labor day weekend at the lake

as you have noticed long weekend equals trip to the lake for our family, and labor day weekend was no different. we had the chance to spend time with both my family and mark's family. i will say once again what a blessing it is that both our families have lakehouses and they are so close. it is so great because it allows us to spend quality time with both. we did the normal lake things- playing on jet skis, swimming, boating, eating, relaxing, etc. i think my favorite part of the weekend was sarah (my sister in law) and i inviting our bible study friends to the lake for the day on saturday. we (the moms) get together on a regular basis, but we don't often get to be together with our entire families. on saturday their were lots of kids, 15 to be exact. they ranged in age from 5 and the youngest 3 months (jack). there were also dads, moms, 2 water slides, plenty of life jackets, sunscreen, hot dogs, hamburgers, and tons of yummy food. we had so much fun being together. in true olivia fashion, she did not really warm up to the idea of having so many kids around for a couple of hours, but eventually she came around and had fun.

don't let this picture fool you. olivia is wet, but not with lake water, just a small wading pool.

here she is "swimming."

it was a really fun weekend. we missed those who couldn't make it. i hope we can all get together again soon!
