We had a fabulous time this past weekend up at the lake with my parents. It was filled with food, camp fires, fishing, water fun and of course lots of laughs! Adam decided to take Fri off so we got a good start on our almost 4 hr drive. We arrived in time for me to prep our foil dinners for supper and get things all unpacked for the weekend. So much work, but worth it! I enlisted one of the guys to make a fire and cook up our dinners. I don't do that part! Mary, my dad, Aaron, my Adam, the kids and I all enjoyed supper around the fire. YUM!! I've been craving those dinners lately and they totally hit the spot! We then of course whipped up a couple s'mores and called it a night.
Saturday we did some fishing while Gma and Gpa stayed back with Rex so he could take his morning nap. We caught some fish and Makenna LOVED it! She had the best expression when Adam cast her line in the water and told her to watch her bobber and tell him when it went down under the water. Not 2 seconds later she said "daddy it went down" and they reeled in her first real "catch" - oh how excited she was! You can totally tell by the expression on her face in the picture. :) Later that afternoon we all went out to find a beach to pull up to and play. Adam wandered off to fish along the shore and the rest of us played with the kiddos. Makenna had a great time with her uncle Aaron! She is at such a fun age for playing! Rex enjoyed the sandy beach, rocks, and sticks that he found. He's such a boy. Later that afternoon the guys went out in search of more fish but didn't end up getting enough for supper so we went out to R & R to eat. Another camp fire that night and the kids retired for bed before it got too late. Fun in the sun sure wears them out!
We had another nice day on Sunday. Made a yummy brunch and Adam, gma and gpa took Makenna out on a little fishing expedition. Aaron and i stayed back with Rex and weeded the entire front flower garden that was crazy full of weeds! Later in the afternoon we took the boat out in search of another beach to play at for a bit but the wind was so strong out there that the water was up too high on the sand and there would have been no spot for us to hang out without being in the water. So change of plans and we ended up going back to the house and packing up to head home.
Of course the weekend always seems too short but it certainly was perfect this time with the weather. We couldn't have asked for more perfect temperatures! We'll be back again in mid July when Lauren and Jake are back in town. So excited to spend time with the whole family!
