Trip to Lake McConaughy

The kids and I headed out of town for the Retherford family reunion!  My parents, sisters, and nieces all drove out together.  It was great to see my aunt Sue, cousins Megan, Brittany, Brooke, and Megan's kids.  (Sophie 4, Luca 2, and Annie 2 months)  We had such a great time playing in the sand and water.  Will's favorite thing about the trip was the boat.  He even tubed behind it many times.  Aunt Sue drove the boat very fast and Will leaned over to me and said, "this is so awesome mommy!"  Little Addison liked the boat rides to, but most of all she loved playing in the sand!

Brooke teaching Will and Sophie how to kayak.
The kids all playing in the sand.  We built sand castles and covered each other up in sand even Grandpa Doug let them put sand on him!
Sophie and Will jumping off the back of the boat!
Addison playing in the sand.  Everyday when I took off her suit it was filled with sand!
The last night we celebrated Sophie and my mom's birthday.  

Thank you Aunt Sue for such a wonderful weekend.  We had a blast!  I hope that we can do this every year!  Our lives get so busy and we forget how wonderful it is to take some time, slow down and enjoy our families!
