Last weekend Grayson and I went to spend the weekend with Grandma Cheryl and Bob at his lake house. We had such a great time playing on the lake beach and Grayson got his first ride on a boat. He was not very happy with the life jacket on but once we were going he loved the "big bumps" as he calls them, when we hit the wakes and he also liked the spray of the water on his face.
When our beach vacation plans fell through his week, Bob generously let us go back to the lake house for a couple day get away. We had a blast together building sand castles, collecting lake shells, and swimming in the warm lake water. Grayson became so comfortable with the water that he would walk all the way out to where the water was right at his chin and would blow bubbles. Plus, he was really trying to put his face all the way in, but hasn't learned to keep his mouth shut. So he would make an awful face and try to rub the water off of his tongue with his hands and then eventually Ryan or I would get him juice to get the taste out of his mouth. But not even a minute after his drink, he would be right back at it again.
In addition to the beach fun, there were many opportunities for Grayson to use his new favorite phrase "Oh, Man!" It was hysterical to hear him say that while he was running this cars and trucks into the sandcastles or when a water skier would fall off their skies.
All in all it was a fantastic time, and a big thank you to Bob for letting us stay there.
