For his first Father's Day, I rented a lake house at the nearby Lake Gaston. We invited our besties David and Brandy, and their daughter Steele to come along as well. The more the merrier, right?
The fun started when we arrived at the front door and began looking for the hide-a-key above the door sill...apparently a favorite spot for spiders! David was grumbling about and having a hard time finding the key, while Landon was laughing hysterically at him! I know that it's not a very nice thing to laugh at people when they are having a hard time, but while Landon's still a baby, it's pretty hilarious to see him crack up when someone falls, slips or suffers some other sort of trouble. Especially when's its David. (That one was for Phillip).
The next morning after a relaxing evening on the deck overlooking the lake, we visited our friends The Royals, who own their very own house on the lake, an awesome low-country cottage worthy of Southern Living. We added our two kids to their three kids and piled onto their pontoon boat for some water fun. This was Landon's first time on a boat, and also his first time in a life preserver.
When we first took off in the boat, I held Landon in my arms, but before long he was ready to explore. I put him down on the deck of the boat, letting him stand and then slowly put his arms down to get his balance. I guess he wasn't used to crawling in the vest, or because the floor of the boat was moving, but he stayed in the downward dog yoga pose for at least 2 full minutes! We were all laughing hysterically (he looked like a baby turtle with his life vest) but sadly did not get a picture because we all thought he would move at any second! After he figured things out, he took off and never looked back. Seems like we have a water baby!
