2nd Birthday Weekend

This weekend we celebrated S's 2nd birthday! We rented a cabin for the weekend on Lake Jocassee. S and I went up Friday afternoon and Daddy came a bit later that evening. On Saturday night we had all the grandparents and aunts and uncles up for her party. It was an awesome, awesome, awesome weekend and may very well become a tradition!

S did GREAT both nights and slept like a champ! Usually, when we are away from home, the first night is a bit trying for us. We woke up to a chilly morning and spent some time just relaxing and reading before heading out for a walk to the lake. The view from the cabin was amazing and the day could not have been any more beautiful and crisp!!

The World of Energy at the Duke nuclear station was hosting a hunting and fishing expo that day. S went fishing for the first time! It was so cute!! She didn't catch anything, but one of the rangers got a fish hooked for her and let her reel it in. Very sweet! Once he got the hook out of the mouth for her, S was all about petting the fish (thank goodness for Purel). She now does a great "hooked fish" impression where she hooks her finger into her mouth as if she has been caught, then throws her arms up and says "splash!"(we threw her fish back in after we'd taken a picture so that is where the splash comes from).
