At the Lake

Saturday afternoon we picked up our rental van at the airport and drove the 3.5 hours to our reunion location. Each of my siblings is in charge of cooking all the meals for one day (our day was Sunday) so we stopped at the Super Wal-Mart closest to the lodge to pick up all our food. I was hoping we could get in and out in an hour. Nearly two hours later and spending more money on groceries than we ever have before... we were back on the road. Since Sunday was our cooking day we spent most of the day in the kitchen either cooking or cleaning up, but now we get to enjoy the rest of the week having all of our meals prepared for us. Yum, yum.

Yesterday was the first day the girls we able to go out on the lake. We have a fun trampoline on the water that the kids have loved jumping off of. Abigail didn't hesitate to take the plunge...


Carly had second thoughts once she started sliding down...


Justin had a hard time even getting on it.


There's also a paddleboat and fishing boat that we can use during the week.

Check out the rust color of the lake...

Last night we bundled up (not that it's cold, but the mosquitos are savages here) and had smores by the campfire... delicious! I also saw my first fireflies... they are awesome, but impossible to take a picture of.

That looks like too much fun. It must have been hilarious watching Justin get up on that trampoline. Looks like the reunion was a thumbs up!

Fireflies are cool, I have only seen them a couple of times...in Baltimore on business trips. I so wish we had them out here! Glad you are having fun at your reunion!
