Lake Day

I can’t believe how fast the time is going. My youngest just turned six and is about to start grade 1 in a couple of weeks. We celebrated his birthday at the lake where my husband’s family has a cabin. It was my first time there this year and it was so relaxing. All the cousins got to spend time in the water and they had so much fun just being kids.

Not a whole lot else got done that weekend. I worked until 9:30 Saturday night and then we got things packed up to go Sunday morning. Myself and 5 kids stayed over until Monday which was an interesting experience to say the least.

Sunday was hot. It was above 30 and mostly uncomfortable. Even down by the water was hot when there is usually a cooler breeze to be enjoyed. It started to get smoky in the late afternoon and smokier still as the evening wore on. I love to get sunset pictures down on the beach but they will have to be done another time.

The kids were up past midnight and out of bed by 5:30 so they were pretty worn out. My 11 year old insisted he was not tired but almost fell asleep on the way home and by 7 he had passed out on the couch while he siblings were fighting. We left him alone because it was much quieter LOL!

I remember fighting with my sister while we were growing up but I don’t think it was as bad as my kids do. Or maybe it was and I just don’t remember? Apparently sibling rivalry has been around since the beginning of time.

Hope you are having a great summer so far!
