It's the Little Things... like throwing rocks!

The greater part of last week was spent on beautiful, peaceful Pine Lake in what has become a yearly summer getaway tradition to see our good friends the Soll's and Redmond's. Max had the best time with his buddies Adam, Parker, Eli, & Ada.

It was so fun catching up with all of our buddies and seeing how everyone has grown since our lake get-together last year!

Adam, Max, and Ada take a break from the favorite kid activity of the week: throwing rocks into the water.

The boys talk politics, religion, and philosophy on the ride around the lake.

Aside from throwing rocks in the lake (which was definitely a favorite activity this year), we also visited the beach area and played in the sand, rode on the boat around the lake, went tubing, ate LOTS, enjoyed a game or two of Rumikub (of course!), relaxed and caught up with one another.

A few other notable lake events this year included: learning that precious Eli could, in fact, not fly, enjoying rare girl-time with sweet Ada, hiding Thomas the train to avoid quarrels, sharing the "cute"-ness of knives with Yakko, gaining nerve and laughing hard and long while tubing with Denise, breaking heirloom food processors (ahem, Yakko!), & laughing until our faces hurt while playing Balderdash.

...What a GREAT week! :) Thanks for the fun (AGAIN this year), friends!
