Tessa woke up ready for another fun day on the lake. James and I decided we would only stay out until her nap time in an attempt to get to nap at the house which would make bedtime easier. Today all she wanted to do was play in her pool and ride the sea doo. […]

Tessa woke up early today so we watched Cinderella while everyone slept. Then headed out to the lake.

So Gigi went with her […]
