Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend at Claytor Lake...without PeePaw. He was on-call all weekend and couldn't come, but Grandma Beth came for a day, Uncle Matt stopped by for a day on his way back home, and Uncle Drew actually spent the weekend with us. We also took the Bachmans with us, so it was a blast!

Saturday was cool and rainy, so we spent time indoors. The kids played, put on shows, and spent time in the hot tub while we watched football and ate. :)

While waiting for the girls to show up, Caleb and Luke spent time jumping in the cold lake and then soaking in the hot tub. 


It was sunny Sunday so we were out before lunch. Edie preferred the baby pool to the cool lake water. She was such a sweet girl...she didn't fuss or whine once until I think Monday evening!

They paddle boarded

and did some dock jumping.


Clarabelle and Milly are just a few months younger than Luke, so they had a big time together! They are such sweet girls and total lake rats like my boys!


Uncle Drew and his girlfriend Jana took a tube ride and when they were thrown off, they took the tube handles with them. Oops!



Giggles and smiles



That night the kids put on a show. It was classic. Music...dancing...and lots of laughs!

There was even another show the next morning!


Monday was much warmer!


Can you spot Edie?!! The lake provided the perfect white noise!

 The grownups got in on the dock jumping! Mid-back flip...









Such a fun weekend and friends and family! 
As the girls were leaving, I told them that they should come back again and Milly asked, "Can we come next weekend?" Such a sign of a great weekend, and I think we all wished we would be back!
