This past weekend, we were very blessed to have a friend offer their lake house to us for a few days. This is probably one of the most wonderful family vacations we have ever taken. We went there two years ago, and I swear, the kids remember EVERY minute of their time at this place. They swam in the lake from the minute they got up to when they were down in bed. This time we remembered to bring our fishing poles and were able to catch some fish as well. I have to upload those pictures off of my new phone!! (total side note: I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!)
ANYWAY! We went out on the lake a couple of times, letting the kids look around at the amazing scenery. The mountains were beautiful and they had those picture perfect clouds topping them. I am pretty sure they didn't really watch TV for more than an hour the entire time we were up there, and they didn't even ASK to watch it either. Even though Teddy wouldn't jump off the dock, he was able to play in the water a little bit. He EVEN caught a fish. I wasn't able to get a picture of that because while I was asking to take a picture, he was busy knocking the tar out of it to get it off his rod. He succeeded, and Gary said he even saw the fish with the hook and weight swimming under him later that day! Poor fish.
Needless to say, it was a great time, and well worth the sleepless travels. (we got there at 11:30pm Thursday, and got back to Pawleys at 11pm Saturday!!) Even though our time was short, we are incredibly grateful and feel very blessed to have spent that time making wonderful memories with our kids.
