Lukas at the lake!

Last Friday G-pa was going to take his new boat out for an inaugural sail, and I got to go along!! We took the boat to Yankee Springs and I worked really hard to help him get it all set up!

I will admit that I may have taken a few play breaks in between all the hard work! I had a lot of digging to do in order to get this beach in shape!

Being that last summer I was just a youngster I had forgotten how nice it is to just hang out in short sleeves and shorts. This spring has left a lot to be desired when it comes to nice weather, so I was really glad to be able to take advantage of this day!!
And...yes I like tractors....Do you like tractors?

I brought T-rex along to watch over the campsite....he was there to scare away any interlopers!!

It was up to me to take him around and show him the surroundings! It was his first time at the beach and he was a little hesitant about some of the new things he was seeing!!


G-pa and I spent a lot of time building these really neat sandcastles....and that darn T-rex went right over and stomped on them....G-ma said it was OK that she would help me re-build them with me later!

While we were walking on the beach he kept picking up all sorts of things in the sand.. I had to keep telling him that he can NOT be putting things in his mouth with out asking if it was safe first....Now I know what everyone went through with me when I was at that stage so long ago!!! Man this parenting thing is TOUGH!!!

T-rex was finally a little tired so he headed back to the camper for a little snooze and I continued on with my exploration!
I noticed some things laying on the shore and headed over! Gma said they were dead fish...I have seen my fair share of dead fish and I was not all that convinced!!! I asked Gma if I could touch them to make sure....... I'm inquisitive like that!!
Anyways, she suggested that I use a stick to touch them! I used a long one first, just to be sure!!

Then I moved to a smaller one!

Eventually I just braved it and used my finger...and guess what.....YUP they were DEAD!!! :) :)

Then Gma spotted this moving in and for some reason she would NOT let me touch it, even with a stick..Darn it, it looked really interesting!!

Then the snake, yup I kid you not that is what it is...decided to head to dry land. I guess I am supposed to watch out for this thing and stay away from it!!!

I guess T-rex sensed that I may be in trouble and headed down to check it out...he left a lot of footprints in the sand!

Gpa was working really hard on his boat and I was very helpful! It was especially fun to hang out under this huge trampoline on his boat......I had to keep reminding them that it was not just a boat....but a CATAMARAN!!! Gesh!!!

It was a lot of work getting under this thing!

Why in the world Gma decided it was necessary to post this pic I will never know.....why she is so intrigued with a wet, sandy backside is beyond me, I can't wait till I figure out how to load my own pics so I don't have to work around her choices!!

After I was done with all those distractions I was back to helping Gpa with his boat, I can't wait to get a ride on this thing! It is so big when you see it next to my daddy's boat!

Right after they got out of work dad and aunt Ya headed down to hang out for a bit! I was sooooooo excited to show her all the stuff I had found earlier!! She, being the AWESOME aunt she is, was more than happy to tag along!

We spent the night in GandG's trailer and when we woke up it was a little cold and rainy. Dad and Gpa were determined to get in some sailing NO MATTER WHAT!!!

I got bundled up.....I will say I so liked the weather yesterday better.....anyways, I headed out to the beach and found some neat puddles to stomp in!!!

Not to worry, I had extra dry shoes back at the trailer!

Aunt Ya was along and we were writing in the sand with sticks. I asked her to draw me a combine......COME ON....that is NO combine, it's a tractor, and then I had to point out that she didn't have a mower attachment either. So much for remedial drawing skills, but she tries!!!;)

I noticed that the wheels looked a little loose so I fixed them!!!

Dad and Gpa got a little sailing in and we had some lunch before Dad and I headed home to see Mommy.....I really missed her!

I'm thinking I may have to give Gpa hat wearing lessons sometime soon. I mean seriously if I am going to be spending time with him I can't have him looking like that!!!

Well that's it for this blog...stay tuned it looks to be a busy summer with a lot of fun this to tell you all about!! Bye for now!
