Party time

Today, we went to the lake to visit some folks who were grilling, and then to a bridal shower. Lauren kept referring to these events as "birthday parties," and I think she was slightly disappointed that there was not a giant inflatable structure at each destination. However, they both realized quickly that the lake and shower afforded amenities that they could really appreciate. Specifically, a boat and yummy cake.

At the lake, the girls had their first boat ride. They were very cute in their little life vests, hair being blown, and I am very saddened to report that I failed to capture pictorial evidence of this moment. They had a wonderful time, fished briefly, and made two new friends. (Seriously, how did I not get a picture of them in the boat?)

Next, the bridal shower. Again, no pictures. By then, I had located the camera, but the batteries were not cooperating. They enjoyed some snacks (cake!) and visited with family. A couple of snaps from the iPhone:
