Our Weekend at Lake George

This weekend, we were invited to visit some friends at their cottage on Lake George. The weather was beautiful this weekend, and we welcomed the opportunity to spend some time outside with friends that we hadn't seen in a while. Samantha did wonderful (I am convinced that she was trying to be on her best behavior for some reason). She took naps regularly (which surprised me because we were away from home in a completely different environment) and she almost slept through the night (from 8:30 pm to 4 am). She regularly sleeps through the night here, but as I mentioned, this was a new experience for her. After feeding her at 4 am, I expected her to wake up at her normal time (around 7 am), but she surprised me AGAIN by sleeping in a little. What a good little girl!

Playing in the sand (she also tried to eat some of it)

We went for a boat ride after dinner and we were required by law to put Sam in a life jacket. This was her first time ever on a boat ... and in a life jacket. She hated it! I think that she might have enjoyed the ride without the jacket, but obviously, we wanted to obey the law and more importantly, we wanted to keep her safe. She cried the whole time ... Once we got back to the cottage and I took the jacket off, she calmed right now. Maybe when she is a little bigger, she will be able to adjust a little better to the tightness and constriction of the life jacket.
