Lake Livingston Weekend

We had a very fun weekend at Lake Livingston with three other families last weekend, a weekend that we all went in and purchased together at Jacob's school auction.  8 adults, 11 kids and hours and hours of swimming in the lake.  The water was only about 2-3 ft deep right in front of the lake house, so it made it very nice for the kids to play.  Here is a group shot:
Sweet little Annie Jaye:

 Smores on the campfire...Jacob and Brian were all over that!
 The house came with the use of their wave runner and tubes.  The kids had a great time on that, Jacob and Brian were most excited about that!
 Here is a video of Jacob coming in on the tube:

 Annie and her little friend Emerson spent hours and hours on the trampoline, they were on it the entire time:

Here is a video of the use this trampoline got this weekend...I think this was 10 of the 11 kids on it:



Gwyn and her sweet little friend Avery were two peas in a pod this weekend:

 I think Brian hugged Annie a little tighter just because she had on that tshirt, ha!
 Relaxing from such a hard life of jumping on a trampoline!
 I had picked up some glow sticks at Hobby Lobby on clearance a very long time ago, and found them right before we left, the kids loved it:
 I was out in the hammock with my early risers while everyone else slept in:
 Love her smile:
 A rare sight on the drive home...all three asleep!
We came back to our swim team end of season party.  Both kids got medals and sheets that showed their times, it was amazing how each race they swam they both just got faster and faster.
 What an awesome group of kids, our neighborhood is so small geographically and we had 160 swimmers ages 4-18!
Here is a video of the end of season party, which ended with all the kids diving for change that all the parents threw into the pool.  Jacob came out with about $3.40...Gwyn came out with about $0.52.


I told Brian the other day how rough my life is...I've been spending about 3 hours at the pool this week letting the kids swim and play and I also spent about 2 hours making crazy sunglasses out of pipecleaners, pom poms and hot glue for Jacob and Gwyn for VBS:)


 Needless to say, Gwyn did not win the prize of the best sunglasses:)
