Lots of snuggles, paddle boarding and fun.

No vacation is complete without ice cream. We all ordered "infant" scoops and dang, whatever baby eats this has got to be chubby!

Part 2 of our vacation! Maeve is extremely comfortable in the water and this summer she decided she wants to be a lifeguard when she grows up. Enoch has been a little shy in the water but playing all week in a lake he significantly warmed up and became much more comfortable. Actually both boys became comfortable to the point that we had to keep a very close watch on them!

We spent a gorgeous week at a new-to-us lake, Waitts. At only an hour drive from our home it was nothing short of perfect. We lucked out in that the week we went was super hot and as predicted was followed by wildfires. Fortunately, almost all of our days were clear skied and smoke free. I loved, loved watching my kids spend time in the water. I grew up going to Shuswap Lake every summer and so no summer is complete without lake time for me!

After Maeve spent time with my mom and her cousin, Theia, at kidcation in Yahk, BC, my mom and Theia dropped Maeve off at our house and stayed the night. I love that my girls have been lucky enough to have kidcations with my parents. Maeve was sure to inform me that she only missed Sonny.
