Lord help me am I behind!
In my defense we have been, GO, GO, GO and even now we’re on week two of the beach and it’s my first night LITERALLY sitting on the couch and getting Lola to bed before 10!
Then to open my computer and find I left off with Memorial weekend?!?!
Oy.
So here’s the short and sweet of the short and sweet getaway to Poppy’s lake house for Memorial Weekend and Taytay’s birthay!
It was a stressful week for Lou and I but turned out to be just what we needed!
She had quite the crew and had spent weekends previous planning and prepping to make sure everyone had an amazing time- it worked!
Let’s be honest- she really only cared about one little girl being there.
It’s not a party without Lola!
We got there late Friday night and were greeted by Poppy’s brand new shiny boat! The best part is now we just park at the marina and it takes about 45 minutes off of our drive- (making our drive about an hour and forty minutes! This is making our weekend lake trips WAY too easy!!
Lola was SO EXCITED the next morning (and so was her mama) to hear that our SUPER BFF’s, “Baby Henley” and her sweet mama and daddy (and Belbel) were on the way!!
They are 6 months a part and the older they get that gap just cloes and closes.
They are the modern day Thelma and Louise!
Milly might I add, LOVES getting to go on Poppy’s boat and does not miss a single opportunity to RIDE!
Nights at Poppy’s always end on the porch and wake up on the beach hunting clams (and picking flowers along the way)!
The neighbors always spot us and come running and all the dogs in the neighborhood too! Thankfully Milly has gotten SO much better about being around other pups… at least at the lake for whatever reason!
Henny lost ALL her clothes and was soaking wet after 5 minutes of clam hunting- Lola didn’t have a spec of dirt or water on her.
Sunday Lauren and her sweet family came and Lola clung to Harper and Harper was so sweet to her!
They have a camp ground near the marina with a man made beach and play ground that us adults were less than happy about but naturally the kids LOVED it! Minus the sand taking a bit of warming up to for Lola- she eventually moved off her safety of the towel and maneuvered down to where the other girls were in the sand. Though we did have to wash her shoes off abut 8 times when she realized they touched the sand!
That night we finally decided to dedicate a birthday song to Taytay! I think it was the night with the most kids at one time and what makes for a better song and candles than kids fighting over icing?
No worries, all is well again- we get a little crazy about sugar here.
A little night time booze cruise and waking up to mom’s breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls… ahh.
…and cue Mommy and Lo photo shoot!
By Monday Lola decided it was the perfect time to have her first boat nap!
She woke up just in time for us to get packed and to head home! We had one last boat ride to the marina and then a record breaking (even in holiday traffic) ride home!
What an amazing weekend with amazing people! So glad I have these two to make me laugh when I want to cry and hold me when I want to hide!
