My Happy Place

We spent the weekend at Lake Tenkiller with my cousin Suzanne, her husband Jimmy and their son Luke. It was so much fun that we all left with dreams of buying lake cabins and new boats (after winning the lottery, of course).

This is the lake Suzanne and I grew up going to with my dad, sister Amy and usually dozens of our camping group friends who also had boats and loved Lake Tenkiller. We have so many wonderful memories there and were excited to pass that along to our children.

It was great to see Luke and Grayson playing together and enjoying the lake. Luke was a non-stop swimming and jumping machine. He is such a fish in the water which is amazing since he's never had a day of swim lessons in his life.

At night when we needed the boys to stop running around and start relaxing we popped in an Elmo DVD and they snuggled in with their pillows and favorite stuffed animals. So adorable.

There was also plenty of time for bonding with Uncle Mikey and the rest of the gang. Here's a little storytime moment that entertained the boys for a solid twenty minutes.


I also managed to capture a few videos of the fun. The first is Luke when he got his guts up to jump off the front of the boat which is higher than the back platform.



Meanwhile, Grayson preferred to stick behind the wheel and check out all the gauges.



Saturday night we ate at one of the floating marina restaurants and then the boys enjoyed throwing leftover french fries and crackers to the fish off the dock. I'm not sure if you can tell from this video, but Gray like the throw a fry, eat a fry approach.
