Some pictures of the lake- they do not do it justice, but you can see that it is surrounded by hills and very tall trees.
The beautiful dress. And yes, Ainsley will walk if you hold her hands.

Ainsley was pretty good on the flight home - though not as good as the first time. She was pretty fussy on the first flight and let out some loud screams ( yikes). Again, I think she was tired more than uncomfortable, but hard to say. She fell asleep when we had a layover in Dallas and slept through most of the next flight.
We had a great vacation! We were able to relax and hang out with my parents and Ainsley. We lounged around on the boat, played tennis, read some books, and ate lots of good meals.
Ainsley was baptized by my Dad on Sunday- she wore my MIL's christening gown. It fit her beautifully and we were so happy to have such a special dress. The members of my Dad's church have been wonderful to my family- they love Ainsley and we have received numerous gifts from many of the members. They were SO EXCITED about the baptism it was amazing. On Friday, Dan, Ainsley and I went to visit the church ( they were having a huge garage sale). Everyone there said how excited they were about Sunday's big event. They also said how much they loved seeing the pictures of Ainsley. I email my parents weekly pictures and updates and apparently my Dad sends them to ALL of the church members with email addresses. I thought that was pretty funny. One of the ladies video taped the event for us, another person took pictures, and then they had two awesome cakes for celebration afterwards. The cakes were so good - they tasted better than most wedding cakes and were just as pretty!

Proud papa and grandpaDan and I had a big event too- we left Ainsley overnight for the first time. We went to a resort for dinner and stayed overnight in celebration of my birthday. It was a great restaurant with an awesome view of the lake and the grounds were just beautiful. We had a nice dinner and drank lots of wine- woohoo.

It was a wonderful trip for us and we were sad to come home.
