Weekend at the Lake

Well, we just finished up dinner and we were talking about how in the last 27 hours we spent 10 hours at the lake so far this weekend. Whew...we all feel a little 'sunned' It has been really nice though. Friday night we had our small group from church out to the lake and got them all out there in shifts over 4 hours. Everyone had a good time and spent some time in the water...either swimming or in the tube. While not on the boat we had everyone over to our place for a BBQ and smores. It was a nice time with friends. Our friends from Hawaii (Kent & Erin & family) are in town and we had a chance to hang out with them as well. It is always great to meet up with friends we haven't seen in a while. We went with them out to white fence farm the night before and checked out the animals and let the kids hang out for a while. Good times.
Saturday we were back up at the lake with some friends that live up in Loveland. We had a good time relaxing, doing some wakeboarding (getting some nice jumps in :-)...nice Matt) and hanging out. It was a beautiful day and HOT. Being in the water felt great (77 degrees right now..warm).
We've been really enjoying having Rachel here with us this summer and have got to do a lot of fun things together. We had a fun 4th of July with all of us watching fireworks at City Park by our house. It was really a good show. We made it down to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival and had fun looking around and checking it out...we've been out doing some hiking and then of course the trips to the lake. She's pretty good at the wakeboard...she can make it almost all the way around the lake without falling. Pretty impressive. Anyway, it's great having her and Blake really enjoys having his aunt around.
Blake is making pretty amazing progress on his walking. He can get around pretty well now. He still prefers to crawl if there's somewhere he wants to get to really quickly, but he can make it across the room on two feet and will be running before we know it i'm sure. He's a lot of fun. We are enjoying watching him learn new things and get more and more interested in what we're doing.
