The kids were so excited when we got to the lake and they saw Papa and they of course wanted to know where Nana was right away! They wanted to take a golf cart ride right away, so Nana took them on one while mommy and daddy unpacked! They could not fall asleep for nothing Friday night. I guess it was a mix of excitement and being somewhere different! They didn't fall asleep until after 10 and woke up at 5 that morning ready to go!! They played Saturday harder than I think they have ever played! Before 9 they had already had Papa, MamaSandra and us take them on a golf cart ride. Papa Dan and Mimi brought Amelia down and they spent the day. Papa Billy came to spend the weekend and Brittanee, Jonathan, and Jesslyn came down too! They kids rode jet skis and swam in the lake, played in the pool, rode the golf cart and went fishing. They had lots of fun with their cousin Amelia, they love her so much. They have always thought she was the grandest thing ever! Amelia is already braver than both Abram and Harlee, she has no fear in the pool! Abram loved having Jesslyn come and play, he has always loved her so much! Harlee actually gave Jesslyn a kiss when I was taking them on a gc ride, that was a huge step for Harlee! She does love Jesslyn, she just doesn't want her talking to her or touching her! LOL What can I say, that our Harlee! The kids loved playing and spending time with their grandparents and great grand parents! Later that day, Aunt Amie, Uncle Dustin and cousin Sawyer came to the lake! The kids always love seeing Amie. They were so excited to see that Sawyer could walk! They were very proud big cousins! They had so much fun with him in the pool, they all played so hard! Sawyer, like Amelia, had no fear in the water, he had so much fun!!

Sunday, Aunt Tada and Dustin came to the lake! Abram and Harlee love their Tada and Abram really likes Dustin a lot! They didn't play near as hard Sunday, because they were still so tired from Saturday and once again they had woke up at 5. Harlee was pretty moody most of the day (more so than normal! haha), Abram had managed to sprain his foot at some point Saturday, so his foot was red and swollen. He kept getting mad because I would make him rest it!

Monday, Harlee was still not the happiest camper at times, but Abram was very excited because his "best friend cousin" was coming. Mimi and Papa Dan came back to visit and Tarrah, Casey, Jake(best friend cousin) and cousin Sawyer came down!! The kids had a great 4th of July even though it rained! Harlee went back to Nana's house that night to get a good night's sleep before we left Tuesday morning. That was first time to spend the night somewhere without mommy or daddy!! She did great and she had a lot of fun with her Nana!
Happy 4th of July 2011 from Abram
I'm so thankful that we live close enough to be able to go home for a weekend every now and again. I love when the kids get to spend time with their family!
Here are some extras from the weekend of all of us...............
