Last weekend we went to Lake Placid for our annual lake trip with friends. We have gone for 3 years now, and it is such a blast every time! Cory and a bunch of his high school friends have stayed very close throughout the years, and a couple years back we decided to rent a house for a little get together. Most of us are in the Houston area, only one family is near Dallas. Our very first trip we rented two houses. One was designated the "kid" house, and one was the "adult/party" house. There is no way we could have an adult house this year - we had 10 kids all under the age of 6! Kacy was the youngest last year, but this year Luke was the youngest at 12 weeks. The kids are about to outnumber the adults! We'll be in trouble then! We rented one big house, and we crammed in it. The house was not set up exactly perfectly, but we made it work. The two biggest issues were that it only had two bathrooms and that the upstairs was a big loft with two "rooms". Luckily everyone is very laidback and relaxed, so we all worked it out. We decided to get a house with a pool this year, and thank goodness we did! Both of the people that had boats last year were sold, so we did not have a boat to play on. It was no big deal because the pool was perfect! It had an amazing shallow end that the kids loved to play in. We went over there at least twice a day. day Adilyn stayed in the pool from around 10:30 until 1:45! Everyone slept very well at night, and the adults had some time being silly. The kids loved playing with army men and magnetic tile shapes when they were inside. We also set up a slip and slide for the little ones to run in.
It's such a great group of people, and it's amazing to be able to spend 3 days with people and have a great time, and no drama to deal with. Everyone made it through the trip with no major tragedies...last year was a little rough with Cory's dad passing away and little Isaac hurting his toe. The only problem we had was when Kacy busted her lip open on the entertainment center, but she was fine after it stopped bleeding and took a nap.
Overall, it was a terrific last "mini vacation" for us, and a great way to end the summer!
