Kingsley Lake

Sunday Matt, Maddy, and I went on a road trip to Kingsley Lake. Our friends Kelli and Phillip invited us, Kelli's parents have a Lake House and we were excited to go!

The drive down was great! Maddy slept most of the way, about an hour. When we got there we dropped off our stuff at the lake house and headed down to the water! Maddy spent the first half hour or so trying to decide if she wanted to play in the water or on the shore! She liked going back and forth. After a little while we put her little floatie arms on and brought her in the water with us. She had fun chasing Kelli in the water and splashing around! The guys took off on the Jet-Ski and Kelli and I went over to the dock to let Maddy play on the slide. They had one of those little Tykes slides and I took Maddy up the steps to the dock and Kelli waited in the lake. Then we slid Mad's down the slide right into the lake! At first she wasn't too sure about it but then loved it! She kept wanting to climb back up again and again but it was funny because when we would get to te top of the slide I would say, "Are you ready?" And she would go, "Uhhhh..... no!" Which is one of her things that she does all the time now-even if it's something she wants to do! But then after saying that she would try to get me to help her down the slide.

She we went a few more times. then we took the slide to the shallow end and let her play on it, climbing up and sliding down. Much of the time was spent telling her she could 't climb UP the slide which she wasn't very thrilled about! Then she got on the top pf the slide and Kelli began making mud castles on her legs and she LOVED this! She would just laugh and laugh! After a little bit Matt and Phillip came back and Kelli and I went out on the Jet-Ski. Now let me just tell you this was my very first time on a Jet-Ski EVER!!!! I was excited but a little scared! Kelli promised she wouldn't go too fast! We went off and it was so beautiful out of the water! So much fun but I got a little scared if she tried to go faster and told her ok slow down! We saw lots of cute little boat houses and talked about which one we wanted to own one day!

When we got back we saw 2 little ducks swim by, Maddy was thrilled of course! Then we had a picnic at the tables right beside the lake. Kelli and Phillip has picked up drinks, subs, and chicken. Oh it was soooo yummy! Afterwards we played for a few more minutes before getting packed up. Once we got in the car to head home I gave Maddy her paci and within literally 3 minutes she was sound asleep!
