Community Lake Getaway

This past weekend we were blessed to be able to go to a beautiful part of the country...Lake LBJ.  Julie is a little biased because this was the very lake she grew up on, learning to ski with her snoopy skis tied together, fishing with her Snoopy bobber, camping, and enjoying the pure beauty of lakes. 

Thanks to the Purdys (Caryn's family) for opening up their lake house we had a wonderful time with our Community and the kiddos (6 kids under 5 years old).  We missed the Shepelwichs but baby Graham will soon be making his appearance into the world and didn't want to chance it being down in Kingsland.

We got in just in time for a pre-bedtime boat ride (Caleb's first time ever-he was a little uncertain but warmed up to it pretty quickly).  This could have been a huge mistake because he LOVED it so much that night, he woke up just about every couple of hours wanting to go back on the boat.  It was really cute at first but got pretty old around 2 am.  

      He is even comfortable sitting on Mr. Stacey's lap and driving the boat

Love these two boys-they are two peas in a pod

After a yummy Smith breakfast taco, we hit the boat again with the whole group.  

The Grundy Family and Braysen's first time on a boat too

Adorable Grace

And Grace's brother Sam and their Mommy, Cori

Had a relaxing afternoon of naps, lake swimming, dock diving, and more food.  Caleb is warming up to idea of little ones around.  He loved playing with Sam and will soon be a great big brother!

On the roof the dock

After Caleb watched Craig and Mr. Stacey flip off the roof...(these two are pretty synchronized)

...Caleb was all ready to jump in!  Next year he might be old enough to jump from the roof but this year he only jumped from the dock!

Caleb loved playing on Wyatt and Stacey's bunk beds

Dinner was at the famous, Cooper's Pit BBQ in Llano-WOW!! What a delicious place!

These two boys are enjoying their dinner but are curious if the animals are going to jump off the wall and play with them.

The whole gang with full tummies

We opted to skip out on the dusk boat ride and prayed for a good night sleep.  Not so much but at least Caleb has a passion for boats and the lake like his mommy.  Sunday morning we took one last boat ride for a little tubing action.  Caleb is now SO comfortable on the boat and lounging back catching some rays!

Craig got on the tube and held on for dear life.  Either Stacey was going to have to give up or Craig was going to get hurt staying on.  On the second round, Stacey gave up!

Caleb is really enjoying watching his Daddy on the tube!! (needless to say)

What a fun weekend and a great group of people to share it with!!
