For the second weekend in a row, our family has piled in the car and driven up and down the east coast. First to Lexington, VA and most recently to Lake George, NY. I over-packed as always but one thing I purposely left behind this time was the laptop. It was a difficult decision but not one that I regret. Being disconnected was delightful. I even let the battery on my cell phone drain without feeling compelled to recharge it!
We were fortunate enough to join our friends at their lake house. We arrived late Friday evening and were welcomed by chocotinis (chocolate martinis).
What do you think, does this look like a place where you could kick off your shoes and relax? Or walk down to to water and enjoy the scenery from the dock?
If I didn’t know and better I would have a hard time believing that Lake George is actually a lake. The water is crystal clear! Seriously, you can see the bottom of the lake.
While the girls enjoyed some hot mulled cider, the guys enjoyed guy time near the fire before the girls {and babies} invaded.
Do you recognize the little boy in the photograph below?
That’s right, it is Nathan’s best bud, Ayden {and his grandparents}. The 4 month age gap is quickly closing between Nathan and Ayden. Ayden has developed his toddle and is now toddling around with Nathan.
By the way, Ayden’s grandparents built the house you saw in the first photograph, paying close attention to every little detail including the trees outside.
Thanks to my friend, Breanne, I finally have an updated non-blurry photograph of myself and my little munchkin who most definitely did not consume any chocolate.
And me with my partner in crime. We are dangerous together, and I am not just talking about Old Navy Weekly.
The little boys stayed home with Ayden’s grandparents Saturday evening while the adults went out and attempted to sing karaoke. I tried to convince Jay to sing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun but he opted for Johnny Cash’s Hurt. The girls teamed up to sing Madonna’s Like a Virgin. It was a disaster, apparently we did not know the words and thank God Jay saved us.
Ayden must have really tired Nathan out because this is what I saw when I returned home.
I think he takes after his daddy. What do you think?
