I just have to say that we live for summer holidays at the lake house. It is pretty much the highlight of our summer. It has the making of awesome and fun memories for our family and especially for our kids. Swimming, boating, fishing, paddle boating, playing, getting dirty, walks, playing with cousins, s'mores, watching movies, playing games, staying up late...pretty much pure awesomeness. We can't wait to go back for the 4th of July.
Heading to the Lake House this weekend we were pretty sure it was going to be cold and wet, but to our surprise we woke up Saturday morning with sun shining through the fog on the lake. We just knew it was going to be a beautiful day, and sure enough it was amazing. Beautiful blue skies, not windy and warm...not what we were expecting and such a nice surprise.
We started out with some fishing...
This was the cutest moment...walking up from the dock T was chatting away to Oak and Oak kept responding with "yeah", "yes", "i know".
All the younger kids. Mac refused to come outside to play at this moment.
Cuteness!
The girls' "mud shop" has officially turned into a "gun shop". The older kids are officially too old for that stuff and the younger kids have taken it over.
Grandpa was having fun blowing bubbles with Oak.
A visit to the "secret island". A little spot that is hard to get to that the older kids have enjoyed for years. All the younger ones wanted to go see it.
And of course this is how my kids would end up getting anywhere near water. They just can't help themselves but get soaked.
Then Uncle J took them on a paddle boat ride. That thing rocks!
Cousins!
Oak LOVES worms! She had fun playing with them while the boys were fishing.
Then Uncle J made all the little kids bows and arrowns.
Lunch after a boat/tube ride.
A walk back from fishing at the other dock.
Oh this girl! Love her!
Then on to s'mores...two nights in a row.
I am so in love with this boy. That red hair gets me every time!
A bird had flown in to this bird house and we found he had made a nest.
Oak even got her toe and fingernails painted.
Just missing baby C! I love the photo bomb from Benji (the dog).
THe older kids are way too cool for silly faces.
More s'mores!
With eyelashes that long he better watch out or they might get stuck in his s'more.
And my first time playing Settlers of Catan.
Mac loved helping his cousin.
We can't wait for more fun in just a couple of weeks!
