first lake trip of the summer

Yesterday morning we drove Jordan to the lake. We hung out with some friends last night and my Grandma is up from Florida, so it seems like a great time for a visit!

There were some interesting things about this visit...first off it's been a year since Jordan's been to the lake, so I knew there would be a little bit of a learning curve as she figured out what she could and couldn't do. Next, Jordan is (day time) potty trained, so needing to go to the potty on the boat would probably be interesting. (Ask me about this if you're curious...I won't go into detail here!) And last but not least, since she has been sleeping in her toddler bed at home, we had to tackle the new bed hurdle!

The bed was definitely the biggest challenge. Jordan did not take a nap and didn't get to bed until late. We made up the bed and put the bed rail on before Kenneth and I left, but she would have nothing to do with it! She ended up sleeping in the OTHER twin bed in the room and without the bed rail. She wouldn't let Mom put pillows down on the floor beside the bed to cushion a fall, either. So Mom went back in after she fell asleep and put the pillows down...which were needed because she did fall out of the bed!

I met everyone for lunch today and got to hear all about the rules on the boat and Papa Carroll's new name..."Captain"! It is difficult to explain how happy Kenneth and I are to have such great friends and family who love our girl! :)
