Visiting at the Lake house

After Easter, I took the kids to my parents lake house for a few days to visit with my parents and my sister's family. (Mike needed to work) It was so great to visit and the little cousins had fun together. The weather was nice and warm, but a little too windy to have much fun on the lake.

Of course Taylor Anne went out on the boat several times with Gramps anyway, and did some fishing, but had no luck. She mostly likes to play with the bait anyway... here she is playing with the minnows in the livewell... and then also in the bucket on the other boat.

Anderson loves 'driving' the boat with Gramps.

We played outside most of the days we were there, on the slide, in the grass, we took walks in the woods, and at the end of each day BATHTIME was a Must! (also tick-checks were a must)

Grammy gives a piggy-back ride!

Anderson loves bathtime with his cousin, Maddox!

There was hammock time with Gramps too. He's got it rigged up to swing with a rope hooked to a nearby tree... tug the rope, and you swing. It's so relaxing... Doesn't he look relaxed?

I didn't take any crafty stuff! No hand-sewing or knitting! I guess I kindof took a break, and now I really feel like I need to get to work. I have a few pillowcase dresses to make, and I'd like to make some purses. The first thing on my list is to finish up the Quilt-along quilt. I think I can get the top finished and basted by the end of the week...

Right now, I'm hanging out on the couch trying to get over a cold I ended up getting while at the lake. I've been 'out of commision' since we came home. It has been awful... mainly sleeping, watching 'Pride and Prejudice' on TV... I really could use that hammock right now... sans kids!

Tomorrow I will work on the quilt top... for sure!
