Lake Day with Friends and Family

Thursday morning we headed to our family friends' new house at the lake. Since we had been there last year, their old house had been knocked down and new one was built. We've gone up the last couple of summers, so Analise knew what to look forward to. This year though, was different. Peg and Danny were able to join us (yeah) and also my good friend, L, who was always like an older sister to me. With our families being such good friends, we grew up together. She now lives 24 hours away from me, and I haven't seen her in years. She told me back in Feb. when they were going to be home this summer, so we chose to come home so we could see them. Her husband, G, is also an engineer from CU and a also fisherman, so he and Brandon have a lot of fun together. Their kids are close in age to ours, so that was fun, too.

G took Analise and L on the jet ski.

 Aunt Peg and Analise had fun in the water together.

Sadie sat on the dock and kicked her feet in the water.

Maisie finally got in and walked around. See that white float? I remember playing on that when I was a kid.

Analise jumped off the boat into the water.  Fun!

Brandon borrowed G's kayak and took each of the girls for a ride.

Me and L

It was one of the those days where I was so thankful - for good weather, good health and sweet times with family and friends. I didn't want the day to end. I know if we lived closer, we'd be spending lots of time together. And we vowed to not let so much time pass before seeing each other again.
