Our Week at the Lake

Sunday, June 28~Today, we got up and headed to see Nana, Poppy, Uncle Matt, and the rest of the crew at Charlotte. We hadn't seen Poppy in almost nine months and we were all eager to get together. We enjoyed a nice lunch and played for a while. When we left, we met Rachel, Bryan, and Abbi in town there to head to the lake. When we got there, we popped up the camper and then headed to the trailer to stay. We attempted to roast hot dogs and marshmallows but the fire was too hot and we were too hungry to wait so we had microwave dogs, lol. The biggest task of the day was for Bryan to find a roaster for the world's smallest marshmallow roast, HA!

Monday, June 29~This morning we got up and headed out on the lake right after breakfast. We packed a lunch and we were off. We spent several hours riding, tubing, and eating. Abbi really liked riding the tube! We caught a quick nap and then went back out for an evening ride. When we got in we cooked enchiladas and burritos. Zeke and Abbi must have had a plan, because they both refused to go to sleep until well after 10! That wouldn't be so bad, except we started trying at 8!

Tuesday, June 30~We got up today and cleaned a bit and then headed out for a cloudy day. It started to rain so we headed over to camp to see if it was raining at the camper. It was on its way, so Bryan, Rachel, and Abbi headed home. We headed to Heber to run from the rain. We ate at Pizza Hut and got some snacks at Walmart and then headed back to start our first camp adventure.

Wednesday, July 1~Today, Grandma, Grandpa and Travis joined us for a day of boating and grilling! Zeke really enjoyed sleeping with Grandpa and swimming with Grandma and Travis! His fav part of the day was getting to see the fish when they took him to the docs. Emma came over to see us today also (oh yea and Gin and Jack too, ha). She was riding her tube too, Go Em! We had a really fun day with family!

Thursday, July 2~Today, we headed to Charlotte to visit again. Courtney and Grace were there and the kids got to play a little. They really loved playing outside with Poppy and Nana. We had so much fun visiting, so sad to see them go! When we got back to camp, we cooked and then built a fire. This was Zeke's first campfire and marshmallow roast. He really liked the marshmallows, when it got messy and we cleaned him up he screamed so loudly. It was so funny to see him get that upset

Friday, July 3~No company, no trips, whatever will we do? We managed to get in some much needed quality time, just the three of us. We spent the day boating, napping, reading, playing ladder ball, cooking, and just loving being together. It was a blast! We celebrated the fourth today......by going to the fireworks show. We met Mom and Don there and she watched Zeke swim a while. They went back up to watch from shore while we watched from the boat! Zeke enjoyed them a little at a time. He would watch and then get sleepy! It was cute!

Saturday, July 4~Today, we came home from a long week! We had many visitors when we got home--Papaw, Meme, the girls, Grandma, and Uncle Travis. We had lots of fun playing! What a wonderful week, seeing all our family and enjoying the lake! So sad to see it go!!!
