We have wanted to go to a lake around here with the girls, but several of the ones that we have looked at have been flooded due to all of the rains and snow that Iowa has had this year so far. Danny checked into Gray’s Lake in Des Moines, and he decided that we should go. I am so glad that we went! It was a beautiful day – one of those that had little humidity and just a few high wispy clouds! It was fabulous.
Grace just loved the water. She was a little fish. She bravely went all the way up to her neck. She loved practicing swimming with daddy… being with him makes her so brave! J
Hannah wasn’t too sure about the whole adventure. She didn’t really care for the water—she only splashed a little, and she didn’t really care for the sand – it was hard and compact. Most of the “real” beach was underwater due to the flooding. Hannah just liked to explore a little, walk around a little, dig in the sand a little, put her feet in the water a little, etc. She was BUSY!
By the way… we were really near the airport so we were seeing and hearing these jets practicing… cool!
And one more thing... while we were eating there was another family that came to eat near us. They had twins -- a boy and a girl -- the same age as Hannah, but they were born at 24 weeks! YIKES! That is so early... I am over 25 now!!! The babies were not walking or talking... but they looked really good for all that they have been through! :) I will praise the Lord for every sleepless night and ache and pain...I know our son is in the best place for him now...just wait a few more months, baby, then we will see you!
