Smith Mountain Lake

Kevin, Eli, and I spent a long weekend at Smith Mountain Lake with Dave, Christine, and Julia Walsh. Christine's family owns a condo on the lake. We left late Thursday night and arrived just before midnight. Both kids were up early the next morning- a little before 6am (!)- so we got on the boat early and took advantage of the beautiful day. The weather was fantastic- blue skies, warm sun- we couldn't have asked for better weather.

Both kids were unsure of their life jackets at first, but they got used to them. After about 15 minutes on the boat, they both fell asleep. Dave and Christine drove us all over the lake and we looked at all of the beautiful houses and picked our favorites. We beached the boat and tried to get the kids to swim in the lake but neither of them were very interested. They'd rather run around the boat and eat grapes and goldfish crackers. We then went to a marina where we fed fish and ate ice cream. After naptime at the house, we ventured over to the pool next to the condo and let the kids float around in their inner tubes. So fun. We spent the next day out on the lake and at the pool again (with naptime in between). Again the weather was just perfect. And again, Julia and Eli fell asleep shortly after getting on the boat.

Here are quite a few pictures from the weekend. I couldn't decide on just a couple, so I posted a bunch. When you see how cute Eli and Julia are, you'll understand. Thanks Dave and Christine for a wonderful weekend. We had such a good time with your family. It was a wonderful trip!





We've already taken her ruby slippers. :)


















There was a lot of hugging this weekend





Feeding the fishies

























He's really into it, can't you tell?




Yum, fishies


The lovely hosts


And their adorable offspring












Hello cuteness




More hugging. It's what he does.
