Memorial Day Fun at the Lake

We headed to Lake Gaston on Friday night for our annual Memorial Day weekend at the lake with the Taylors. 

Friday night all the kids were coloring with Mary Ann.
They stayed up way too late playing but had so much fun together!
Saturday morning all the kids loaded up for a golf cart ride with PePa 
...then Ella headed to the pier to start fishing 
Caleb was ready to swim!  He doesn't care how cold the water is! 
And the girls are always ready for a snack. 
Caleb and Lena went swimming 
Fishing off the shore with PePa 
Evan and Corey loaded up Cole, Lena and Caleb to go fishing in the boat
The little girls stayed behind and fished with PePa on the pier 
and snacked some more! 
Me and my sweet girl ready to go!
All four of us riding the jet ski 
They went back out, just the boys so they could ride fast.  Ella didn't love the jet ski but Caleb did! 
Caleb was so happy to swim a little while without his swimmy! 
Floating - Caleb, Corey and Logan 
This girl didn't want to swim but she liked sticking her feet in 
We found this little turtle swimming and Logan scooped him right up.  Caleb was SO excited!  We took him out for a little while but then let him go back and swim in the lake :) 
After the girls went to bed, the boys went catfishing with their daddies.   
Sleeping good after a day of playing hard at the lake
 
Mornings at the lake usually start with... 
..some bike riding 
...and some swinging and coffee drinking. 
These kids wanted to ride the boat - lifejackets over their PJs. 
Riding the boat with their daddies 
 Caleb caught a little fish - can you see him holding him?
These two were little fish this weekend - they swam alot! 
 And this cutie just wanted to dip her feet in.
Lunchtime on the deck 
Throwing in bread for the fish 
Ella caught her first fish 
She was so proud! 
Luke came over to visit 
Little buddies - Caleb and Luke 
Lena and Ella ready to tube! 
Luke's 1st time tubing 
 Me and Kelly tubing with Lena, Ella, and Luke
Then Luke got in the boat and Caleb got in the tube.
Caleb LOVED it.  He is such a little daredevil this year! 
 Playing with Uncle Logan
 
MeMa bought paint and let the kids paint each other

The boys painting each other
Caleb painting his nose 
Ella painting Caleb's back 
All 5 painting away 
After they finished - so cute! 
 Ella 
Caleb - my little Indian 
After they finished painting, they got a bath in the lake and Cole was ready to swim! 
Best buddies! 
PePa reading the boys a story 
Silly girl wanted to hang upside down! 
 Caleb, MeMa and Corey headed out in the canoe 
Coming back in 
This boy loves doing anything with his daddy! 
Caleb and MeMa on the jet ski 
Caleb with us on the jet ski - he didn't want to get off! 
Sweet babies on the pier - loving the lake life! 
Caleb is getting so brave - jumping in! 
Logan and Meridith chilling 
Swimming with daddy 
You know you are a redneck with you pull your jet ski out of the water with a lawnmover!  Don't put anything past these boys ;)
 
Another wonderful weekend at the lake - looking forward to doing it again on July 4th!
