Pickwick trip

I’m here my fellow blog followers.  No, I haven’t been on my “A Game” with posting new updates lately, because creating a life is hard work.  I’m not sure if this pregnancy is worse, chasing two very active kids wears me out, or the fact that I am older, OR all three, but I am not feeling too chipper very often.  Please accept my apologies at this time.

Back in June I decided that it was a must that we take a lake trip.  Now I started planning this trip in my head BEFORE Three, the new baby, was in the picture.  My crew was on board with a getaway along with Puddin, Pops, Uncle Vance, and his girlfriend, Emily.  So we chose and date, which was last weekend, and off we went to Pickwick Lake.  

The drive isn't too far from Mayberry, only about 2 hours… give or take a few minutes here and there.  So we loaded up on Friday afternoon in the yucky weather with high hopes of a better forecast to come.  We were able to stay in a family member’s very nice lake home on our trip.  Friday we unloaded, got situated, ate, and went to bed.  Saturday morning we had a big breakfast, lounged around because it was yucky outside, and finally around 2:00 were able to get on the boat.

 Bitty HATED the lifejacket with a huge passion.  I think the fact that it smooshed his face was not okay with him.  It was chilly on Saturday.  Can you tell… the jackets and blankets?!?!?!?!?

 A boat ride is a great place for a nap, too!!!

 Snacks are always a must on a boat ride.

 It was a little chilly on Saturday in the lake.

 I got this driving stuff down...

 The boys had a LARGE time on the huge sectional couch.  They are into tent making, as I have mentioned in the past, and they were able to make a grand tent out of this big momma.

 That's Ford swinging off of a rope into the water.

 Sunday was a MUCH prettier day.  Again, we got up and had a large breakfast and did a little lounging.  I could only lounge so long and  I had to tell the people to get the show on the road.  We were missing valuable lake time.  On this day we took out the tube.  Tubing has ALWAYS been great fun to me; the faster, bumpier, and rougher, the better.  However, with Three on board this momma can’t be doing all that.  I refused to miss out on the fun though.  So I still participated, but only at about 10 mph.

 Until next time....
