Ozarks - Take Two!

The first weekend of August, we trekked back down to the Ozarks for a nice, long weekend.  As soon as I got out of work that Thursday afternoon, we loaded up the Highlander for a late night ride.  As usual, Parker did great.  He actually stayed up a lot longer than I thought he would considering the time of night!  I was so worried he wouldn't sleep well that night, especially considering he was up playing with the crew when we arrived a little after 11pm!  But, just like his mom and dad, that kid loves to sleep.

The weekend was so great and Parker enjoyed the water both days.  In fact, he's so comfortable in the water that he actually fell asleep again.  Yep, our boy is a water baby.  And I'm not talking a quick snooze, this was at least a 10 minute nap and probably would have been longer if I had allowed it.  I'm sure the fact that it was basically bath water (all those warm days seem to have heated the lake right up!) and the wave motion completely lulled him to sleep, heck he may have thought he was back in the uterus! However, something about letting my baby prune up in the water for nap time just didn't feel right, so eventually we took him out and inside for a bath so he could take a real nap inside :)

Scott did manage to click a few pics of him snoozing away....

The rest of the weekend was filled with many board games (Clue, anyone?) including a stomping on Scott, Rachel and Jonathan by yours truly in Monopoly and yelling at Scott to get Parker closer to the dock.  I will not go into details, but let's just say somebody (Scott) thought it would be fun to take Parker out WAY too far.  I'm just thankful Jeanne stepped in and convinced him to head back since he would not listen to his wife (grrr)!  Men.
