We celebrated Pop's birthday a day early today. Dennis got him a water gun, and we baked him his favorite angel food cake (which we topped with strawberries and whipped cream). This followed a grilled burger and brats feast, and we all happily stuffed ourselves.
Dennis played with a stick for quite a while, sitting on the top step leading down into the lake from the dock. He twirled the stick around, pretended to fish with it, splashed us with it by slapping the water, and put his toes in the lake to enjoy the cool water. He also played with the neighbor girls, running around with Pop's new water gun and hiding from each other. And David, Allison, and I took all the children on a boat ride and the kids took turns driving us around on the lake. Rusty went with us and made a new friend in Hobbs (and went on to befriend all the lake dogs); he played with the children and enjoyed the boat ride. If today was any indication, this is sure going to be a fun summer at the lake!
Dennis rode down to the lake with Allison and told her "I love my Mommy, but she sure gets me in trouble sometimes. I think she needs a spanking." When they arrived at the lake, he went off to find Gran (MY Mommy) and told her she needed to come and spank me right away. But then he handled the job himself, laughingly swatting my behind and telling me I needed to listen better. I'll do my best!
