First picnic at the lakehouse!!!

My parents are in the process of buying this house on Lake Carnico in Carlisle...37 miles from our doorstep in Lexington (north east of us). So they'll spend half the year here and half the year in Arizona! Whoo hoo to that! My dad says he's going to tell people that his summer house is 20 miles north of Paris (he'll just leave out the KY part). Anyway, Josh and Katelyn and I drove out there tonight...because it's beautiful out...and we decided to have a picnic in the backyard. So much fun! Katelyn LOVED it. She sat and played in the dirt... ...took in scenic views...
...watched daddy eat a cheeseburger (I think she thought that was better than her peas) and dream about fishing....
...sat in her booster seat and wanted to play in the dirt, watch the birds and point at the trees (I think we got some food in her)...
...looked in the water...of course wanting to touch it...what a great big bathtub this place has...
....and of course played in the dirt some more as daddy scoped out a flat spot for a potential swing or picnic table (we're taking over already).

We can't wait until all of us can be out there to enjoy it. I think Josh, my brother and another friend of theirs are going out there again tomorrow to go fishing. We did see several fish jump out of the water tonight. Josh's eyes got real big....he approves of the new digs.
