HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY (LAKE DAY)

God has blessed us with a full lake this year!  A REALLY FULL lake this year!
Thank you!

A Memorial Day With Friends

Haven't been with these special friends in a long time!
Life gets so busy, but sometimes, you just have to drop everything and grab a last minute opportunity that comes along.
I am always happy when I just stop what I think is SO important and do that!

But, you know how even though it has been awhile, when you get back together with great friends, it is like no time was ever lost.  I love that!

Here are some pics of our Memorial Day Lake Day and even some flashback Lake Day pics from 5 years earlier.....We have made many memories at the lakehouse with this family!  We have been friends for over 10 years!

 Isaac LOVED the boat this time. He would not stop dancing to the music....he was so jovial and funny!

 Nothing better than some LOUD music and WAVES







FLASHBACK 5 YEARS AGO
Our families have been friends for a long time and a lot of our memories on the lake were made together
I came across these photos (actually, I found a lot of photos) of the kids from lake days in the past.  I posted just a few, as it warmed my heart to see how long we have been friends and how much the kids have grown up.  Even as the kids are older, they still remain the dearest of friends.

LAKE DAY BACK IN 2010

Look at these 2 Sweeties 5 years ago.....Madison and Isabella 2010
After eating snow cones....guess what color they were
TUBING
MAY 2010
 Same 6 kids.....5 Years Earlier
What great memories 
At that point, an adult would ride on the tube with the kids
Even Lori and I were younger and crazier back then.....look at how fun we were!  We would ride the tube OVER AND OVER as the boys tried to knock us into the water.....
Most of the time, they would make a sharp turn with the boat and 
flip us off of our raft!
Lori and I would scream and just laugh so hard!

OKAY BACK TO TODAY MEMORIAL DAY
2015
The boys found a snake outside of the garage....And then the Daddies killed it
It was very exciting!
 BAD WEATHER SETS IN
Even More Excitement


 All of a sudden...the sky grew dark and the storms set in!  There was even a tornado warning!!!  By the way, the scary weather was super excititng for the kids.  We had to evacuate into the basement!
(The kids playing a game in the basement during the Tornado Warning...of course their main excitement was the storm....AND keeping Isaac out of the middle of the game board)

As you would expect with kids, they were sad that the tornado did not hit....Well we can always hope for mass destruction next time


The Beautiful Sky After the Storm
 I am in awe at His Most Intricate and Perfect Artistry 

(This pic makes me laugh so hard)


What a beautiful and blessed Memorial Day!
Thank you Mira's for coming out to celebrate with us
