Today we had a lake day! Everyone helped load the boogie boards and we all got into our swim suits and headed out early in the morning. Lily really loves throwing herself backwards into the water and I was grateful we brought her life jacket. She's such a daredevil! She also wanted to play with everyone else's toys and threw her first real tantrum complete with kicking and screaming in the sand. I scooped her up and walked calmly down the trail while she continued to scream. When I gently put her feet on the sand, she proceeded to jump up and down and scream some more. I was able to remain calm and eventually she gave in and snuggled into Camilla's shoulder. A sweet friend passed me on the trail and told me she saw me with my crew in the water and thought I was a rock star. It was nice to hear. Most people just look at me like I'm crazy. After so many littles I know to expect these tantrums and I've learned how to wait them out.
Everyone else had a lot of fun swimming and cooling off. The big boys even ended up meeting some friends and swimming with them for a while. We all came home tired and sunburnt and enjoyed KD and salad for dinner!
