Lake Gaston with Sunday School Friends

On Friday we headed to the lake with some of the couples in our Sunday School class.
Heather and I arrived first and waited on the dock for the rest to arrive and let the kids swim.
So glad the Ritchies could come since they have moved!
Caleb wanted to play Crazy 8 - Ella and Luke sat right down and played.
Luke loves Caleb and will do anything he wants! 
Fishing - Caleb showing Teague the fish he caught 
The kids checking out Mr. Danny's fish 
Ready for a boat ride 
Fishing with Crawford, Caleb's buddy
Caleb wanted to kneeboard
Ella's turn 
Boat ride while Josh wakeboarded 
After the kids got in bed, the girls did mud masks. 
The boys fished and played Spades
 
The adults stayed up til almost 2:00 am talking and laughing!
 
Saturday
Playing with Daniel 
Breakfast on the deck 
The kids loaded up for a boat ride with the dads 
Danny and Leah went tubing 
Luke and Audrey 
We all tubed together - so much fun! 
The girls relaxing on the float 
Josh got in the hammock to take a nap and my two crawled up there with him - so much for a nap! 
Caleb fishing some more in his lucky spot 
After dinner it was time for S'mores 
Roasting marshmallows 
These two were eating them straight out of the bag once they ate their S'mores! 
About 9:00 pm - Corey made it back from Germany!
We were all so happy he was home safely! 
Luke reading bedtime stories 
The kids piled on Corey
(Can you see Luke on top of Caleb?) 
 
Sunday
Ready for the lake! 
Chilling with Audrey
All the kids LOVE Crawford and Audrey! 
We loaded up and headed to Goat Island 
All the kids playing on the beach 
Three Musketeers
 
On the back of the boat 
At Goat Island 
Corey brought chocolate eggs with toys inside for all of the kids 
The only reason they like when daddy goes to Germany - they get chocolate eggs! 
The boys chillin'
Daniel had to go back on Saturday night 
I surfed for the 1st time - it was fun!
Ella decided she wanted to knee board on her knees instead of her belly!
And she did so good!  She looks so little hanging on back there.
So proud of her!
Ella and Corey napping in the hammock 
Ella and Luke feeding the fish and Caleb trying to catch them! 
Kelly took a nap!
Then we packed up, cleaned up and ate dinner at Highway 55 before heading home.
 
It was such a fun weekend with great friends.
I just love these girls and their families and can't wait for the two new additions joining us soon.  We laugh together, cry together, pray for each other and have fun together!  So thankful for them!
