Lake Day 2017

First of all, I want to wish my dad a very happy birthday! 

If you have the pleasure of knowing my dad then you know he is one of a kind. He is truly the BEST person on the planet. I know I'm incredibly biased but ask anyone who knows him, they'll agree. 

Happy Birthday Peege! Love you!

Over the weekend we had our annual lake day down at Paulette's house. The Sasses talk about this day all year round. It truly is the best day of the year (a tie with the 4th of July). Lot's of boating, lots of swimming, lots of skiing and tubing, lots of relaxing, lots of AMAZING food. SO MUCH FUN.

Kensington LOVES the lake. She was adamant that she would run up and down the dock. Which was obviously not the smartest idea. We kept telling her "slow slow", but you know two year olds. They are determined. At one point she went to turn around, lost her balance and fell straight back into the water. She had her life jacket on, so she was fine. After the immediate shock of it all she recovered pretty quickly and was back to wanting to run. Meanwhile, Mike and I were all shooken up. Isn't that always the way?

My boys <3 <3

Uncle Jim and Emily came too!

That's my Uncle Steve's dog, Allie, back there. She is so protective of the kids. Every time one of them would swim out past her liking she would bark and bark until they came back in. It was so cute! Our own private lifeguard.

My cautious Kamryn. We finally got her to go on the boat for the last run of the night and she LOVED it! I'm so happy she did it and liked it because leading up to it she wanted nothing to do with it. I knew she'd love it if she just did it, it was just getting her out there. Now nothing is going to hold her back!!

Meanwhile, Logan and Kensington couldn't get enough of the boat. 

Time out --- with Pappi and Uncle Zacky. HA!

We got a chance to celebrate Pappi's birthday, too.

We spent the entire day there, changed the kids into their pj's and it was right to bed when we got home. Tenley slept until after 10 the next morning. I think she was tired!! LOL!

Thank you Paulette for a great day!! Trust me when I say the Sass kids are going to be counting down the days until they can do this again next year!

What a great way to wrap up out summer. The kids start school next week and we're working on getting back into a good school routine. 

They got their postcards with their teachers names on them and they are super excited!!

Here we come kindergarten and 2nd grade!!!!
