Labor Day Weekend

After the First Friday parade, we headed to the lake for Labor Day weekend with Lucian, Jeanie, Mama Jo, Papa Carl and the dogs, Maggie and Buddy! On Saturday morning we went swimming and Bruce got some skiing/wakeboarding time!! Then Lucian, Bruce and I got ready and had some lunch and then headed back to Clemson for the first football game!!  It was really hot, but at least we got a win and it was fun to be at the game.  It's always great to see our team play after such a long time and the atmosphere was perfect! :)

Sunday we spent the whole day on the lake: riding in the boat, swimming and enjoying the sun!  It was so relaxing just spending time with family!  Monday, it rained off and on all day--but it was perfect because we took it easy, rested, watched movies, read books, took naps and worked on the puzzle.  And there is always great food when Papa Carl is involved and we ate our fair share of it!  :)  For a special treat, Lucian fixed amazing steaks for dinner on Sunday night and they were gone by Monday!! :) 

Thanks for a wonderful time at the lake Papa Carl and Mama Jo, Lucian and Jeanie!  We love you very much! :)

My good looking boys!!

Man, I love to watch Bruce ski---he is awesome at this!! 

GiGi brought Parker his first real fishing pole and was showing him how to use it

Papa Carl was also giving some lessons! ;)

But as you can see, he didn't quite get it!  He kept putting the rod in the water---just like you do with the "fishy poles" aka noodles :)

So the men decided to take over the fishing :)

I had to take a picture of this:  GiGi carrying the shotgun!!  Lucian actually had to use it to kill a snake!! Uggh!! Luckily he got it with one shot--he's pretty good!  Thank goodness!

My sweet boy!!
