Dierkes Lake

Last weekend my mom came up for a cousin's wedding. Vaughn had a family reunion in Bountiful with his Hixson cousins, so it turned out to be a girls only weekend! We always love when my mom comes up and we wish she would do it more often!! (Wink wink!) She brought up my niece, Breana, so we decided to take the girls to Dierkes Lake. The weather was perfect for it and I think they both had a blast! 

Sam wasn't too sure about the water. She would walk up to the edge and dip her toe.


Then she'd turn around and walk back. I can't even count how many times she did this! Finally, my mom had to pick her up and carry her out into the water.


It took her a while to get used to the water, but once she was, oh man! 


We tried giving her her water bottle, but it was no use. She was set on sucking water off of her life jacket. Yuck.


She loved the sand! 



She played so hard while we were there! She was definitely ready for bed that night.


She loved having Breana here to read her stories. Every chance she got she would find a book and take it her. They sat in this chair a lot!!

Saturday was my cousin's wedding, so my mom was gone for a while with that. Sam and I were asked to help at the wedding breakfast and that was fun! I was worried about Sam causing trouble or making a scene, but she was pretty well behaved! 

Later that night we went to the reception and then stopped for ice cream on our way back home. 


She made a huge mess, but loved every minute of it!
