First Lake House Weekend

We decided to have a family weekend at the lake the weekend after Nate graduated.  Joe had gotten a boat and we were able to fix the lift on the boat slip so he could store it on the lake at the house.  Michael and Sydney came down from College Station.  We also invited Ellie, but this is how it went:

Me: We are having a family weekend at the lake house.

Ellie: I want to come, but Darby is in town, can she come?

Me: yes!

Ellie: Well, Darby has a friend coming with her, can she come too?

Me: sure-but doesn't her friend have other friends she wants to visit

Ellie: no, she doesn't know anyone else in Texas

Me: ok

Ellie: oh, and her friend is bringing her fiancee, can he come too?

Me: uh, yes, but we only have so many beds.  We closed on the house a few days ago.

Ellie: ok, we can sleep on the floor

Me: So, you Darby, Darby's friend, Darby's friend's fiancee-is that it?

Ellie: oh ya, also my roommate Riley.  You can just assume anytime I come she will come too.

Me: So much for the family weekend...

Later- Ellie: and Snoopy (the dog) will be coming too!

We did end up buying a huge bed for her and her friends- a twin bed over a queen over a trundle. But still it wasn't enough beds for everyone!

We did get to go fishing! 

Marley came too!  It was fun pulling up to the lake house and seeing Marley in the back door window when we walked up.

Saturday ended up being really rainy.  Joe invited Austin and his family up, but when they got here, it was mostly raining.  They did get to go out for a second to go tubing before it got dark.
