Mama and Papa's Lake House

Mama and Papa just got a new lake house and I could not wait to go see it!  Pearce and I went last weekend to check it out.  First, we had to see Nay Nay and Charlotte!  We got there in time for Pearce to walk with Auntie Ashy and Charlotte to school to pick up Nay Nay.  Pearce was so excited to get to do this.  After the kids played for a while at home, we went for dinner at Chick Fil A.  They had so much fun playing together, and Ash and I had so much fun just sitting and visiting.  Pearce was soooo sad to leave them, but perked up once we got to Mama and Papa's house.  The next morning, we were off to the "Wake House!"  It didn't take long to get there.  Oh my goodness, their house is so cute!  We were both excited to look around!  They really did get so lucky because this house has everything they wanted....plus it came fully furnished.....with cute furniture and decorations!   They've changed a few things here and there, but, it's really so cute!  Pearce could not wait to go fishing and pretty much the whole weekend, that's all he wanted to do!  Papa got him a new Spiderman fishing pole, so Pearce was set!  He learned how to cast his rod out and reel it back in.  He caught several fish including a couple catfish!  It was pretty windy that weekend and storms were coming in, so the water was pretty choppy which made fishing not as successful as we wanted.  BUT, the great thing is that Pearce did not care if he didn't get any bites.....he LOVED just casting out and reeling in and walking all around the dock to find different spots to fish.  In fact, Saturday morning, Pearce woke up bright and early (which he NEVER does), and the first thing he said was "Can we go fishing now?"  We all caught several fish, though and just had so much fun!  Papa even took us to a different fishing spot on the lake and right off the bat, I caught a huge bass....I was pretty proud of myself :).  The other thing Pearce was so excited about was roasting marshmallows in the fire pit and making s'mores.  Well, Pearce loved the roasting part, but would not eat a roasted marshmallow or a s'more....which meant I ate a TON of them!  Papa also grilled us burgers which were so yummy!  Saturday, after more fishing and hammock swinging, Mama and Papa took us for a drive around the town and to see all the other lake communities and houses....which, I seriously loved theirs the best!  We went to eat dinner at a Mexican food restaurant that night and then back to the lake house to relax.  I will be so excited once Papa gets his boats so that we can take Pearce out on the tube and to eventually learn how to ski....I can't WAIT to go water skiing again!  Can't wait for summer and more "Wake House" fun!!!

 

At the zoo and in the mud with Eli

Pearce and his friend, Eli have known each other since they were babies!  Eli is in Pearce's playgroup and they have really become great friends.  They've done soccer together and now are in gymnastics on Monday mornings.  We usually do an activity after gymnastics and a couple weeks ago we decided to go to the Austin Zoo.  The boys had so much fun together  Our zoo is a smaller rescue zoo, but it's still really fun.  They loved riding the train and eating a picnic lunch.  Last week, we went to see  Eli's new house.  It had been raining nonstop for a few days, but the rain stopped and the sun came out for a little bit....just long enough for the boys to have fun in the mud!
