As we've done in the past, we took an extra long trip to the lake to enjoy one last hurrah before school starts. August is such a fun time to be at the lake. It tends to be a bit quieter and more relaxing. We soaked up the endless relaxation and hopefully it'll carry us through the hectic days to come when school starts!
Some highlights from this trip include the puppy playdate we had with two of Chief's litter mates. Chief, Gus, and Goby all swam and played like maniacs! It was so fun to see these little pups together. Another highlight was getting to have Nyla experience the lake for the first time. She might not be as much of a lake girl as I am, but she still seemed to enjoy it! We also loved getting to see Chief turn into even more of a water dog than he was earlier in the summer. This boy could honestly spend every waking moment in the water! A final highlight was getting to surprise the kids with a stop at the St. Louis Zoo on the way home. We were thrilled to find out that this zoo had red pandas, so we knew it would be worthwhile to stop (since Caleb is still obsessed)! The zoo was beautiful and we are so glad that we made a stop there! We also enjoyed getting to meet up with cousin Meredith and Aunt Sharon, who drove out to St. Louis to have lunch with us after the zoo. It was the perfect ending to a perfectly wonderful final vacation of the summer!
