This past weekend we had 3 generations from two different families up at the cottage and we had a blast! Mom and Dad had made plans with their long time friends Tom and Terri for a weekend at the cottage. Their daughter and I grew up playing together and now our kids are friends too. We caught wind that the grandparents were getting together and thought it would be great fun to have everyone together for a weekend at the lake!
The kids were so excited to see each other Friday night --- it took them a while to settle down to sleep. Buppa was in the kids cave with them and I think James and Maddie were still up giggling after 11pm. Isaac on the other hand had no problem falling asleep - those big kids wore him out!
Breakfast the next morning --- Ikey thought he was so cool sitting at the kids table!
Poppa Tom with Charlotte.
Maddie likes trains and diggers just like Jimmy and they both played awesome with the construction set.
Another bonus from the weekend - Maddie made Jimmy BRAVE!
He "showed" her how to do all of the cool things at the lake - like the tube ski!
Maddie's turn!
She loved it too!
Isaac mastered the slide this weekend ...
Life jacket made it a little tough - but he did it, over and over and over again!
Poppa, Grammy, Mema, and Buppa
After the booze cruise the kids ended up in the water again - clothes and all.
Again, Maddie showed James how to "swim" so no one minded that they were soaked!
With eight adults, the cheering section was always excited and loud!
Imagine one of the kids saying, "Watch THIS!" followed by thunderous applause from the boat!
Patrick, Ben, Christy and I snuck away Saturday evening for a quick trip to Tommy's Roadhouse down the street. They are famous for a HUGE pig (named "Sweet Baby Ray") in the back yard that you can feed bananas to.
Patrick has been talking about this for months and I was pumped to go.
(When I say HUGE, I mean like 600 pounds of pig!)
Unfortunately when we got there - this was the sign we saw...
Sadly Sweet Baby Ray met his maker after being struck with a falling tree limb :(
We went out to meet Bacon and feed our bananas to her - but she wasn't super interested...
Sunday the kids went on Big Mable!
Maddie tried out the kid jet ski!
And both kids went on the tube ski again!
I think Maddie is ready for skis!
James was showing off by the end of his ride --- trying to steer himself and singing the Little Einstein's theme song!
The whole group!
(I like to think the Great Grandparents - long time Badger tailgate friends - enjoyed watching over all of us this weekend!)
The younger generations
