WolfaPalooza Weekend at Lake Travis

Wow! What a great time we had this weekend. We went up to Lake Travis(Uncle Steve & Aunt Shereda's house) to see my dad's whole side of the family. We started this a couple of years ago, since trying to get together for Christmas was to difficult. Especially, when trying to balance out multiple families. Can you say headache? Every year we make unforgetable memories, along with playing catch up.
My kids had a blast, maybe since they all love the water! They all rode the Sea Doos, even little Lilly, who insisted on driving?! However, Lilly wasn't to sure about the tubing? We decided to skip it with her & try next time. However, she is a little dare devil; jumping into the lake, then, jumped into the pool with no floaties on! What is she thinking? Thinking she was having herself a good old time, having mommy chase her around the pool. She has absolutely no fear of the water, which is fine if I had another set of eyes, maybe a couple extra arms & a padlock to keep her from taking off her floaty. Overall, she will swim to the top of the water after jumping in & w/n minutes she is up wanting to do it again. She wears me out! Thank goodness I had them all young!! Bryce is doing awesome swimming! When you can sit out & let them swim- that is progress. Brock is still a little intimidated by the whole swimming by yourself stage. He can swim like a fish with you in the water, but that is it. His favorite game is for you to push him to the bottom of the pool so he can retrieve diving toys. I was pretty impressed if I might say so myself. My cousins little 18month old, Mason, was so infatuated w/ what Lilly was doing this weekend , it was too cute. Lilly would dip her finger in ketchup, so would Mason. Sorry, Shan, however; we did get Cole to start emersing his head into the water. Yeah Cole!
Since I found out that all of the family members have blogs, I just wanted to say thanks for a great, catch up weekend & we love you ALL!

Yes, Mason is still dipping his fingers in whatever he can but that's okay because Cole is still dipping his head under water, jumping in the pool, and "swimming!" Yea, thank you for influencing him that way. We miss you guys so much and can't wait to get to Texas for good in just 2 short year. Love you cous'!
