Sunny Days By the Water With Good People

So I had a wonderful weekend.

My family is old friends with another family whom we visit on their beautiful property on a lake every year. We've been cut short to only a long weekend with them since we're all getting older, but the time is still well worth it.

I never got to ask for permission to post pictures of the other family so any pictures you will see of them will be of the back of their heads or feet  or whatever.

And if you still figure out who they are, then, well stop being such a creep.

My mom told me she was sick of seeing pictures of the dog and Dave. So I only took a couple pictures of Dave. I accidentally on purpose took a lot more of the dog. Whoops.

Sister N often has a hard time composing herself

The men played manly games, like tossing strings and balls onto poles.

Sister S and her BF having fun on the beach.

Oh gosh.

Sister N is not helping Sister S. It's called tickling.

Bruin clearly hates attention.

Dear L.L. Bean and Dog Fancy, I am my dog's acting modeling agent. You can contact me via my email. We accept payment in cash, dog treats, and goldfish. Love, ME.

Waiting.

Use those webbed feet.

Polar bear.

Yes, I only blew up the pictures of my dog playing fetch. SO SUE ME.

Hand stand competitions.

Don't fall.

Soooo this is my sister's dog.

She never stands still enough for me to take a picture.

Ever

Ladies

We also went tubing.

They had something to prove.

And they did.

Until one of them fell off.

Nothing in this photo other than pure lovelyness.

 Warning: A few of the following photos are my attempt at being artistic.

Spiderwebish

Can you find the content bear?

There he is!

Probably my favorite type of chair ever.

Especially during sunset.

The two newly betrothed individuals going for a romantic paddle.

I'm not going to sit here and lie to you by telling you that this isn't one of my favorite photos from the weekend. This also explains why it's bigger than all of the other ones. Well, other than those ones of Bruin of course.

Lounging at it's best.

 So the most wonderful hostest with the mostest set up some games for us on Saturday. It was Minute to Win it: Camp style.

I now know interesting information about my family members.

 

 Sister N can balance 4 dice on a Popsicle stick.

And Sister E can knock over 6 waterbottles with pantyhose on her head.

The Sarge I insisted getting a picture of the dogs begging.

I mean they're all cute I guess.

When the dogs weren't out frolicking they had their own little room in the front of the cabin.

The grass is always greener.

So that's it. Non-suprisingly it was a blast.

The bittersweet part about this trip was that as it was at the end of July, it in a way signified the "beginning of the end". Granted my family has rented a week at a cabin on another lake which we will be enjoying the week right before I go back to school, but I'll be doing work here, there and everywhere for the beginning of school.

So get ready for a little less talk about running around in the grass barefoot and a little more talk about classrooms and shopping for grown-up "SLACKS" to head back to school in.

Until then, I think I'm going to head to the gym, come home and pretend the fan is a little bit of a lake breeze.
