Fun at the Lake!
Every summer, my family gets together for a weekend to relax, enjoy each other's company, eat yummy food, and celebrate "summer holidays". It ends up looking like Christmas in July! ("McCarthy Summer holidays" = birthdays & special days like Mother's/Father's Day that fall between January and October -- my family doesn't so much worry about the specific day but the celebration of the special occasion)
My older brother, Greg, and his wife, Angela, have a lake house on Lake Greenwood, so we have moved our summer get together to this little slice of heaven the last two summers. What fun we had, and it's a shame the weekend flew by so quickly! Greg and Angela are the most gracious of hosts, and we enjoy sitting and visiting with family members that we just don't get to see very often. It's fun to watch the kids play with each other while the adults commiserate.
We had lots of fun riding on the boat, playing in the water, tubing, riding the jet ski, and just relaxing in the water. Madeline loved her first boat ride. However, she was not a huge fan of the life vest, but once the wind was in her hair, she got over the stuffy life vest.
We have wonderful cooks in our family, so we always have delicious meals! Madeline enjoyed some tasty bites of junk food that she's never had before. She's a huge fan! She really enjoys Popsicles. Uncle Greg so kindly assisted her in eating it!
Some of us enjoyed the view, the breeze, the dock, and a good chair for some serious relaxation! Aunt Kim's, Uncle Pat's, or Grandma's lap also provided much relaxation for Madeline.
Cousins snuggled in the glider. Madeline's cousin, Drew, is so very sweet to her. He played with her, and he provided much entertainment for Madeline while he ran around the yard.
What an enjoyable weekend with the family! We already can't wait until next summer's adventures!
