It's always a challenge to find dates that work for everybody when trying to get together with friends, so we were excited that our family and the T family were able to find a few days to spend the lake together. We always have a ton of fun with them! It's only October, but these pictures have me wishing it was July all over again!

Dock vs. Swimmers
Walter is also modeling the cast cover we got for swimming. It was worth every penny and the drive back to our house to pick it up after it was delivered because he swam all weekend (and the rest of the summer) with it!
Melanie with the fish she caught.
The Relaxation Station was intended for adults to relax under the hot sun in cushy comfort, while dipping their toes in cool water and drinking iced beverages...but the four of us grown-ups thought it was called the "Relaxation Station" because once it's in the water, all we had to do was sit in comfy chairs on the patio and watch the kids play on it!
Looks pretty calm at first...
...But then the imaginations kicked in (it was a pirate ship that was sinking after a long battle) and there was jumping, climbing, screaming, and water gun battles.
Walter and Randy made a good water gun team on the dock.
The best thing about playing in the water all day? Early bed time!
A few of the boys made it through a movie before going to bed.
Saturday morning and the fishing started up right away. The dads got up way too early and spent the morning fishing on a nearby lake.

Success for Nate and Randy
Back to fishing...
...and a little more swimming...
...and cards...
...and relaxing.
