Normally we head up to the cabin earlier in May, but this year there was just too much going on so Memorial Weekend was our first weekend! We headed up later Friday evening to miss traffic and it worked perfectly! We ran into a few slowdowns, but never stopped and made it in just over two hours.
Saturday we headed out on the pontoon for a little fishing. We found a spot where they were biting as soon as the worm hit the water, which is always key because otherwise the girls get bored. We caught enough for lunch on Sunday!
I think the thing the girls were most excited about was banana boats around the fire.
Sunday was rainy during the morning, but once the rain cleared it got hot! So we headed out on the pontoon so the girls could swim in the deeper water.
Annabelle was in heaven all weekend at the lake! She was a happy, exhausted dog by the end of it! Actually, all the dogs were happy and exhausted. It’s definitely their happy place.
There’s a beach where the girls can swim, but especially on holiday weekends there can be a lot of kids there. The girls much prefer taking the pontoon out and getting to a spot in the lake where it’s deep and they can swim and jump in and hang out on their noodles. There were a few people with aqua pads this weekend. We’ve talked about getting one since our days on Lake Mary, and my mom finally pulled the trigger. It will be great when we’re out on the lake and they want to swim!
Monday morning was hot and humid. Since the girls had riding lessons later that afternoon, we packed up and headed back. By the time we got home we were all hungry, and it was really hot out, so we unpacked quickly and headed to the pool. We all cooled off, got lunch, and scorched our feet on the hot concrete. By the time riding lessons rolled around the crazy heat had brewed up a crazy storm! Just as they went into the ring to start their lesson it started absolutely pouring! Hail, thunder, lightening – the works. Caden’s horse was spooked a bit, but once they got going he settled down. I was a little nervous we were all going to have to hide out in the tack room, but luckily the storm lessened to just rain.
