Lake Weekend with our 'Crew'

Almost every year for the past 5 - 6 years (??), we've been taking a summer trip with this group of friends.  Usually we leave the kids at home but this year was a little different with so many new little ones so we decided to do a long weekend at the lake with the kids, too!  Unfortunately, Josh and Anise couldn't make it from Charleston with little Brooks but we managed to still have some fun!!  :-)

Kylie and I took off with Megan, Ryan and Peyton, Megan, and Jennie and Sam on Thursday night.  We got a bit of a late start and surprisingly, no one slept a whole lot on the way up there so it was quite the night.  I didn't get Kylie in bed until 11 and the other kids were up until almost 1am!  So Friday morning, we had a bit of a lazy morning at the house....


Kylie and Ryan having fun with Sam.

Playtime with the water table

Sam is getting so big!!
 Megan and I took Ryan, Peyton and Kylie down to the beach while Megan A,  Jennie and Sam went to the grocery store.



Lunch time!
The guys and Noah showed up just before dinnertime on Friday - Noah had an early release day from school so they came up when he got out.  Here come the blackmail pictures.....  :-)


I don't think Sam was sure about all if it.  :-)

Cory and Waylon with their boys - friends for many many years!!!
Love this pic - looks like such a happy family.  :-)
They will have a happy family soon though!  Megan is pregnant with a little boy, Tucker!!

I got some sweet Sam snuggles that night.
On Saturday, we did a lot of playing outside.  Since we had so many of us and quite a few little ones that might not be interested in the boat, we traded off beach and boat time throughout the day.  It was a good time!  Since I was mostly on the boat, driving, I took all the pictures there.

My arm is still injured from falling on it at the lake over a month ago (GRR), so I couldn't do the tube or the wakeboard so Kylie decided (after much thinking) that she wanted to go on the tube with Cory.  It was so cute seeing her out there with him, and she didn't want to stop!


See something funny here??  :-)  Kylie was pulling Dave on the tube!

Noah rode with Dave!

He wanted to swim back to the boat with Dave and Jason.  Took him a while but he did it. :-)

That night we grilled burgers and dogs.

Silly kiddos

The whole group (minus Waylon who was taking the picture)!
 Hanging out before bedtime on Saturday night....

Thought this was so cute.  Noah was just hanging on Waylon.

Jennie loves sugar so we loaded her up on her Strawberry Margarita.  :-)
Noah playing with Sam - have I mentioned that he loves babies!

Kisses!

Adorable Peyton

Sunday morning - bright and early!
The plan was to spend some time on the boat and/or beach on Sunday morning but the weather was not very nice so we packed up and got ready to go home.  We did take a quick trip to the gas station to get gas for the boat.  It was raining on us a little but the kids thought it was hilarious so that was fun!  :-)


Such a fun trip as always with that group.  It was fun to have the kids there though.  How things change over several years!  :-)

We missed you, Josh, Anise and Brooks!
