Lake Days

On Memorial Day we drove to our friends the Blankenship’s in western Virginia. This if the third time we have been there if I am counting right.  They seem to still like us in spite of our children pooping in their house or random places.  That is the running joke at least.  This time there were no accidents thank goodness.  Instead we just had a wonderful time being surrounded by God’s beauty while the guys “worked.” They really did work but it was the type of work included guns and wake surfing, so, not a bad day at the office for them! I didn’t bring my camera on the boat so I don’t have any proof.  Bradley got a chance at riding the tube behind the boat which he loves doing.  Gavin tried it this time with Daddy but cried still. 

The kids were completely wore out the first night. 

 

These kids have a pretty sweet view for baseball in their front yard. 

Easton as our dog lover just hung close to Abby soaking in the life as well.

 

 

One afternoon, Jen forced me to take a break.  She watched the boys while I went to the downtown historic Inn and Spa.  The Martha Washington.  There is so much history in the town they live in.  I got a massage and a pedicure (which I messed up within an hour and fixed once I got home).  It was a wonderful treat to have a chance to relax.  That night it got even better.  We got a sitter and went to dinner! I was so blessed and spoiled that day!

One evening we went to Taylor’s baseball game.  The boys had a great time cheering him on and eating concession food of course!

 

The days were so much fun and the nights ended all the same.  The kids all sleeping on the couch watching the Lorax while the parents hung out.

We came home on Thursday and Bradley missed a few days of school for this adventure but he was back on Friday.  That Saturday was another fun time.  We went with our Hart friends.  Brian, Becky and Carter to the Pinehurst Lake. 

Gavin was having such a blast on this boogy board.  The force of the water when he would dive one it kept making his swim trunks fall down.  I see a hiney all white and shiny!

  

Bradley enjoyed being tossed into the water by Mr.. Brian. 

Easty Bubbas did a lot of this! He just loved hanging out in water and we almost were packing up to leave because he had a melt down since it was going into nap time.  Daddy held him and he fell asleep a minute later in his arms.  Still a true Daddy’s boy!

 

I got to hang out with these two bathing beauties.  Manda and Ducky. 

It was another fun day in the sunshine with our friends.
