Where We Grew Up

After the lake house, we spent 2 1/2 days in FDL. We got to meet up with some friends and spend more time with our families.

We went to the park to ride on the rides and to AW for ice cream.

My parents

The whole gang

We left Friday morning and drove the 20 hours back home in our new to us car.:)

We had such a fun time!

Lake House

Our plane left for Chicago at 6 am, then we drove 3 hours to FDL. We were all exhausted by the time we got to my parent's house.

We loaded back into the car and drove almost 2 hours to Brian's uncle's lake house. We stayed there from Friday to Tuesday. We had a great time with all our family.

Jackson and Brian fished the days away! Jackson loved running around with his cousins.

Brian and I both tried wake boarding. He made it up and well me...not so much:)

My parents camped 5 minutes away and came over to hang out during the day. We went out on the boat and four wheeler. Jackson and all the kids went tubing.

We played games, swam in the lake, and fished some more.

The weather was cool for this Houston girl, but perfect for fishing, walks, and running around.

The lake reminds me of our dating days- my how things have changed, but I love spending time with my family in God's creation.

All of Brian's family was able to join us at the lake house.

We had a great time!
