Our Very Fun, Busy First Weekend of Summer Vacation!

School ended on Wednesday, then Teacher Work Day was Thursday, and the End of the Year Party was on Thursday night. Friday started my first day of summer vacation. It also started the first day of Dave's new schedule of having weekends off!

We started our weekend fun on Friday afternoon by taking the boat out on the lake for a bit. It was nice because there were only 2 other boats out. We, actually I should say I, am a slow boat kind of person. We take slow laps around the lake, then float for a bit. It was absolutely beautiful out and was so peaceful.

Daddy and Dane hanging out
Friday evening we grilled brats for dinner, then headed down to Troy and Vicki's house to hang out for a bit. Some of our other friends came over as well and we had fun watching the kids play and hanging out. Dane is always so entertained when we hang out with other kids. He loves to watch them play. He actually stayed up past 7:30!
Saturday morning we headed up to St. Louis. We had some errands to run and then we headed to Des Pres Pool for Trey's 5th Birthday Party!

Can't believe our little buddy is 5!
All of his friends gathered around to sing Happy Birthday!
Dane loves Trey! He loves to pat him on the head!
He also gives him big hugs!
Daddy was trying to keep Dane entertained while he waited for his piece of birthday cake!
Loved the birthday cake!
After eating cake it was time to hit the pool.
They had an inside wave pool and then a big outdoor area.
Aunt Kara and Claire trying out the indoor pool
Dane and Daddy headed outside.
Dane loves the pool.
He especially likes it when Daddy lays down and he can splash around on him.
Claire seemed to like the pool a bit more when she was near Dane.
Mommy and Dane
Dane loved swimming and it totally wore him out. He fell asleep before we even left the parking lot and then slept for a while at Mama and Papa's house.

Sunday morning we went for a long walk and then got ready to hang out with our friends again. We took the boat out and met Troy and Vicki and their boys and Tasha and Andy and their little girl on the lake.

Dane fell asleep and took a long nap on the boat.
All three boats were parked together so the guys jumped in and swam a bit.
Tyler and Dave going for a little swim
Dane woke up from his nap and loved to watch everyone swim in the lake.
With four kids under the age of 3 we didn't stay out real long. We headed back to Troy and Vicki's so the kids could play. Dane climbed onto Tyler's little motorized four wheeler. At first Dave pulled the handle bars for him and he rode around the backyard and loved it!
Next thing I know I look over and Dane is pulling the handle bars on his own and riding around. He rode very slowly, which was good, and Dave followed him around. He was having such a good time!
He loved this little four wheeler.
He also entertained himself by pushing around this wheelbarrow.
Troy grilled pork steaks and hotdogs for dinner and we made mac and cheese, baked beans, macaroni salad, and corn on the cobb. Dane really loved his mac and cheese.
It didn't take long for the boys to ditch their spoons and start using their hands!
After they both thoroughly enjoyed their dinners we put them in the tub
and got their pjs on them.
Dane didn't make it much past 7:30 tonight and he was sound asleep.
He seemed to have a blast with his little friends this weekend.
