Labor Day: "Kikis" and the Lake

Here are some pictures from our Labor Day fun with my family. Addison had a couple of "firsts" over the weekend. Her first boat ride (hated the lifejacket...loved the ride). We spent Sunday afternoon at the lake on Uncle Sully's boat. Kyle attempted to water-ski, but the conditions were not great for a first time skier.

Another highlight of the weekend was Addison learning a new word..."kiki" aka kitty. My dad and stepmom have 2 new kitties (mouse-catchers) out at their place in the country that we all affectionately call "The Lodge".



Uncle Victor entertained Addison on the car ride back from the airport. We had a nice visit with him and my Uncle Scott. They were visiting from Portugal.
Dressed in her Sunday best gently studying Grandma J's flowers.
More gentle studying...


One, of 2 "kikis" either Tuxedo or Bowtie...

She was very gentle with the kitties and they were very patient with being handled!

Not loving the life-jacket.

On Grandma J's lap, still not loving the life-jacket.

Enjoying the relaxing boat ride.

Dad...water-skiing.
