Our weekend at the lake was quite a cute one, and it was fairly smooth, for which I was incredibly grateful! We had some really positive moments on that first Saturday.
Laela got WAY braver this weekend and started running and jumping of the dock 💜
Brady build a rack for our kayaks, the Dahlsjos paddle boards, and the paddle boat that we share 💜
And we made a HUGE feed of perogies, sausage, and broccoli 💜 We put the buttery steakhouse rub on the broccoli and it was positively deadly. Deadly like that guy on YouTube. THAT kind of deadly.
Our kids got a bit weird after that, but it made for fun pictures.
The sunset was beautiful, as it always is. Its impossible to capture it on my phone, but you’ll just have to take my word for it.
And the very next morning gave us an incredible fire and a slow moving smorning with the kids 💜
Sunday was warmer earlier in the morning, so we loaded up to hit the beach. Not all the kids fit on the cart every time. It’s a bit more dependent on what we’re all bringing down with us. So some of the kids walked today, and Laela offered to carry the coffees, which was SO sweet of her.
Can’t take a picture without being photobombed, though.
Or just being a weirdo.
We ate good food and spent good time with good people. Our Dahlsjos came for the last couple of hours of the afternoon, which makes it feel all the more homey 💜
Packing up was fairly smooth, and we hit the road with a quiet van load of kids. We hit PA for supper and indulged fully, feeding ourselves italian cheesy bread and milkshakes for supper. It, like Saturdays supper, was deadly. Our van was even quieter after we ate, and the end of the drive was a mix of loud singing in the van and dead silence. I loved it.
We are home, and cozy, in our own beds. But camp is never far from our minds.
These are such precious days. So many more pictures I wish I could share of dearly loved family members 💜 But you’ll just have to take my word for it. The lake life is GOOD for ALL of us. We are so unbelievably blessed with this lake spot, and then summer gifts it has given my family.
We’ll be back soon 💜
