Memorial Day weekend 2011

Our first trip to "The Lakehouse" of the season!

We weren't sure it was going to happen. Scott's grandpa has been touch and go for some time now. But he is doing somewhat better. And therefore we were able to get away with his parents and his brother for the long weekend.

The kids were so excited for it! Ashley was the cutest looking forward to it. How can she even know what we were talking about. But she was excited to go!! She could just tell from all of us that wherever it was- it was going to be fun!

Well the weather wasn't cooperating. As we all know- rainy Sunday! But actually it didn't wash out our weekend at all! We got his parents boat in before the storm. And actually enjoyed the foggy morning outdoors. Mid day was rainy. But then it cleared up for some fishing and even a boat ride later that evening.

Zach was a crack up! He remembered everything! How? He was only 2 the last we were there! But as we pulled up he was asking about his fishing pole. That I had even forgotten that he had. And boy did that boy love "fishing". Jenna too! They really just fished the weekend away. Jenna caught quite a few. Scott was pretty funny trying to unhook and release the fish... I couldn't do it!! But luckily they have their wonderful expert fisherman, Uncle Mikey, to help bait, untangle, unhook and release, and even rebuild fishing poles for them!

And then Monday was a perfect beach morning. It really was just enough time there before the trip home.

It was great! We look forward to getting back out there soon!!


Me and my girls (and Ashleys perfect forehead... she fell and scraped it real good soon after this picture... but it is almost healed as I type this...)

They all took turns driving with Grandpa


Our little fisherman!



I just love the lighting of this one- the sun setting after a stormy day...


Ashley was just too adorable playing in the sand at the beach! (and bobo forehead)


They built an awesome castle!

Scott diving in to attempt to swim out to the raft... he turned around about half way- too cold!!!


The 3 together! So fun at the beach! We hope to be back soon! (and yes- that is sand by Ashleys mouth... apparently she still enjoys eating sand... Ugg!)
