Weekend at the Lake

I spent this past weekend at the lake with my parents. I always look forward to relaxing and getting away from the 'city' for a while. And you think you have plans or a schedule when you are there, but that always changes so you have to just go with the flow. Glad Mom told me to grab a coat before we left because it was cold up north!

Friday night was Game 6 of the Pistons/Cavaliers series and the Pistons were down 3-2. Mom and Dad don't have cable at the house so we had to go to the local bar to see the game. Of course, we run into Mom's cousin, Sam, and they invite us over to their new house to watch the second half. We had a great time telling family stories, laughing and watching the Pistons pull out a close one to come back home for Game 7.

Saturday was Lee and Carrie's wedding. Carter was sick so we watched him all morning and some of the afternoon so Lee and Carrie could finish some of their wedding activities. Mom and I had to finish the candelabra at the church around noon so we left Dad in charge of Carter. Carter was feeling a lot better at this point and we were happy he would be able to make it to the wedding. The weather cooperated and the sun was shining most of the day. It was a nice wedding and always fun to sit and laugh with family.

Sunday was Game 7 in the Pistons/Cavs series so we wanted to head back home so we could see the game that afternoon, plus it was soooo cold! Couldn't get on the lake because it was too cold. The whole weekend we had the fire going and electric heat on and it was still chilly!

But no matter what the weather is at the lake, it is always great to be there. And this was my last time for a long time.
