Beaver's Bend 2013

Two weekends ago we went on a fun weekend trip with some our dearest friends, Josh and Jill. Really they are practically family. No matter how long Jill and I have been apart we pick up as though we see each other daily. Their children, well they are the most beautiful, polite, little cuties ever. Barrett also got to get away with us for the weekend, so fun.

Thursday night we drove down to Jill's stomping grounds, near Beaver's Bend lake. It is beautiful, green, and relaxing. Of course when we go down there Jill's wonderful parents are willing to open their home to all of our crazy kids. Beth always has yummy food and makes us feel comfortable and at home. Friday we woke up and headed out for some fun in the sun on the lake. The men left early to place some golf, which was on the lake. We saw them on hole 16 and the kids got to wave hello to the dads. We tubed, skied, wake boarded, swam, and dodged some storms. It was so much fun. Both girls loved it.

(Daddy accidently took Lilah's car seat with him, so she got to use Addy's. She thought she was a big girl.)
 









 
After lots of lake time we went to eat at the Grateful Head, a local pizza joint.


(notice Addy's poor gums... The first 10 minutes we were there she and Jack were exploring/running. My graceful girl fell into a nightstand and scraped the gums up.)


 
Saturday morning I headed off to attend a funeral a few hours away. The drive was actually nice to have a few hours alone to think and enjoy the drive. Alone time rarely happens with two kiddos.
 

While I was away the rest of the crew enjoyed a giant inflatable pool, dirt bike, go cart, and a golf cart. When I got back I got to try out all of the motorized vehicles, let's just say Tim and I WANT a go cart, but might have to up our life insurance. Haha! We like to put the pedal to the medal and go wild.



 
That evening we ate dinner on the back deck and checked out some "stick walkers" as Addy called them.
 
Then headed to bed after a goodnight book from Uncle Josh.
 
Sunday we headed out for some more lake time.




 
Avery was in LOVE with Lilah. She is a little mommy! The whole weekend she was Lilah's babysitter. She ended up with $5! 
 
 
It was such a fun weekend. We left wanting to make it a yearly trip. I can't wait to do it again.
