N/P Lake House and PK Weekend

Tom and I were invited out to The Harbor on Possum Kingdom Lake for the weekend. Nana and Papa said they'd watch the kids for us. We brought them out to the lake house on Friday after Dylan's and Chases graduation program. We stayed over Friday night and then headed to PK the next morning. Madelyn was so excited about this. We've never brought them somewhere and left them. She kept saying "so you and daddy are going to stay over tonight and then leave tomorrow and we're going to stay?!". When I would say "yes" she would get so excited and say "Marek, did you hear that?! Yeah!". Seriously, are we that boring or is it that we're too strict and Nana and Papa let them do whatever they want? I think it's the latter of the two. :)
When we arrived at the lake house, Nana had their explorer backpacks all ready for them. . .

They swam for a while . . .
Then we took a little boat ride around the lake. . .


After dinner they enjoyed some s'mores!
Relaxing by the dock with daddy . . .
We all sat down on the dock that night and just kicked back and chilled. . . for about 5 minutes when the kids began to get antsy . . .
Checkin' out the lake with their binoculars . . .
The next morning after breakfast, Tom and I packed up again while Nana and Papa entertained the kids with bubbles! Always a crowd pleaser.
Marek using his ninja skills to get the bubbles. Those bubbles didn't stand a chance!
We had such a great time at The Harbor. It was an amazing place and we WISH we could afford a cabin, cottage, even a condo there. We just bought a house so we're a little broke. :)
Here I am with Chris's girl friend, Donna, and another friends wife, Rene.
We took a boat ride around PK lake on The Harbor's charter boat. They stopped by these cliffs, of course, because Tom and Chris wanted to jump. Here is Tom jumping after Chris - he did a flip in the air. Best part was, Chris' brother pulled up in his full boat blasting the song "Jump" by Van Halen. Of course Tom waited to jump when they yelled "JUMP!" in the song. It was classic but he's grounded.
It was such a fun and relaxing weekend. Thank you so much, Nana and Papa, for watching our babies so we could get away for a quick weekend.

Girl, you have been an updating fool! If I was that far behind I'd just say forget about it. I'm impressed with your mad blogging skills. Your family is so precious and we can't wait to hear all about baby #3!
