More lake time with friends

On Friday night, our good friends Colby and Jamie came up to Gainesville to join us for dinner and a weekend on the lake. A little while after they arrived, Brince, Becca, and Clayton arrived too. Talk about a fun crew! The 7 of us stayed up super late playing games and laughing til our stomachs hurt. On Saturday morning, Griffin and Alli joined us for the day/night. After scooping up Jamie's sister Ashley, we spent the whole beautiful day on the lake. We met Amanda, Ben, Sally, and Brian on an island and enjoyed hot dogs, brewskies, telling stories, and dips in the water. On Saturday night, we had a fun dinner and retired to the back deck for more game-time. When Clayton and Griffin, my highschool BFFs, are around, I laugh non-stop; we all do. I mean, laughing-with-no-sound-with-my-abs-aching type of laugh. Alli, Griffin's wife is awesome too! Colby, Becca and I have a ball together, and Brince and Jamie always love seeing each other. I love melding friends and laughing with them all! We slept in on Sunday for obvious reasons, and after bidding farewell to our pals about 4pm, we scooped up Ben to continue our weekend of fun. 

Look at this princess. Isn't she the cutest?



Friday night was so mild and wonderful that we were able to hang out on the deck. I had to include this pic of the candle sticks that David cut for me with our citronella candles. They kept the bugs at bay, and were pretty! Our new favorite game is The Game of Things, and we played until our sides hurt..maybe until like 3am.

The boys had a nice, sweet toast to the recently deceased Harmon Killebrew. They killed-a-brew in honor of him. Harmon!

We love when Jim Roper comes to visit too!

Best pals.

Saturday lake time!

So so so happy to have Griff, Ally, Clayton and The Smithsons for the weekend, and the Roper-Coodys too!

Our favorite little man joined us on the boat for some string cheese and photos!

He's a popular guy. What can you say? Brince loves to fish with him, Becca loves nature walks with him, and Ashley thinks he's a hoot!

Saturday night brought many more laughs during the Game of Things!
