Ladies at the lake…..

Last week I was able to get away for a few day and go to the lake with the ladies I have been doing this with for a few years now. Unfortunately the weather was cold and rainy so I do not have any nature pictures or lake pictures, however it did not dampen our spirits or ruin our time there. We have a blast. We ate (and drank) like queens, played games, read our books, did lots of visiting, went for walks, and went into town for a day and did some shopping... and who could forget those loons in the lake that one night?!! ;)

One night we went into the Angry Minnow microbrewery. What a fun place. Sue and I shared a flight of their micro brews.

Go figure the day we had to head out this is what it looked like. Oh well, we had such a wonderful time. Thank you ladies for always making it a fun get together. We all come from different walks in life, yet have a mutual respect for each other and enjoy each other's company. It is always so refreshing.

Lots to catch up on . We are finally home today getting caught up on stuff. I love this chair that my friend Dawn is graciously letting me borrow it and it has been a godsend. Lucas loves it and it really came in handy this weekend and week on our trip. He loves being able to sit up and be by his brothers. He is so close to sitting by himself. Thank you Dawn!

Saturday we spent all afternoon and evening at my Aunt Flory and Uncle Gary’s cabin. They invited the whole family (as in my dad’s 10 siblings, their kids and families!) and I don’t think they expected to get the turnout that they did. It was such a great day! The boys had a blast. There were lawn games, yummy food, lots of fun on the lake with tubing, swimming, volleyball, etc…, and then we had a fish fry to end the day. Thank you Flory, Gary, Brad, and Travis.

My dad and his dad, my grandpa.

I don’t know who had more fun, Matt or the kids. This tube rocked.

Here is the family that was there (we were missing two 11 siblings, and then about 8 -10 of my generation and their families were unable to make it). I being a part of a big family.

The fish fry set up. Quite the contraption he had.

What a great way to start off our holiday and trip.
