Last week, we only had plans for a birthday party on Saturday. I thought to myself “Great, we finally get a weekend to relax and just chill, no big plans.” Of course that just couldn’t be so! Thursday I found out that the Man’s “uncle” that he hasn’t seen or talked to in 16 years would be coming for a visit and we would be having a big ole family cook out at our house on Saturday. I had to cancel the birthday party, plan and make the food, all that fun stuff.
The party did turn out great. Our yard was packed. Good food + good friends/family = Great time. Although somehow I ended up with 3 extra kids. Just one time, it would be nice if I could pawn my kids off on the other parents instead of the other way around. It seems I always have someone else’s kids.
We made plans to test drive the neighbor’s dad’s pontoon boat on Sunday. It turned into a whole group ordeal and we ended up having 6 boats out there on Wind Lake! The neighbor and I dubbed ourselves the “Red neck Yacht Club” because we were just sitting around with so many boats around and people were standing in the water. It was pretty funny. Here’s a shot while we’re waiting to dock one of the boats.
Here we are anchored by a little island in the middle of the lake. Everyone got out and played in the water or traveled to the other boats. People kept coming and going taking boat rides and tubing. I never did tube, but the kids did for the first time. They had a blast!
There’s Lil Man on the tube. He had so much fun! He is totally my little fish boy. This kid just loves the water!
We really had such a great time. It was so much fun having such a big group of people on the water. I totally want to do it again soon!
