Santee Trip

Last weekend Eric was out of town, and the boys had gone to my parents for two days. On Friday evening we all met up at my Aunt and Uncle's lake house. And let me just tell you, it was a hit. Drake loved everything about it. It was so much fun to watch him having so much fun. Eli thought it was all okay, as long as I was nearby. He is such a stinker- he is always fine with my family if I'm not around. But as soon as he hears me or see me, he does nothing but whine until he's in my arms. Drake has finally perfected saying "Grandma" and "Grandpa", rather than some variation. And it's super cute!

Enjoy some photos!

What better use for sticky sunscreen hands than to give your kids a mohawk?

HE HAS HAIR!!! It's about darn time. See the mohawk?
Cutest little face ever!
Drake had two obsessions: The boat and the jetski!
So cute!
This is Eli's "please save me from the waves" face.
Poor Drake wasn't quite awake in this picture. He'd just woken up from a nap.
I love this face.
Off for another boat ride.
Eli L.O.V.E.S to eat. In a serious kinda way. He even tries to steal Grandma's snack.
The closest I came to a picture of them together.


Drake was obsessed with the boat, in a major kinda way.
Time for a boat ride!
Drake was co-captain on the boat. He was quite talented at blowing the horn.
This little one loves his Grandma. Unless Mommy is around. Then all bets are off.
Tired boy took a nap, right in a tent in the middle of the living room.
Grandpa taking Drake and Eli back down to the water. The wagon was very handy!
Late Sunday afternoon we were about one of the only families left. The lake was so quiet and calm. We decided to take Drake for a little ride in the tube, and he LOVED It. It was one of those tubes you sit down into, with two spots. Fran went with us!

And someone enjoyed a snack with Grandma while we were off in the tube!"Shovel it in!"
I wish I had a recording of Drake's squeels. He LOVED it!

We are headed back down there over the July 4th weekend, and this time Daddy's coming with us!
