Lake Life

During our recent trip to Lake Ida, Sara seriously embraced Lake Life.  I wasn't sure whether she'd really enjoy swimming in a lake after all of her pool time here in Texas, but it didn't take her long to find her lake groove.  Even at three-and-a-half, Sara already has many good lake house memories, and it was fun to watch her continue to love her time Up North.

Looking for rocks ... one of the best things about Lake Ida is that no matter where you jump in, you can see your toes (and all the rocks you could possibly want to pick up and throw).  The clear, clean water is so refreshing.
 It was pretty wavy on a couple of the days, so we made Sara wear her life jacket.  Once she figured out she could just float and ride the waves, she was content.  When not in her life jacket, she showed off her newly acquired swimming skills.
 Floating ... 
Hiding from the spontaneous rain shower that hit while we were out on the boat one day ... it didn't last long, and it made us laugh because the sun was shining throughout the short downpour.
 
Approximately ten seconds after this picture was taken, Sara was out and took a long nap on Grandma's lap while cruising the lake.  Sometimes there is nothing better than a boat nap after a good swim.

Loon party ...
Enjoying her ride ...
Day is done, gone the sun.
See you next summer, Lake Ida!
