My Mother's Day... Delayed

I celebrated Mother's Day this past Sunday, May 16. Our household was sick last Sunday, so we decided to celebrate when we were all feeling better. Thankfully I didn't have to wait too long.

Sunday morning we got an early start. First stop, IHOP where Nathan enjoyed a HUGE breakfast of bananas (he ate a whole one!), pineapple, scrambled eggs, and pancakes!!! I was so happy to see him have his appetite back.

We hit the road at 10:00, and made it to Lake Oconnee around 11:30. We did a quick change into our swimsuits and loaded up the boat with coolers and beach towels and set sail.

Happy Family

P did not like his life jacket, but he did not complain too much. That's probably because Pop Pop let him drive the boat!

We quickly set anchor on "Dog Island." While Mom & I fixed lunch, P swam in the lake with Daddy. He really enjoyed the water. After lunch, P walked the beach with MeMe & me and played in the water and sand. So much fun watching him experience his "firsts."

The rest of our afternoon was spent with P enjoying a nap in MeMe's lap while looking out at the lake from a swing while I took a nap in the cabin. It was a very relaxing way to spend Mother's Day.
