After a busy week and weekend, we decided to do something very laid back and peaceful. We took Carter out to Big Creek State Park, 10 minutes north near Polk City. We packed a picnic lunch and Carter's swim suit, too. We had a tasty lunch in the beautiful, sunny day. Then we rented a canoe and hit the water. Carter loved it! She really did a great job listening to our rules to stay safe. She was very interested in paddling and observing the lake. She was all smiles! We came back to dry land, and Carter got to swim in the lake for a bit. She did great ... until it was time to leave. Her listening ears must have had water in them!
Carter was all sorts of crazy when we left home. But, somehow, being at the lake totally brought on this great, peaceful calm. Even she noticed: "Mommy, I'm really being calm." Insightful!

Carter and Mommy, boating fools
Playing in the sand - is it any surprise she loves this?!
