My parents came to town this weekend. We spent Friday night at our house, then Saturday morning we headed to our place in Missouri. Patrick’s parents met us there, and it was just the 7 of us. It was so nice to get away for a bit! When I’m at home, no matter how empty our “social calendar” is, I constantly feel like I need to be doing something…..laundry, dishes, cleaning closets, etc. At Spring Lakes, we don’t even have cell phone service, so we are literally cut off from the outside world. It’s a really good feeling every now and then!
Cole was a little disappointed that the paddle boat was full of water. We turned it upside down to drain it, so hopefully next time it will be good to go

Daddy’s BIG catch of the day

I hope this little guy wants to fish with me when he’s 30 years old
…..
Nana and Papa…..
Going in the canoe with Nana and Papa…..feeling confident…..
Now looking a little concerned
…..
Lucy and Elizabeth even had fun
…..
I was killing 2 birds with 1 stone, watching the Hog game and and watching Cole fish with Nana and Papa
…..
You can’t tell by looking at her, but Elizabeth isn’t the smartest dog
, so we were worried that she might run off. I told my mom that if she went “missing” we needed a picture of her to make posters, so this is her best profile pic
…..
Playing golf with Papa…..
My main fisherman
…..
The Hog game got a little intense, so fishing came to a halt! I must mention that the Hogs WON!!!!!…..
Bud, the pyromaniac, got the fire going
