Claytor Lake

After Drew left for the beach, we packed up the car once more and headed to "Peepaw's Lake" as Caleb calls it. PeePaw, Grandma Beth, Marshma, Papa, Dana, and Steve all went, so it was lots of fun. And the boys got LOTS of attention! When we were not on the water, Caleb was playing countless games of hide and go seek with Dana and Steve, and Luke could always be found in some one's arms. I was especially thankful that Marshma and Papa graciously volunteered to stay in the house with Luke while I played on the lake. Running up all the steps to feed Luke and put him to bed every few hours might have even counted as exercise!

I wasn't sure how Caleb would feel about the lake, but as it turns out he loves it. We even called him our "lake rat" because he would have swam and played all day. He was the first one off the dock and it the water each day, loved floating in his raft, had a blast riding on PeePaw's boat, and could not get enough of the jet ski. He only knew one speed- full throttle, and kept asking to "do it again!" Creed remembered to bring Caleb's fishing pole, and it didn't take long before they were catching fish off the dock. It was the perfect vacation!

Caleb's first catch at Claytor...It was this big!

Our lake rat!

If you don't already know, Caleb is obsessed with his Aunt Dana. She holds a very, very special place in his heart! It was so funny...about 7 and 1/2 hours into our drive to North Carolina we told Caleb, "We are almost to PeePaw's house." His response: "Yay! I am so excited to see Dana!" Ha!

The two most common phrases: "Go fast!" and "Let's do it again!"

Can you imagine a better place for snack time?!!

Thanks PeePaw and Grandma Beth for having us! And, a big thank you to everyone for helping out with the boys all week! We had a blast!
