Heading to the lake was a dream, as always. We were plagued by a couple of days of heavy rain but we managed to tough it out and enjoyed lovely weather for the remainder of the holiday. Flora was a trouper. She still tents like a dream, being able to play around on her own until she was ready to fall asleep in whatever corner she happened to be in seemed to work for her. She did take an awful lot of time to get there some nights and Rich got to witness (through the screen door) the moment her eyes glazed over while playing with Nini and she fell over, fast asleep. We also watched as she slowly worked the zipper open by pushing it forward, then pulling back, pushing forward pulling back, each time sticking her hand out to see if she had enough room to get out. Eventually she had the zip open wide enough and her little face popped out. Best of all, even though she should have been going to sleep, she had her boots on over her pjs, ready for play! She wasn’t keen on the lake, she managed to get up to her mid-calf by the end of the holiday but it took a lot of persuading. Throwing rocks in or playing with her blow-up bug were favored options. It was great to have all the family around. Seeing all her cousins, aunts and uncles was a big treat. She calls Uncle Milt “Auntie Milk”...
