Lovin' the Lake

Memorial Day Weekend 2010

Lake Martin

Holiday weekends at the lake are always a blast when all of our family (on my mom's side) is together. We enjoyed...

swimming...

jumping off the dock...

(which Carter decided he wanted to do after watching his older cousins jump off...we were shocked but thrilled he had the guts to do it!)

This is the ledge on the upper deck...Carter did NOT jump off this one but started to climb over the railing to try. I don't think he actually would have jumped.

fishing...

tubing...

skiing...

dropping into the water from a rope swing...

wading in the kiddie pool...

taking boat rides...

a rare photo with my mom in it!

lounging...

playing with cousins...

swinging...

eating...

My cousin, Ashley, made this amazing "Cheeseburger" cake.

and of course, celebrating MaMa's birthday...

MaMa surrounded by all her great-grandchildren (minus Mary Katherine and Hunter)

Turning 92!!

At the lake, everyone is all smiles...

there are lots of hugs to go around...

Tate was Grace's number one fan all weekend and worked hard to win her favor.

skits and entertainment by the kids are always a guarantee...

and fun can be found indoors when the weather is rainy...

And Memorial Day wouldn't be complete without lots of red, white, and blue...

American flags...

and honoring those who have served our country...

Uncle Inge was a Brigadier General for the Army Reserve.

Weekends like this past one are ones to be remembered.

(and so is this picture)
