Lake Possum Kingdom

We took our first long road trip to Lake Possum Kingdom in August for Katie's dad's 50th birthday. Katie's parents, Chad, Christy and Cody joined us at the lake.

The car is packed and we are ready to go. This was Wesley's first long car trip so we didn't know what to expect. Wesley did great for about the first 45 minutes, then Katie sat next to him and pulled out some of his favorite toys.

Wesley eventually feel asleep and slept for about 45 minutes.
We knew it would be difficult to get Wesley to wear his life jacket so we tried to have him wear it a few weeks before we left, and he refused. When we got to the lake house Katie's dad had the boat all ready to take Wes for his first boat ride. We thought oh dear this is going to be a struggle to get his life jacket on, he put it right on and away we went.
This summer Wesley hasn't enjoyed swimming in the pool, he would rather stand and play in the water. He refused to get in his floaty so we played at the boat dock the majority of the time.
After lunch one day we gave Wesley his first Oreo cookie and he loved it!
On the last day at the lake we pulled out the boche set and enjoyed a little family competition.
On Saturday we decorated the house for Katie's dads 50th birthday.
Happy 50th Dad. Hope you enjoyed your birthday.
We took popsicles for Wesley to enjoy while at the lake. He is still talking about it to this day. He will not get to have any more until next summer, we will see if he likes them then. On Friday night the lake showed a movie, well it happened to be right outside our house. After getting Wesley down we sat out on the back porch and enjoyed Ice Age 2.

On the last day Chad and Christy went on a canoe ride before the sun went down and came back and engaged couple!!! Congratulations Chad and Christy.
