Going Places: Father's Day Weekend

Oi what a weekend! I’d have to say I’m tuckered out from all we did! On Friday we drove down to Georgia and stayed with my sister Jessica and her husband Bert.

And Saturday was lake day! We were up bright and early and
off to the lake! Jessica and Bert had two boats – a party yacht (basically a
super fancy pontoon boat) and a ski boat! We spent the day in the sun, munching on yummy snacks, sliding, swimming, playing with the babies, and my favourite, tubing! Dad is an expert at knocking me off while he drives the boat – I am most definitely sore from getting tossed a few times! Rebeka and I got to take Elizabeth out for a spin on one of the tubes and it was really fun to watch her face as the water splashed her!

Caroline liked to pretend she was driving the boat.

Jess made the yummiest fruit and creme cheese snacks! I ate wayyy too many!

Elizabeth like them too!

Yummy watermelon!

Most of us took cat naps when we got home before we had a fantastic dinner, complete with ribs and baked beans! Sooooo good! We walked it off later, going to the park and watching my dad chase the babies around with more energy than our entire family had combined! I swear, he’s in better shape
than either me or Beks!

Haha, this cracks me up - I told the girls to smile and Caroline started picking her cute little nose!

We finished off lake day with some ice cream at Baskin Robbin’s– I tried some lemonade sweet iced tea flavor that was good when I tasted it, but I wearied of it quite soon! It’s odd to have a drink flavoured ice cream, to say the least.

Sunday was great! Haha, I woke up early to ensure that I could shower and get ready for church on time, but, alas, our family decided to stay home and relax for Father’s Day. Of course!

We had a yummy breakfast and chilled all morning – the girls ended up at the pool while the fathers stayed in the garage and worked on cars.
Haha, how typical.

The men did join us later, and it was funny, watching my dad toss Elizabeth around in the pool and teach her how to swim – it seems just like yesterday he was doing it to me!
