Long story short, the Rubles were in town, the weather felt like the middle of August - it was a true summer weekend at Pearl Lake!
When we were kids Memorial Day weekend was a work weekend. These kids are so lucky that pretty much everything is ready to go - ready to play!
They helped carry the splash island pad down to the lake.
Even though the water was still a little cool - but swimming was a priority.
We have 5 swimmers! Squirt guns out - every kid (and adult for themselves!)
Jimmy and Jojo are buddies!
I think this was after a jet-ski ride - nice hair James!
The boys are speedsters!
So much joy with this heat!
Patrick spent some time on the jet ski - just swapping out kids with each ride!
Some rare downtime on the pad - TJ and Grammy
Jimmy took advantage of the shade of the boat life and the cool breeze -
nothing beats a nap on the boat!
The guys on the boat - Corey and Niki both came to town and joined our crazy!
And when I say crazy - these two are a big part of it :)
Relaxing at the end of the day on the end of the pier.
Grammy and her boys
Major improvement on the paddling from last summer
Met up in the middle of the lake with a few other lake families!
Breakfast helpers -- yummy cinnamon roll casserole and two helpers --- they were really just waiting to lick the frosting spoons!
Grammy and Buppa have moved our old ping pong table up to the cottage.
We are all looking forward to many games in the train shed this summer!
Right now we are working on teaching the kids how to play...
Boys are getting better and are now trusted to run the A track on their own.
This was very helpful when the adults started a game of run around ping pong!
Jimmy is sharing his passion for the Bucky's on Parade with his cousins.
He is great and knowing where they are, what their names are and if he has seen it in person yet or not.
When the cousin's lost interest, he continued studying on his own!
One of the nights we had sundaes and Patrick constructed a banana boat.. just missing pineapple... maybe next time!
Family Photo on the dock!
And the true sign of a great weekend - it takes A LOT for this kid to crash in the car - and if he does, it is typically when we are more than half way home. This time, BOTH boys were asleep before we hit Hwy 21.
Happy Summer!

Lots of boat rides - hats, life jackets and pretzels - life is good!
