Grandma and Grandpa at the Lake

A few days after my dad came to visit in August my mom headed up.  She had been teaching, and school finally let out for the semester.  It was a lot of fun to have both my parents up here for about 5 days.  

We decided to spend part of the time they were here at the lake.  Charlie was thrilled that the car was so full both Grandma and Grandpa were going to sit in the back of the van with him.  I think he gets a little lonely back there sometimes!

It is an almost 3 hour drive to the lake if you count stopping for gas/bathroom break part way.  We made it a little longer by grabbing dinner.  It was a terrific weekend, though, and well worth the drive!

Charlie had some awesome cannonballs!

The kids played with Grandpa and Grandma in the pool a bit.  Then we got both my parents out on jet skis.

Her one and only attempt at jumping in!

Much of the time was spent right off our back porch, though.  The kids had their water table and blow up pool that they just love.  The spent a long time practicing their cannonballs into the little pool, which was hysterical to watch.  Anna even spent some time chasing Charlie around with the hose, which made them laugh like crazy.
