When we realized we were going to be able to rent this home on Lake Norman, we decided we’d try and get a couple of kayaks…Abbey has lots of experience on them from marine science camps, etc. and the other big kids were eager to try. We’re considering them our moving in presents to ourselves :)
By now, you’re bound to be getting sick of water pictures!Â
Randy and Abbey have a special relationship…here, Abbey is sharing some “water” with her dad.Â
…and, “helping” him into the lake. What a sweetie.Â
Randy wanted them to practice tipping over, to make sure they’d know what to do if (when) it happens. Marley needed help tipping hers!Â
she can flip it back over, though.
Here comes a back buster! The lifevest helped break the fall.Â
Like my new tee?Â
Abbey tried to help me into the lake, too.Â
And, I’m ending with this. She’s fearless with those floaties :)

Getting the kayaks was a GREAT idea and you all are at the perfect place for them. Did you get just the 2 kayaks?? Your kids know how to take turns so that wouldn’t be a problem. It looks like you all are on an extended vacation (ain’t nothing wrong with that).

As we sit here, in the middle of Ohio, how fair is it that you move from the vacation capital of the U.S. and then get to live in a house that FEELS like a vacation home?! Will you adopt me and my kids…PULEEEEZZZZZ????
Love your updates, Donna…and Dylan is seriously one cute kid. Can’t wait to see him in your arms. Those updated pics were too adorable for words!

Yes, I DO like your new tee…I’ll look up Phil 4:13. What a great idea…kayaks! I would have never thought of that…and yes, Abbey has gotten some experience with them.
Love these pictures…they look like they’re really enjoying the new kayaks! Yes, you all deserve a “moving in” present since you’ve been extremely busy packing and UNpacking for at least a month. Now it’s time to “kick back” :D (Glad to see life jackets on the kids!) What perfect timing…summer vacation!! ENJOY!
