To the Lake ...


Three Amigos, originally uploaded by cheryl.

The rest of our Labor Day weekend was spent at the lake with Grandma and Grandpa (and also Uncle Brian and Cousins Austin and Kyndal)! We also wished Grandma a belated happy birthday (it was yesterday)!

We arrived early Sunday morning. Mommy slept most of the first day away, trying to recover from her long work weekend. Connor joined Grandpa, Uncle Brian and Austin and Kyndal on the boat. Grandma kept the twins at the house while I was catching up on some much needed sleep.

Unfortunately, Connor only got to spend one day with his cousins. Austin had a baseball game on Sunday night, so they headed out late Sunday afternoon to get back home for baseball. We still had another day, because we opted out of Connor's t-ball practice on Sunday afternoon (and told the coach that we wouldn't be there last week after Connor's game).

Last night we enjoyed steaks on the grill and even got to try out Grandpa's new fire pit - our first ever campfire since they moved to the cabin. We used to have them all summer long at the lake when we were using the camper, and last night's weather was perfect to sit around a camp fire!

Today we slept in, spent several hours on the lake soaking up the sun and water, grilled out again for dinner and then headed back home. No one wanted to leave, especially Connor. He kept telling us he didn't have school tomorrow, that he wanted to stay a few more days. Poor kid, it's a rough life ...
