Celebrating 80 Years With Grandad

Last weekend the Slimick/Hatfield crew all gathered (minus Aunt Sara who lives in California and was greatly missed!) at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia to celebrate Neal's grandfather's 80th birthday. Good times were had by all. Sophie finally rode in Papa's boat and got to swim in a lake for the first time ever and was an old pro by the time the weekend was over. Sophie caught her first fish with Papa, not sure who was prouder her or Papa! Neal and I went out on the boat with his Dad to do a little fishing and got stuck in the most torrential down pour ever! It was such a fun weekend we hated to see it come to an end.

So excited to be swimming "all by herself!"
