Another Weekend at the Lake!

This past weekend we were invited down to our friend Joe's lake house.  He was crazy and invited our friends Crystal & Tristan and us along with the little guys, Landen & Brennen.  Joe had to work all day Friday but the rest of us were off early so we headed down Friday afternoon and got all our baby gear unpacked and organized before Joe could see the 4-5 trips of "necessities" we had to bring with us ;) Crystal and I were talking about how traveling with 2-year-olds it doesn't matter if you're going for a few days or weeks, you have to pack all the same stuff, just in case you need it! 

Friday night we just hung out at the house and made dinner and let the boys play together.  They hadn't been together in awhile and they had an absolute blast getting to spend the entire weekend playing!  I have to give credit to Crystal for all the wonderful pictures!  The lens on my camera broke over Memorial Day weekend, so I have had to send it in to be fixed :(  Some of the pictures are from my iPhone, but the good ones are from her.  Thanks Crystal!

Having a picnic dinner

Best Buddies!

The guys grilled and built a fire which was a perfect end to the evening once the little guys were in bed.

Pretty much the only reason I like camp fires. Yum!

Saturday morning was a little chilly, so we made some breakfast and let the boys play around the house. Crystal had bought the boys matching PJ's for the trip. Aren't they just adorable!

Blowing bubbles!

We then decided to head out for a short boat ride.  Crystal and I didn't even bother putting our suits on since it was so early and we thought we'd be back before heading out to grab some lunch. Well, it was so beautiful out that we ended up taking a long boat ride, Tristan wake boarded and then we stopped at Coconuts to have lunch on the way back to Joe's house.  We all had so much fun.  Coconuts is an awesome place with a gorgeous swimming pool, swim-up bar, sand volleyball, beach area and a great kids play area.  The food was really good and it feels like you are at a nice resort.  The weather was absolutely perfect!  The sun was warm, but there was a cool breeze that kept it very comfortable.

Potty training on a boat!

The boys kept themselves busy with the ice bucket from their Daddy's beers while we finished up lunch!

The boys had both fallen asleep on the morning boat ride, so when we got back to Joe's after lunch Crystal and I both attempted to put the boys down for their naps with no success. Not because they weren't tired, but I think they both thought they would miss too much fun if they fell asleep.  We decided that we needed to go back out on the boat and they would probably both crash.  Well, that was the ticket!  Ryan, Joe & Tristan went tubing and Brennen and Landen both ended up falling asleep for close to an hour while we cruised around on the boat. It was such a perfect day!   

That night we made dinner, got the boys showered and let them watch a movie before they went to bed.  We were all exhausted from such a wonderful day!

Too much cuteness!!

Sunday we woke up to cloudy skies and rain so we cleaned up and headed back home pretty early.  We were hoping for one more boat ride, but it was nice to get home early enough to still have the evening to enjoy.

It was such a wonderful weekend with great company!  Can't wait to hopefully do it again :)
