A weekend at the Lake

So way back in January, our friends Luke and Brittany came to visit us.  They mentioned that Luke had some time off before he started residency, so if we wanted to we could come stay with them at Brittany's parents lake house.  Now, I know that an almost 12 hour ride for an extended weekend may seem like a lot to take on with a 2 year old, but these were the same friends who invited to their lake house back in 2011 when we took these pictures here and here.  And they also invited us to their place in Florida that same year.  Things to note about this walk down memory lane:

1) I still have the same bathing suit that I did 3 years ago.  Maybe it's time to do something about that ....
2) Can anyone believe that I am still blogging after all these years?  I know, me either.
3) We were much crazier in our younger years, aka pre-kids.
4) Brittany and her family are so. incredibly. generous.

We had such a great time at their lake house.  They already had plenty of  toys because Luke and Brittany take Lizzy there, so from the second we walked in to the minute we left Jake was constantly running from one new toy to the next.  As a matter of fact, he was so preoccupied with all the new toys that he didn't want to stop to eat... ever.  Let's just say that he takes after his father in that area ;)  During the weekend we grilled, attempted to go tubing with the kiddos which essentially consisted of us sitting with them in the tubes out in the middle of the lake, sat around and watched the World Cup, read, took naps, and just relaxed.  Oh, and did I mention that they had bowls full of M&M's and Gushers in multiple locations around their home?  It was a-mazing.  There is a reason I don't have these things in our house because I think I had almost 5 packs of Gushers a day.

Enjoy all the Kodak moments below :)  And a huge thanks to Brittany and Luke and their family for letting us stay with them!



Jake  is all about giving thumbs up these days.  The other day on our walk he decided to give a thumbs up to this high schooler getting in his car instead of waving.  Oh, this little man of ours.

Yes, this was our captain :)



The dads on Fathers day :)



This was the first picture I took of Jake on the boat.. he was a little unsure lol











This looks a lot crazier than it actually was.  I'm not even sure if the boat was moving...



In Lizzy's defense, the boat was moving at a slow pace here lol  Nonetheless I love this shot :)
Dan and Brittany's mom!
I love this little face :)  Jake LOVED steering the boat.  All he wanted to do was drive and honk the horn lol



Lizzy was showing us a couple dance moves during breakfast
Their lake house coffee cake is amazing!


Lizzy was having a moment and we wanted to start taking pictures and calling them #reallife.  This was one of them lol

I think Lizzy was saying that the fish were all going "night night" because she couldn't see any of them lol



On our way home we stopped by Dan's parents house and took some pictures :)

Such a great weekend!
