our first real lake trip in 2k12

Over Easter Mike, Carson & I headed to the lake for our first real lake trip this year. While there wasn't enough water to put the boat in this go 'round, we did have plenty of sun to lay out in! On Friday it was just plum cold, so we ventured to the outlets in Commerce, GA for some new duds. Friday evening our sweet friends Matt and Amanda met us back at the lake house with their 2 precious babies, David and Ethan. They brought Mike's truck back to us because we'd left it in Athens the weekend before for Matt's papa, Steve to work on. On Saturday Mikey fixed everyone waffles for breakfast, one of our favorite lakehouse traditions. We hung around the house until lunch time when we met Mike & Kayla at The Carolina Pizza Co. for a lunch of pizza! Once back at the house, the sun was warming the dock without us on it, so we packed up and headed down for the afternoon. The boys decided it would be a good idea [and it was] to take an old TV down to the newly electrically wired dock for some Super Nintendo. They had a blast playing super old video games while laying partly in the shade and partly in the sun...which left them with a nice half burn tan. (:

David loved the water! It was so fun to watch him "swim" around with Mikey and Matt - he'll be swimming on his own by the end of the summer! And sweet Baby E lounged around on the dock like a champ!
