MEMORIAL WEEKEND

For Memorial weekend we went to the Lakehouse to hang with Nana and Papa, Edgrens (Brad, Rach and kids) their friends the Suttons and of course the Taylors. We were planning or I guess at least hoping for great boating weather(which is what we packed for), instead we got cold, cloudy skies and scattered showers. But did that stop us?.....Well yes, some of us. Follow below to see what you do at the lake when it's raining! Don't forget check out some of the video clips!

Well... you still go boating... dressed a little warmer!

And of course if there is boating, there must be tubing... or tube surfing...

But then you get cold, so you have to find places to get warm again. Hailey and Drew buddied up quick as they cuddled up under the drivers seat by the heater. Jade, Cambrie and Cole found another spot that was tucked away from the cold. Check out the clip...

As the crazies filed off the boat Drew showed Hailey how he keeps warm...

This is a must see!

If you are crazy enough to stay outside... there is still fishing, playing in the water,

and playing in the sand building forts!

Rachel shows the other end of the spectrum of what you can do... Most of the parents stayed huddled up on the deck watching and waiting/hoping the kids would say they were cold so we could all go inside. We had no such luck. Just look at them go, they were everywhere!

Although later we did find that were was still fun stuff to do inside... like playing pool,

or playing air hockey, or cuddling up for a movie with friends. (I don't think I've ever seen as many Diego's as I did this weekend!)

On Monday, the last day of the vacation, the sun actually decided to come out, so of course we had to take advantage of it!!!

The kids went digging, fishing and playing in the sand, Cole even made Jade into a Mermaid!

They enjoyed chips and salsa out on the dock, (it had the most sun)

Overall I think we still had a great time rain or shine. It was a lot of fun to be with our family and friends/cousins (ha/ha) I know my kids really look forward to the times we get to hang with the Edgren kids. They still aren't quite sure of the relation between them. To help clarify let me quote Cole-

Cole: "Dad are we cousins or just friends"

Brad: "Kinda both"

Cole: "O.K."

Well that really cleared things up, thanks Brad...

Thanks again to all for the fun time! We hope to see you again real soon!
