Redfish 2015

Redfish is a vacation I look forward to every year.  There is something so fun about traditions having the family all there and being in a place so beautiful.  We were excited to bring Liam this time! He just turned 4 months old!  We had his check up the Friday before we left.  He is still super tall 26.5" and is in the 94 percentile!  His weight is average at 14.1 lbs and is in the 48 percentile.  I have to say Redfish was a LOT more stressful for me, but I am still glad we got to introduce him to one of our favorite places! He also got to meet a lot of the family which was awesome!  We decided to go for a whole week!  He did awesome the first two days, then he got sick of the heat.  He didn't nap well and was pretty grumpy during the day.  It honestly broke my heart to hear him scream like that! We also think he is starting to teeth :( 
Sunday we got there and set up camp.
Monday we hit the beach! The lake is usually freezing so we brought Liam his own little pool

He was more interested in how it tasted than swimming ;)

Tuesday started with a hike to our favorite spot!

 

Then we hit the beach again!  One thing about the Lund's is they never get sick of the sun!  They soak it all up!

 

 

We got the okay to give him some solids from the doctor!   So we let him have some watermelon! He is loving exploring new foods as you can see

Wednesday started out with a little yoga on the beach, then more soaking up the sun

 

That night we started our community dinners. Everyone loved playing with Liam.  He would laugh every time Alexa sang Miss New Booty lol

 

We started out Thursday with some paddle boarding in the morning!  It was gorgeous and so peaceful since we beat the crowds.

Friday we got up early to hike the ridge.  We caught a boat to the other side of the lake, hiked to the lily ponds and waterfall, then hiked the ridge back to the lodge.  It was about 6.5 miles and took about 4 hours.  Liam didn't love the boat ride but he slept almost the whole hike!

Afterward we hit the beach again! Aunt Lisa, uncle Bill, and cousin Syd loved holding Liam

 

 

 That night, grandpa Lund told stories about where the Lund family came from and stories about his growing up.  The Lund's originated in Norway and Grandpa Lund was the first in his family to graduate college and go on a mission.  He had a scholarship for basketball, but didn't end up playing. 

He also told us stories about his mom Utahna. This is a picture of their first one room home where Grandpa was born.

He was exhausted and slept from 8:30 that night to 7:00 in the morning!  That is the first time he slept through the night!

 

Saturday was the 4th and we just spent the day at the beach.  That night we went to the firework show and Liam slept through the whole thing!  I think he was just exhausted at that point and sick of camping for the week!  The temp was in the 90's the whole week!

Ready for the fireworks!

 

I'm so glad we made it through the week!  It was nice to be with the fam and have lots of help when he was crying.  Johnna, Isabel and Alexa were so much help!  I can't wait for next year when he will be running around!  Crazy!
