by the pool, relaxing, reading, grilling out, and enjoying being away from "real life" for a few days. Emma quickly latched onto both Michael and Heather-always asking where they were and swimming with them any time they got in the pool. She has two new best friends now for sure. And since they are expecting a little boy in the fall, I think it's going to be hard to keep Emma away!
