2014 Lake Season

I didn't forget I have a blog, I promise.  Sometimes I just don't have time to edit photos, load them and ramble a little bit.  I mean with all of the soap opera watching and bon-bon eating I do during the day, I just can't always take a break to blog.  I have some great pictures from our lake adventures from last summer that I never posted and since it's coldish here in TN and really coldish and snowy in MA where my niece and nephews live, I thought I'd pay homage to the sunshine.  Enjoy...and stay warm!

 This was probably the last year we can tuck her in her old car seat and hide her in the shade for a nap.  I imagine 2 year old Sage might be a bit more difficult than 1 year old Sage on the boat.

 Dakota is the best big sister.  She has not tired of her job yet and continually cares for her little sister like Sage was her own child.

 This man is the best daddy.

 Still not amused with this life jacket.  Hopefully she'll be big enough for a different kind next summer.

 I promise he likes tubing :)

 Our friends Wyatt and Brian

 Dakota and Hannah

 Our sweet friend Jenna who I have posted about before.  She got engaged and is going to be leaving us.  I'm still in denial.

 I love these boys.  This is the summer Corban learned to wake board with Jacob.  Is it me or does Jacob look a little like Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog?

 These kids have the prettiest boat hair.  Wish mine looked like that after a day of sun and wind.

 Last boating day of the summer was a bit cooler than we hoped.  I think Jacob skied once and then we called it a day.

 Lollipops are always a win when you are cold.

Might have been too cold to play in the water but at least we got to do some bird watching!

2013 Lake Days

Summer is officially over and we certainly enjoyed our Saturdays at the lake this year.  I think we had around 10 outings and every one of them brought some type of adventure.  Last year we tried out a few different lakes but this year we decided to settle on Beech Lake as our go to.  It's only a little over an hour from the house and it's not too big so it limits the crazies.  I've already shared our first two trips of 2013 here and here but enjoy the following snapshots of a summer well lived while I massage my neck from the whiplash Jacob gave me on Saturday.  I think he needed to throw me off the tube at least once before we winterize the boat.  I'll get him back next year...

 So, this particular day was a Sunday and we headed to Horseshoe Lake after church.  Jacob forgot to bring extra shoes and shirt for after the lake.  It was dinnertime and we stopped at Cracker Barrel before coming home.  No shirt.  No shoes.  No Service.  Guess this outfit will have to do!
