Another Day at the Lake

We spent another beautiful, hot, sunny day at the lake.  Reagan made us another plan for the day, but this time it included a picnic lunch on the boat.  And we had several visitors ~ Aunt Ginger, Mamaw, Papaw & Keira.  Reagan said this was "the best day ever!"

Our boat ride included a trip around the eagle's nest
Reagan had to borrow Cooper's hat for the day
picnic time!
Daddy going for a swim
Daddy and his babies
My sweet, sweet girl
My sweet, sweet boy
Keira joined us for a swim in the cold water!
Cooper had gone at full speed all day and crashed on the boat
Ginger brought us an inner tube to ride
Cooper woke from his nap, but decided he would rather stay with mamaw and papaw than ride the waves!
Hold On!
click on this picture to see the look on Reagan and Keira's faces
Acting silly
it took him a looong time to wake up
Sweet cousins
After the boat ride, the kids headed to the pool
Cooper is awake and tormenting the girls!
It's impossible to get a good smiling shot of 3 kids
Cooper loved to splash the girls
Gigi made us a wonderful dinner
we also enjoyed....homemade ice cream!
They tried fishing again tonight, but the fish just weren't biting
Cooper was a little disappointed he didn't get to ride on the tube ~ maybe he'll be awake next time!
Love this boy and his smiles!
Getting to spend time with family was the best way to spend the long holiday weekend!

A Girl's Plan for the Day

Reagan made us a plan for the day and we tried to follow it best we could.  (Sorry for the amount of pictures ~ believe it or not, I did delete some before posting!)

the plan:
boat ride, 6 chocolate bars, swim in the lake, invite friends, water tea and juices, sunscreen, bathing suits, towels
item #1 - boat ride

She LOVED going fast
We thought it may be too cold to swim in the lake, but Reagan wanted to try it
"come in guys, the water is fine!"
Cooper wasn't too sure
Gigi was brave enough to get in the water, so Cooper followed
He thinks it's pretty fun
the things you do for your children!
the few, the brave
Captain Cooper back at the helm
Cooper thought it was so great that he and Bubba had matching hats
when we got back home, the kids weren't done swimming ~ they wanted to get in the pool
Reagan didn't last too long ~ Cooper was splashing too much
the pool all to myself!!
the next few shots are action shots of Cooper jumping in the pool
It's a bird, it's a plane...it's Super Cooper!
After all that swimming, it was time to eat
a hamburger for Cooper
a hot dog to Reagan
Of course, no cook out is complete without homemade ice cream (at least in the Sandidge family!)
with full bellies, it is time to fish
This is a rare sighting...
The evening concluded with gathering sticks, berries and leaves to make nests.  Then there were baths and bedtime!  My camera battery gave out long before the kids and their activities!!   What will tomorrow's plan be?
