Seen and Heard: LKA Edition

SEEN:

Windblown hair.


A tube catching air.


Cam taking a swing.


Doing his thing.


Riley's hide-and-peek-a-boo.


Flippin' a tube.

HEARD:

After she came in from tubing.

Me: Was it fun baby?

Riley: Um, yes.

Me: Are you sure?

Riley: Yes, but I like when it's more bumpy (ie faster).

If you asked her opinion it was always...

Riley: Go super fast!!!

Speeding over the water, wind in our hair, spray in our face.

Riley: Mom?

Me: Yes, baby?

Riley: This is the best day eber.

LKA: Riding The Waves

Riley can ride the jet ski tube alone, but if she's going on "the or-an-juh" tube, TG has to go with her. It's not because she's afraid, it's because I'm afraid.

Just check out her sweet adrenaline junky face.








We thought her first tube ride at 18 months was pretty daring, but her brother has her beat. After two days of listening to him whine and tantrum about everyone else having all the fun, we decided to give him a turn. He couldn't have moved his little feet any faster off the back of the boat if he tried. I was actually holding him back so he wouldn't slip and fall in.

He was so serious and completely ready to ride.








Is this a smug, 'Ha, told you I'm a big boy face' or what?

Wordless Wednesday: LKA Trampoline

LKA: Totally Tubular

You should know by now that our princess has the courage of a lion and a thrill seeker's spirit. There isn't much that scares her (except for Chuck E. Cheese). At the tender baby age of 18 months she went tubing for the first time at Lake of the Ozarks.

So you can guess that by the feisty age of 3, she's an old pro.






Don't worry grandparents, she wasn't completely alone. TG was nearby just in case.



But by the looks of this little face you can tell she didn't think she needed grown up help. "More bumpy please!"

LKA: S'more Please!

After a hot afternoon of playing in the sand we were ready for some nighttime treats.

Our friend started up the fire pit and got all the necessary ingredients.


Wait, we're missing something...Ohhh, there's the marshmallows.


Little man was already in bed for the night, but Riley was able to partake in her very first S'more. At first she was uncertain and eyed the treat warily.


But then she took a bite and this face just about says it all.

Hahaha. Now that's a delighted face.

LKA: Hanging at the Sandbar

Last week we were able to visit some of our favorite people. They are like family to us, and besides enjoying their company, our children adore them.

We had so much fun playing in the sand and water together. My memory card loaded with over 150 photos can attest to that.

The first afternoon we were there we trekked out to the sandbar. The sandbar is a gorgeous little cove that is perfect for splashing and playing in.

The kiddos "cooled" off in the water for a little bit.




Before racing through the shallows for dry land and sand.








We played with toy shovels and boats.






Camden splashed in a moat.

Before we called it a day and headed home.
