On Wednesday night after church we headed to the lake house. We didn't get there until about 9:30 that night, but we wanted to get on down there so that we could have a full day there on Thursday.
On Thursday we enjoyed playing games together...
Hannah and Claire made me laugh because they were just sprawled out (having a seat and laying down) while playing....we don't exactly play by the rules while playing Twister.
We took a walk around the neighborhood (a couple laps each time) both days! So relaxing and peaceful!
Team Watts!
On Thursday we also packed a lunch and ate down on the dock (at the girls' request). It was a little bit more work that eating in the house but a lot more fun!
On Thursday evening the Sanders family and Mimi and Papa came down to the lake to celebrate our birthdays (my birthday was Saturday and Emily's was Sunday, so we were celebrating a couple days early).
After a very yummy dinner of hamburgers and hotdogs it was time for presents. Emily got many things, but she was especially excited about the shirt that she changed into and basically wore the rest of the weekend and these shoes!
Mimi decided to get us two cakes this year because Emily doesn't like Ice Cream cake and Mom knows how much I love it!
I love having a birthday buddy!!
This was a big birthday for me - the big 3-5!
Everyone minus Stanley and Alisha! They were missed!
More game playing happened on Friday!
Mimi came on down to the lake house mid afternoon on Friday and Claire talked her into (not hard) playing a game of Candy Land!
We got our nice camera out and Bert took some pictures of the girls on Friday afternoon while we were outside just in relax mode. I thought some of them were so good!
We had dinner on Friday with Mimi and Papa and one of the girls got this picture of us just sitting around the table talking after dinner, so I decided to include it, because these are my favorite moments at the lake. Just sitting around talking and enjoying being there.
After dinner Papa cut down a dead tree in the front yard and the girls were pretty fascinated by it. The whole process scared our Hannah Beth and she wanted to wait inside, but she wanted someone in there with her. So Abby, Hannah and I watched through the window while everyone else was outside on the porch enjoying the show.
Snuggles with Papa Stan after the tree cutting adventure!
On the way home to Greenville on Saturday afternoon Bert surprised us by stopping by Clemson. It was a fun treat to get to point out some different things to the kids about a place where I have so many great memories.
Our little Clemson fan was giddy to get to see the Clemson field for the first time!
Go Tigers!
We love birthdays and we love Spring break and we love the lake and we love Clemson, so when you mix all that together you have two happy girls! :)
