Flowers, First Boat Ride, and Corn Hole

Our weekend started off with a busy Friday.  After gymnastics we headed to Home Depot to get some spring/summer flowers to plant and then home for a quick lunch so we could plant them before the rain moved in.  The girls had a blast and were actually a really big help!

The rest of the day was spent doing laundry and packing for the lake.  As soon as Robby got home I put the girls in their PJ's and we made our way through the downpour to the lake house.  It was chilly up there this weekend, but Robby was able to get a lot of work done on the boat, which was our main reason for going.  We also took some nice long walks, enjoyed dinner at a local Mexican restaurant and today we even bundled up for a quick boat ride (including a picnic lunch) out on the water.  The girls had so much fun this weekend and did not want to leave today.  Handley told me she wished she could spend every day at the lake.  

As soon as we pulled in the driveway we worked quick to get the car unloaded and change clothes so we could head to our monthly dinner club with friends.  Our hosts, Bryce and Sarah, cooked a delicious meal for us to enjoy and we even got to dine outdoors this evening.  I wish I would have taken more pictures, because it was a perfect night, but I was too busy catching up with everyone.  The highlight of the evening was the fact that Bryce was kind enough to get all the supplies for everyone to make their own corn hole game set...maybe he was just tired of us all asking him to bring his every time we got together. :-) Knowing about this project, Handley had brought her own tools today and when we showed up they even  had adorable little Home Depot aprons for the girls to wear and a mini corn hole set for the girls to put together!  

Aprons on and ready to work! 

Hanging out with Daddy and watching the guys use the power tools.

Because dinner ran longer than expected we didn't have time to finish putting together our corn hole set, so we will have to complete that project next weekend!  Handley wanted to know why we didn't get to play it yet, but I told her we would definitely have plenty of chances.  It makes me so excited for summer evenings where we can grill out with friends, play a little corn hole, and enjoy the awesome weather.
