We decided to venture out on our first trip with Gavin for the 4th of July. We made the same trip that we usually do, to our friends lake house at Lake Sinclair. We picked him up early from school on Friday and headed up there. What should have been about a 3 - 3.5 hour drive ended up being a 4.5 hour drive due to a detour by Clay to look at a piece of property outside of Fitzgerald and having to stop at a gas station and feed Gav.
We had a delicious meal at The Brick, and introduced Gavin to everyone he hadn't met yet. Luckily our friends whose house we stayed at have a 2 1/2 yr old who doesn't sleep in his room and they hadn't moved the crib out of the nursery yet but had added bunk beds. So all three of us stayed in the same room which was interesting but worked out fine. Gavin slept so good which was such an answered prayer.
Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast and got dressed for the day.
Our friends Ashley and Wes lent us this wonderful portable bed type thing that you can use outside, it has a net and shade to keep the baby cool and comfortable
Next we got Gavin suited up in a life jacket so we could go to the bait store and buy "snakes" for Jackson our friend's son to fish with. Below are some pictures of Gavin's first ride on the boat.
Trying to shield him from all the wind!
We had so much fun playing at the lake and catching up with some of our very best friends. Gavin was so good the entire weekend, it was easy to forget he was even there because he was so content and quite. He got lots of love from all of his "aunts" and "uncles" and found a new friend in his "cousin" Jackson.
