A few weeks ago when we stayed with Aaron and Christina Davis in order to attend the William Gall baby funeral, they showed us their new place on the lake, and suggested we find a weekend we could hang out together there. We took the next week texting back and forth a few dates, and agreed on June 24-26.
We drove up Thurs evening and stayed at their house (they weren't even there, their older 3 kids were at LWBC and their younger 3 were with them at their lake house working on some improvements)...so Dave worked a full day at their house using their internet, and I met up with Dave's cousin Sara and her daughter Evie at a park. We let the kiddos all play and caught up with how she was doing after losing William. Such a difficult time.

Evie "wore out all the kids!" - she's a bright, funny, energetic little girl!

We met Aaron and Christina at their lake house Friday evening at 5:00 pm and they had a spread of tacos ready for dinner! They have 6 children so there were plenty of play buddies available.
The weekend schedule was pretty relaxed ~ everybody kinda did what they wanted in the water and relaxed by the shore. Lots of boating. I water-skiied, Dave wake-boarded, Violet tubed and tried waterskiing for the first time (5 attempts, got up the last try and skiied for about 10 seconds!! - so fun to see her do this!), Calvin, Vanessa and Eli stuck to the tubes.
Lots of sunscreen, lots of food, lots of laughs, devotion time worshiping God together (I brought my guitar and played some music). One night after all the kids were in bed, the adults took the boat out in the middle of the lake and stared at the stars. It was a crystal clear night - so beautiful!

No lack of fun and friendship! Glad you were able to jump into their weekend at the lake.
