Family Time!

It has been at least 4 weeks since we have been to the lake. We have had birthday parties every weekend, and have not had the chance to get away, so this weekend was extra special for us! We love our little place on the water. When we are there it's as if time stands still....silly I know since it's just about and hour and a half from home. I think for us, it is a way to escape the everyday pressures and just relax. No beds to make, nothing to clean, no yard to mow, you get the idea! Our kids love it (all three of them) wink! It's like they have just stepped into the biggest candy store you can imagine, Riley's little face just lights up when she sees the water.

The weather could not have been more perfect....a little rain and a nice "cool" breeze with a high of about 86! We all went swimming, took a walk, saw some really BIG catfish, and turtles! Riley played in her first rain puddle, and discovered how cool it is to play in the mud! We danced and laughed and sang lots of songs! We ate....oh did we eat....some really great food, and made homemade chocolate ice cream! If you would have told me this is how my life would go, I'd have never believed it. It's too perfect, to grand, to wonderful! I have exceptionally fantastic children and a very special husband who makes me feel like the most important person in the world. I thank God daily for blessing me with this fabulous, love filled life! Like always I snapped a few photos....enjoy!
