Tyler's 1st summer vacation!

We went on vacation last week with the Haertling family to Kentucky Lake. Devin's family organized this as his grandparent's anniversary is in July and both will be celebrating their 75th and 80 th birthdays in Aug and Sept. On Monday evening before we left for the lake on Wed. Tyler got to meet her Great Aunt Julie, Great Uncle Bob, and cousins Nathan and Jared Burgess. They just moved from Arizona to Houston, TX so this is the first time theyve been here since Tyler was born. We visited with a yummy fish fry at Devin s grandparents. His grandpa Haertling always has the best fish! On Wednesday, I had a workshop to attend, but Devin was off and stayed with Tyler and packed up the 4 runner so we could leave as soon as I got home. Devin fed Tyler right before we left and we were ready to hit the road! Tyler did great! It was a 2 1/2 hour drive and she slept the entire way! She was out before we even got out of Nashville. We arrived at the lake house that Devin s Uncle Steve arranged for us to stay in. It was so beautiful! This is the owners second home and wow! It was NICE! Most of the family stayed on a house boat they rented. Uncle Steve brought his ski boat. I was just looking forward to relaxing and once I saw the house knew I could just enjoy the luxury! It was beautiful with the deck off the back oerlooking the lake. I did not take Tyler on the boat...no lifejacket for her and just didnt think a five month old needed to be on a ski boat. Devins mom stayed with her one afternoon so we could enjoy boating on the lake, Devin skied, and we took a ride on the jet ski. Another afternoon Great Grandma stayed with Tyler and Devin and I joined his family just swimming in the lake. We enjoyed getting to see some family that lives farther away. Many came and went through the week, but I think there was one day when all but four family members were there! Tyler did swim in her little blow up pool and loved it! She did great on her first trip! I plan to do lots of traveling with her, so hopefuly she continues to like it! Next up, Branson in a couple weeks!
