Back to the Lake

We got to spend another fun weekend at the lake. Everyone has such a good time when we go and the kids love getting to play in the water so much. None of them thought they needed sun screen this time and it was nice and toasty out so they are all at home covered in aloe now. I saw a few red buns yesterday and a couple of bright red faces. Maybe next time they will actually listen to us.
It was beautiful outside so we all got to get some time in the water. We have a lot of floaties so there is always something for everyone.

Sometimes you have to fight the kids for the fun stuff but they eventually give them up.

It was Pat and Matt's birthday's so we got to celebrate with both of them. Michelle made a cake and we got to have ice cream. It was really good!!!!!


The guys had a hard day on the dock.

We all went in and bought a new tube to tow behind the boat. You can get three people on it at a time. The kids really enjoyed it. They only got to make a couple of trips around the lake and then the boat broke down so Mike started pulling them with his little raft. It was pretty funny to watch.

Pat got his very own floaty for his birthday and it had a huge hole in it so Tony tried to melt it back together but it didn't work. I guess he will have something to look forward to next time when he replaces it for a new one.

Some of the kids. I think they are waiting for the cake and ice cream.

The snacks are always tasty. You can't go wrong with junk food.

Matt got some good presents. I think that he liked them all.

I think that Pat liked his gifts to. He got a lot of scratch tickets and only won on one of them. I hope he had fun scratching atleast.

Mike and Pat are taking a break. It was alot of work to set up the trailers.

It is always fun to just hang out by the camp fire. We never seem to run out of stuff to talk about.
We always have a good time. We really appreciate Michelle and Mark inviting us for the weekend. Hopefully we get to go back a couple more times this year. We need to use our new floaty some more!!!!!
