Week in Review - 6.21.13

1.  The Weekend:
We had such a wonderful weekend!  Our original plan was to go down to Lake Rathbun for the whole weekend with Marc, Amber and their family but of course the weather was predicted to be bad so we hung back until Sunday.  

So Saturday we had a great family day.  In the morning we got up and made the decision to wait until Sunday to go south despite the fact the camper was ready and loaded.  So we headed to the local Farmer's Market, picked up a few things and went out to breakfast.

In the afternoon we laid low and grilled out for dinner.  

And biked to Dairy Queen for some yummy ice cream after dinner.

On Sunday we got up bright and early and headed down to Lake Rathbun to go out on the lake with some friends.  It was a beautiful day!  It was also Father's Day! 

So while the guys spent time with thier kids on the boat, Amber and I enjoyed a nice beverage while floating around the lake.  :)

Elsie absolutely LOVED the boat, especially when Marc would go fast across the lake.  

We left early in the afternoon to go out to dinner with John's family.  

Grandpa Dale and his girls...

Although not how we planned it turned out to be a great weekend!!

2.  During the week we had Elsie's first swim lessons.  They weren't much, the instructors pretty much just let us play in the water but it was fun to get Elsie in the water.  Also, the water was pretty cold.  Since it was so early in the season the water hadn't had too much time to warm up.   I doubt we will do them again next summer until there is actual instruction.  It was still fun though. 

3.  Elsie found a new play to relax and read a book :)

4.  We had Elsie's 18 month Doctor Appointment.  All went well.  Check it out here.

5.  The rest of the week was spend packing and getting ready for the weekend/following week. Lots of grocery shopping, laundry, and house cleaning.  We were taking off for a mini vacation for five days. 

6.  We were still using some disposable diapers and I was tired of all of Elsie's shorts falling off because they aren't quite as bulky as our cloth diapers so I dug out some shorts from last summer.  We found lots of shorts that still fit from last summer (size 6-9 months) but the shirts were a little short as you can see from the pic below.  haha  I just had to try it on.
