Off to the Lake we went again the first week of August. Johnny & Josh flew in from Phoenix for the annual event. It' s hard to believe that I have been going to the lake with my fam every summer since my junior year of high school. Brett & I were just starting to take notice of each other back then, and look at us now!!
Each of us has to take charge of cooking 1 evening meal during the week. Here's Brett trying to work his magic with the charcoal grill. I think we all gained 5-10 lbs. by the time the trip was over. Back to running I go!!!
My Aunt Cindy has been joining us for the last few years. She is such a spark plug and full of fun! We love having her!!
The Lake water was wonderful! Will has finally reached a whopping 27 lbs.....enough to keep his life jacket from tipping him over. He had a blast swimming with his uncles.
We decided to do a little putt putt golfing one night. It was SO HOT AND MUGGY that night that my camera was fogged over the whole time. Brett was really trying to teach the kids to NOT swing the club like a baseball bat, but had little success. Practice, practice, practice.....
Kate was in the water every second she could. She is bound and determined to get on the swim team at the YMCA within the next yr. Brett worked with her every day and she made HUGE gains by the end of the week. She dropped the lifejacket and can swim the width of the pool by herself. Go Kate!!!
Will & Papa played a lot of cars during the trip. VROOM VROOM!!! was all we heard out of this little boy's mouth. He prefers to be called "Lightning McQueen" rather than Will and was always assigning various character names to all of us. Papa made him some wooden race tracks that he brought along. That and the lake was all he needed to make the trip great!
Brett and I both agree that this year was easier than last. The kiddos are a year older and a little bit more independent, thus a little less work for us! It was a great time together, and we admit there were a few tears on the way home after it was all over. Until next year!!
