Memorial Day Weekend 2010

Jackson eating pancakes for breakfast

This past winter we took Jackson took the Kentucky lake for the first time, of course we weren't able to get on the water in the winter- so we just relaxed around at the cabin. Joshua and I decided we would take him for his first REAL lake experience Memorial Day Weekend.

And that we did.

We left Saturday for the 2 1/2 hour drive to right outside Paris, Tn. Jackson was completely worn out from earlier that day visiting family in Jackson, that he slept the entire drive. It was wonderful :-) We arrived that night and decided to just hang out with the Wallace's and eat pizza.

Sunday Morning we woke up and all got ready to head out to the water. We also took Jackson for a ride on the golf cart!

At first he didn't know what to think about the life jacket, they make those things where if he were to fall face down in the water it automatically will flip him over. Pretty cool, huh?

He eventually got used to it, and slept while riding the boat. We put him in the water and he would lay on his back and smile (with his eyes closed).  The sun was in his face.

After that, we took him to a little beach where he played in the water (and sand of course) until he just couldn't take it anymore. The sun completely drained him. We put him to sleep, layed him on some towels, and his was sound asleep until we left.

That night he went to bed early and slept for about 15 hours! Whitney and Gunner stayed at the cabin that night while he slept, so Joshua and I could go hang out with friends.

It was a fun weekend, and we will definately be going back :-)
