July 2014

We had a great camping trip with the Donnels and Hass' out at the lake this month.  Bobby took us all out on his boat and it was Marlowe's first time.  She was really nervous at first, but of course she liked it after a few minutes.  The kids all had fun on the tube.  Hopefully we get a couple of more lake trips in before summer is over.  At the campsite they had a park that had all sorts of equipment from the 70' and 80' from when I was a kid.  Teather ball, monkey bars, aluminum slide.  This is picture of Marlowe riding one of the old horses there.
Tired little girl and the end of the lake day curled up with her mommy.  The boat was going about 35 MPH and she was sucking her thumb trying to take a nap



Marlowe has really gained some strength this summer.  Gymnastics and swimming are the main reasons.  She now jumps in the pool at the deep end all by herself and swims to the ladder.  She can tread water for up to 20 seconds.  I can't believe how much she has progressed swimming this year.  Very proud of her.  She's even trying to ride her scooter and playing catch with the soccer ball with me.  I didn't think she would have any interest in a ball of any sorts but she's starting to come around.
Here is a pic of her wearing my favorite dress we got her while in Jamaica.
