Weekend at the Lake

Kevin's parent's had been talking for years about getting a house on Lake Travis...well in February, they finally bit the bullet and got one. It's on the lake, and it's small and old, but hey, it's on the lake. The boys have been going up there for over a month trying to fix it up and make it more comfortable for everyone to use this summer.

I had been wanting to go up and see it and take a little vacation, and this past weekend we finally did. The weather was amazing, and the girls LOVED it! We were able to BBQ alot, enjoy conference, and put up some swings for the kids to enjoy while we were there. What's better than swinging with Lake Travis as the backdrop?

So, as always, I took way too many pictures, but what can I say, the subjects as always are beautiful, and who doesn't love some fun pictures of the lake?

The girls just loved hanging out outside and playing whatever their little imaginations could come up with.


She really wanted to go down to the water, but actually did a pretty good job listening to us and stayed put.

Showing off her imaginatin. I think she was either flying or swimming, probably swimming though.

They loved having a picnic outside for lunch.

We dyed easter eggs while we were there. Lexie kept smelling the cups, and I have no idea why, cause they smelled like vinegar.

Seriously, does it get better than that? That massive house on the other side of the lake is 'Mattress Mac's' compound. If you're not from houston you have no idea who he is, but he owns a huge furniture store here.

The girls loved being able to hang out with grandpa for the weekend. He even got up with them one morning so I could go back to bed....we love grandparents!:)

Kevin and his dad trying to figure out where to put the ropes for the swings, and trying to get the knots tied good and tight.

This was kinda funny. They were trying to get the ladder up to the branch to tie the ropes, but it just wasn't long enough. They sure struggled with that for awhile before they just gave up and used a rock to throw the rope over the branch.

One of the best parts of this trip was that we were able to have Kevin around for the whole weekend, with nothing to interrupt us. Between work, real estate, and his calling at church, oh, and march madness, can't forget that, we have been missing him lately.

He is an amazing dad, and spent the weekend playing with his girls. They loved having him around. He taught them how to fish, took them out to the boat dock all the time, cause that's where they wanted to hang out, and just plain old spent time with them. They are so lucky to have such a wonderful dad!

I love this photo of him fishing, well actually, he was trying to fix the fishing pole, but he's still so handsome!

The sun set's right over the water and it's beautiful. I think when we're up there, we'll be spending lots of evenings watching that gorgeous sunset!

We love these three little beauties, even if they do keep us way too busy chasing them around! We can't wait to head up there again, and just sit back and relax. Maybe next time we'll even have the boat up there, that will be fun!
