Pratt Lake


My friend Jill invited us to stay at her grandma's cabin this weekend. We had lots of fun boating, swimming, eating and RELAXING. Jade and I swam for over 2 hours straight. It was fabulous!

Thanks for hosting us Jill...you're the best!

Making s'mores

Zoe enjoyed a nice snooze in the afternoon.

Jade refused to take off her sunglasses and water wings. Priceless.

Jade couldn't get enough of her life jacket.

Zoe was questioning hers.

Zoe loved her new swimsuit and sunglasses though (thank you Auntie Mimi and Grandma Kathy).

Jade was SO excited to swim in the lake (it was all she could talk about the day before). Jill's grandma said Jade was "wound up like an eight dollar clock." You're not kidding!

Zoe didn't mind the lake at all. Sound asleep. That kid loves her car seat.

The Cake

Decorating Jade's cake became an Activities Day/Young Women activity! I wanted to learn how to do fondant (with our only free night being youth night), so these sweet girls agreed to demo fondant for my Activity Day girls! I watched and organized the girls...and they worked on the cake!


The masterpiece!

Thank you Marcela and Jan for making such a beautiful cake for Jade! I love you girls!

Complete with Dora! Jade LOVED it!!
