The weekend of May 7th we took a family vacation with my parents to Big Cedar Lodge at Table Rock Lake. The resort was beautiful and we had pretty good weather. It was a little cool, but at least it didn't rain on us.
Kinley is getting so independent and wants to walk everywhere by herself these days. She loved all the bridges at the lodge.
Kinley wasn't used to all the hills and did fall a couple of times on her walks, but for the most part she did really well and had a great time exploring her new environment.
There was lots of fun stuff for Kinley to do at the lodge. One of the first things we did was take her horse back riding.
Kinley wasn't too sure about this, but we gave it a try anyway.
She did great petting her horse.
But not so great when it came to actually riding the horse.
She was happy again once we let her run around on her own. At least she tried something new and cheers up quickly after it is over!
The lodge also had a little turtle pond with tons of turtles. Here is Kinley getting her chance to see the turtles with grandma.
Later on that weekend we rented a pontoon boat and hit the lake. Kinley is such a water baby. At the back of the boat helping grandpa drive.
Hanging out with grandma at the front of the boat and enjoying the view.
It was a little chilly on the boat, so we tried to hang out on the front of the boat where the sun was. Luckily we put sunscreen on Kinley's face, but since I was just trying to warm up in the sun (not tan) I didn't even think about putting sunscreen on me. Bad move. My pale skin was not used to any amount of sun and I got burned. Oh well, at least it was near the end of the trip anyway. Lesson learned.
Even with her sunscreen, Kinley ended up hurting worse than me after the boat ride. While we were on the boat Kinley took a spill and gave herself a pretty good fat lip. We were able to get her all cleaned up, gave her some ibuprofen and iced her lip. She was a trooper and daddy knew just how to make her feel better, Phineas and Ferb on the ipod until she fell asleep and took a nap on daddy's lap.
Overall a fun weekend. It is always nice to get away, even if it is just for a long weekend.

Seriously, you need to have a set of pictures where Kinley is happy, unsure and then crying! They are so funny! First the haircut series and now the horse series, this could be a great coffee table book! Thanks for the updates and pictures!
