Last summer lake weekend

The weekend started off with Harper's gymnastics class.  She gets so excited about going and even though it's a mommy and me class, she really wants nothing to do with me once we are there and prefers that her teacher, Mrs. Rita, help her with everything. 


After gymnastics and a quick lunch at Chick-fil-a we made our way to the lake for the last summer lake weekend.  The house is rented for the weekends the next month so we wanted to be sure to enjoy it while we could.  Jen, Justen and Parker came up with us and the girls were just thrilled to have another baby around.  Parker is a lot more fun than Hudson right now since he is way more interactive and they couldn't get enough of him.


Handley is such a little Mommy.  She does so great with the babies and is so sweet with them.  I love listening to her talk to Hudson and I know he is going to idolize her (just like Harper does) as he gets a little older.  Handley also dressed up Parker in her pink hat and gave him baby dolls to play with all weekend.


We had fun grilling out, spending time on the boat, swimming, and having lunch at the Tiki Hut where the girls enjoyed the duck feeding frenzy.  Who knew ducks liked left-over french fries!  Gigi and Papa joined us up there last minute on Saturday too so we had a full house that was full of fun!






This picture of Harper and Papa cracked me up when I saw it.  Harper definitely has the "wind-blown" look and you can tell it was past nap-time with her tired eyes and her thumb in her mouth.


The girls have their first day of school tomorrow so we spent the evening preparing lunches, picking out clothes, and getting everything in order for tomorrow!

Sounds like the perfect way to end the summer. I always love when I get to hear stories and see pictures from the lake. It was sounds/looks SO FUN!

Can't wait to hear first day of school stories, and to hear what you and Hudson did while the big girls were away.

Precious! Looks like you were able to pack a lot of fun into the last weekend of summer! I loved the cheerleading pics too! So adorable!

Looks like so much fun -- and love the last pic especially! We are heading up there to Keowee for a trip in the near future actually -- so excited! Adorable school moments, dance and cheerleading -- not sure how you manage everything with a newborn, but it's inspiring :)
