Lake Weekend with Friends


Our great friends, Brad and Amber Cole, asked our little family to go with their family to the lake one weekend in August!

Justin had a football game to coach on Friday, so he decided to come Saturday morning.  The rest of us piled in the car on Friday and away we went!   ......to Lake Quachita outside of Hot Springs, Arkansas.

The three big kids were crammed in the back :)
Here are James and Taylor.


And Law and James :)
Reese sat in one captains chair, while Brad sat in the other.
Amber drove, and I got to sit in the front seat and talk girl talk with her!  Thanks Brad!


We got to the cabin and got to look around.  James loved the loft.  One day, he and the kids might get to sleep up there!  But the ladder goes straight up, so we will give them a few more years :)


Out on the boat first thing in the morning once Justin got there!
He left our house in Arlington at 5:00 that morning so that he could spend the whole day with us at the lake!  What a trooper!


Me and my sweet boy.


The big kids LOVED the boat ride.


Brad and Amber.....Awesome friends!


So glad to get away and relax and have fun.


Reese loved looking out over the boat too.


Gotta love the wind blown hair!


Eating PB&J out on the water.


So sweet


Reese hanging out with Daddy while the boat was anchored.


Reese fell asleep, and we stopped to get ice cream at the dock. 


mmmmmm....


Time to tube!
The kids loved riding with Justin!  We were super proud of Reese.


Can you see that James fell asleep while tubing?  Haha!


Yep, sound asleep!

The boat is a glorious place to nap :)


Me and my girl
(who by this point is not liking her life jacket!)


Mr. Brad let James steer the boat!


We headed back to the cabin for dinner and bed.  

One more day of being out on the water!
On Sunday morning, the sun came out!

Buddies just chillin' :)



All of us in the water!


Amber gave me a break and let Reese nap in her arms this time!
Thanks friend!

Justin and I rode on the tube.  Sooo much fun!



Somebody has had a fun-filled weekend :)
Totally out!

Brad and Amber, can't wait to do that again!  Thanks for the treat!
