We just got back from our week-long trip to PeePaw and Grandma Beth's lake house in Virginia. While the weather definitely left something to be desired (I think there was only one day that it didn't rain at least a little bit), it didn't stop us from making the most of our time.
The first two days were pretty rainy off an on, so we spent our time on the pontoon fishing. Thankfully, we caught plenty of fish for our annual fish fry.
Dinner in Radford at The River Company
Cleaning the fish...a dirty job but somebody's got to do it! Glad Uncle Drew was there to help!
Matt's friend, Carter, was so sweet to the boys, and even took Caleb on a really long jet ski ride. By the end of the first day, they were even calling him Uncle Carter. Ha!
When your 6 foot 4 inch uncle throws you up in the air from a dock that is 3 feet off the water, it makes for a pretty high fall!
'Merica!
Coolest thing ever...
Whoever has this lake house built a covered stage and actually had a band playing on the 4th. It was so awesome listening to live music on the water!
Both in awe
Caleb is a tubing machine. I sat up on the deck one day and read while Luke napped and Caleb tubed for an hour! He is impossible to throw off when he is alone on the tube.
Getting braver...
(He jumped 100 times last summer but it took a $5 bribe from PeePaw to get him started this year. Ha!)
Wake Surfing
On our last day the skies turned blue and the sun was shining! The boys took one last jet ski ride with PeePaw.

The craziest thing about our trip had to do with Luke and a little marble.
One morning he got a marble stuck in this tube toy and tried to suck it out...and when it came out it went down his throat. Thankfully he only choked for a second before it went down, but it left us freaked out. After talking to a pediatric surgeon, our fears were eased and we were told to make sure he would pass the marble within 4 or 5 days. After 36 hours of waiting, Creed found the marble and all was well. Whew. So thankful that we didn't spend the 4th at the hospital!

I'm pretty sure you left out the best part of the "Merica" picture. ;)
