Carson, you had been so scared to jump off the dock but you suited up in your tiny lifejacket and into the water you plunged, as stiff and straight as a pencil. We all held our breath waiting for you emerge from the glassy surface. You popped up, took in a deep breath, blinked your eyes and yelled "AGAIN!!!"
And that was exactly what you did for the next 2 hours.
You, Zoe, Willa, Ty, and Ella swam in the lake, cuddled up for a movie, watched fireworks, and the next day you took your very first ride in a ski boat. You and I rode behind the boat in a tube, and you laughed so hard I had to check your face to make sure you weren't crying.
Daddy and I are both water lovers—we both spent high school years and beyond on a lake every summer, both lifeguarded—so seeing both of you enjoy the time that much made me so happy...and so very grateful to our friends the Trowbridges, who were nice enough to share their time and their perfect place with all of us.
