While we were gone, one of my most giant sadnesses was our kids not getting to grow up going to the lake every few weekends in the summer. Therefore, it's one of the biggest highlights of being back, and Memorial Day was the kickoff of our summer of happiness at the lake.
We loaded the whole team up and hit the road.
And landed amongst a gaggle of cousins and aunts and uncles and spiders. We kept the cuddling to things with only two legs.
We got to eat at some of our local favorites.
And play at our local beach.
And there was plenty of fraternizing with the locals as well. (I love how Grandma and Mark are hugging and Reese is clinging on, too.)
Beach bum.
Have I ever mentioned the impossibility of decent pictures? I won't talk about it again.
I'll just show you.
Late night Monopoly. (I'm a huge supporter of this because a)I hate Monopoly and b)I love going to bed. It's a win/win for me.)
Lemonade at Grandma's...
More of the gaggle.
Family meals.
And the traditional Monday hot dog roast.
We are in love with Glen Lake and so thankful to be back to enjoy it. Yay summeR!!!!!
