Cabin time!

Bennett, Madelyn, Cal, Lyla, Jack
The best we could get :)

Every year we are fortunate to be invited to my best friend's cabin.  I have been going there since I met Katie, which was in college.  It is a perfect location as it's less than 90 min from our house so we typically make a day trip of it.  We always have a blast and this year was no exception!

Their twins are 5 and their baby is almost 1.  It's perfect for everyone as Madelyn loves playing with Lyla & Cal and then Jack and Bennett "play" together……with as much playing as you can do when you're almost 1 and 18 months.

It was a gorgeous day to be at the lake!  Humid and warm so the water felt great but the breeze kept it cool enough so we weren't too hot.  We played on the beach (right in front of their cabin), went on a couple boat rides, Madelyn/Ryan swam in the middle of the lake, Bennett/Jack napped on Katie/me, then we took the pontoon to the bar & grill across the lake for dinner.  

The kids did great!  Jack got his second wind around 7:00 so we didn't leave until close to 8:30.  The kids were out within 10 minutes of being in the car.  So thankful for such awesome friends!  We truly enjoy every time we get to see the Papke's!  Never a shortage of laughs!  In a few years we will able to actually sit back and relax a little - these days we are constantly chasing kids but we wouldn't have it any other way!
