Although it felt like we were packing for a month long trip, Bill was able to fit everything in the car for our first trip with Colin to the Lake House. Colin did very well on the way there and back. He did get bored and cranky the last 20-30min both ways and it took a lot of singing of songs, rattling of rattles, and crinkling of crinkle books to keep him distracted. We learned several lessons of what to make sure and pack for the car ride, not just the final destination.
It was very windy at the lake. Fortunately, the sun was out. Colin enjoyed time with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Here he is with aunt Sarah. Bill dipped Colin's feet in the lake and the poor little guy cried -the water was still quite chilly. Cousin Zoe went swimming, the cold water didn't stop her!
