Lucy's first birthday, Lucy's first time at the lake, in the lake and on the boat. I was fully anticipating her LOVING the water since she LOVES getting a bath, but no quite the opposite. She went in the water three times, once on her own and the other two times with a little help. The first time I threw in her tennis ball and she jumped in right after it, but as soon as she realized she couldn't touch the bottom she PANICKED!! She was clawing at the dock trying to get out, and completely forgot all about the ball (which is a big deal for her to forget about a ball, its all she ever thinks about), Grandbud had to show her to swim to the rocks and climb out that way. So, everyone thinks if I get in the lake she'll just jump right in after me, oh contrare...so Mom pushes her in (yes, can you believe it, Debs did the dirty work!!!) and this time she swims over to me and let's just say it was a near death situation people...good thing she only weighs 52 pounds! The third time Brad threw her in and it was just as before, she wanted the heck out of there! After the third time of her acting like a cat instead of a Labrador Retriever, Brad looks at Lucy with the most serious face and says "Lucy, you're embarrassing me girl." Poor Brad, it was like we had taken a kid to a soccer practice and they wouldn't participate or something.
On a better note as parents of Lucy...she did ride all the way down and back without having an accident in the car or throwing up...YES!!! And she did LOVE LOVE LOVE the boat ride. She was a very good girl and even though she kind of embarrassed Brad I can't complain!! Here are some cute pictures from the weekend...
