First Vacation

We spent a long weekend at a lake house in DeLand with Jacob’s family this past weekend. The house is on Lake Beresford which connects to the St. John’s River. My family has used this vacation spot a number of times, but this was our first time with Josiah and Jacob’s family.

Josiah had a couple of firsts while we were gone. Other than his first vacation, he also went on his first boat ride and his first swim in a full sized pool. We had a great time and he did excellent being away from home. I was so proud of his napping abilities and he was as happy as could be!

Getting ready for a swim. Josiah looks a little worried!

Just getting his feet wet.

Josiah loved Mikayla's "water wings" (as she calls them). It was impossible to get them all to look at the camera at once.

Fun times.

Mikayla loving her first time on Uncle Jacob's boat.

My handsome man with Granny and Papa.

And with Nana, Dandy, and Mikayla.

Hangin' with the boys. They watched the little league world series ALL weekend.

One of my favorite pictures from the weekend. Mikayla loved to give Josiah "itty bitty kisses," but moments later that toy hit her in the head!

Josiah's first swim. Once he got used to the cold water, he seemed to love it. Of course, Daddy makes everything fun.

Take One: I got an unexpected response when I asked Josiah if he enjoyed his swim.

Take Two: That's better.

Jacob's boat is far from a speed boat, but it does go much faster than Dandy's pontoon boat that Mikayla is used to. She had fun driving. (We drive over our own wake a few times, hence the bouncing picture.)
