Labor Day Weekend at the lake

So I am starting to think that Labor Day weekend at the lake is now a Silver family tradition. We have been doing it for the last couple of years, and it seems that this is one time where we actually get everyone together. This year Janell and Ryan came out even earlier to be able to spend more time with the family. Jayleen was working for my Dad this summer so she was already at the lake. Since my kids were off track I headed up to the lake as soon as everyone was there, and Brian cam up after work on Friday. The lake was awesome as always, but what made this trip so great was being with family. The only bad part about it all was that after you have so much fun hanging out with everyone, it makes you miss them even more when everyone goes home. Besides lying around sun bathing, playing on the tramp and in the water, the only other thing we really put any effort into was eating, and boy did we eat! We figured out at the end that my Dad had spent over $100. in ice cream alone. We ate it after almost every meal and before some as well. That’s not even counting Dad’s special shakes! The meals we had weren’t bad either. Why is it that every thing tastes better when you’re on vacation? We would stuff ourselves full and then go layout on the deck and watch the kids play and swim. Then it seemed like there was always someone bringing down more food. You couldn’t get away from it. At least we were all miserable together.
