Swan Lake 2012

We returned to Swan Lake again this year for another week of vacation. We were again able to borrow Dana's parents' camper to use at the resort which works out so nicely. (Thanks again to Holly and Kevin for letting us use it all week!) We had really good weather with the exception of a couple of windy days, but no rain.

This year I talked Dana into renting a pontoon so we could tool around the lake a little and try to catch some sunnies for me! We got skunked big time, though. Oh well, we still had fun out there. Grandpa and Grandma came along, too.

The resort put in a fancy new playground set this year, so of course we spent a lot of time over there. Brynn was into riding my jet ski with me a lot more this year which was really fun. We rode jet ski every day and the only time I rode mine alone was when I put it into the water when we arrived.

With all the time she spends playing outside on a daily basis, plus this week outside, she has gotten quite tan. Or as she says, "the sun has really made me grey." Grey, tan, close enough. Ha.

We'll be back again next year for sure.

Notice the pinky? Total Brynnie.

We got ourselves a little camping grill. It was very handy.

I think this was day two of these braids. I happened to mention to her that Grandma Laurie put my hair in piggy braids a lot when I was a little girl, so she asked Grandma Holly to do her hair like that - and then wouldn't let me wash them out for three days! Heck, that's what vacation's all about, right? Although you wouldn't know it from her dirty face here, I did wash the rest of her body. :-)

We were so proud of Brynnie, and she was of herself, too....she had been afraid to climb up this ladder on the playset all by herself, and finally she got brave enough to tackle it alone. It was great to watch her face and see how excited she was to have overcome a fear of something and accomplish what she wanted to do, even if it was something as simple as climbing up the ladder at the playground.
