Our Week at the Lake





The kids and I got back into town today after a wonderful week at Lake Sam Rayburn. Thanks so much Mary and Jerry (Brad's parents) for the week at the condo! Also, happy to hear that you are reading the blog! I'll type more about Brad's trip in a little while. It certainly deserves it's own entry. Whitney, Evan and I left last Friday, drove the two hours over (about 10 miles north of Jasper, TX) and checked into the condo. It was wonderful. The place was huge- two story, three big bedrooms, fireplace, two living areas, etc. It was older and decorated really homey, like an old lady's house! We had a beautiful view of the lake. We were surrounded by pine trees. We loved it. Brad joined us late Sunday for Easter dinner. He was supposed to be there Saturday but that didn't work out- more on that later! We cooked a ham, dyed eggs, etc. Late Sunday evening, Evan's friend Blake joined us! His mom brought him to meet us. We can always count on Blake to liven up the party. He is a fun kid that we love having around. We feel that now that we're down to two kids at home, friends are welcome! We spent a wonderful, relaxing week sleeping late, playing tennis, playing ping-pong, sitting in the hot tub, tanning, swimming and going to the driving range. There was nowhere really to go that was close enough so we stayed in the resort the whole time except a couple of grocery runs. It was so fun because we met so many nice people. The kids made friends with some kids from Ohio and they were inseparable the whole week. They had 24 hour access to the clubhouse, pool, ping-pong, movies- they were in heaven. Now it's back to the real world!
