Yesterday we took a venture out to Lake Minnetonka for GigiJeff's (that's how the girls refer to Dana's sister and her husband) wedding reception. It was an absolutely perfect day. Jeff's dad lives right on the lake and hosted the party at his house.
The girls had new dresses for the occasion (thanks to Grandma Schmidt) and they brought along their new sand buckets, shovels, swimsuits and towel dresses (thanks to Nana) and their new princess life jackets (thanks to Daddy). These girls were decked to the 9s and ready to party!
I was able to keep them entertained with the sand until it was time to eat. I promised the girls they could go swimming after we ate. Both girls ate pretty quickly. :)
After lunch, we did the swimsuit and life jacket thing and both girls hopped right in the water. They had a blast throwing muddy sand into the water and just lounging in their life jackets. There was plenty of digging going on and hardly any sand actually thrown at another person. Abby really had a fun time in the water. She figured out that her life jacket helped her float, so at some point she was in the water all by herself, floating on her tummy, walking herself around on her hands and singing a little tune. It reminded me of our lake when I was a little girl. Ahh, the memories.

The picture of the girls romping in the water on this perfect day is a truly special memory. So happy that the day was a success for everyone.
