Weekend at the Lake

We went to my parents lake house this past weekend @ Kerr Lake....so we were living the "fresh" life instead of the salt life. It was nice to get away from everything and have a great weekend with my parents. My parents go this week every year for a whole week for my mom's birtrhday. We arrived Friday night and just vegged until bed time, everyone worked that day but me ;) so we were all tired after the trip. Saturday mom and I went to town to get groceries and the guys put the jet skis over while we were gone. We then laid out on the boat and swam in the lake. Aaron caught a catfish but tying a line with a weight and hook to part of a noodle (the foam ones you float on)and used stew beef as bait, he also caught a huge snapping turtle...I didn't know the lake had those! Saturday night we had a huge camp fire and the neighbors came to hang out...we did it up right with smores and all. They were awesome. Sunday was lots of boat fun and dinner at Pino's-amazing Italian restaruant! Monday was lazy day because it was cloudy and the drive home. The pups had a blast because we just let them run and do whatever and they are worn out!
Here are the pics to show our fun weekend...that we didn't want to end!

This would be Aaron in the back of the car with the dogs. He got back there for about ten minutes to hang out with them and help Jake "Moo Cow Hunt." Jake loves looking for cows :)

Redneck catfishing? I think so! Aaron's stryafoam cooler tied to the back of the jet ski going to check his noodles for fish. LOL

Hottie husband and his catch! He caught this guy in about 5 minutes of setting his noodles. It was a yummy appetizer that complemented the soft crabs :)

The pups lounging after a swim, is this the life or what? Oh to be them for a day!

The crew across the cove, Aaron was showing them the snapping turtle he caught. I tried to get a picture but the turtle broke the line so he is still out there somewhere, yikes!

The pups in their swim gear! This is only for the lake because it is so deep and we like to anchor out in the middle and swim. So instead of them drowning us, we bought life jackets last year so they can float with us. It was some what successful, Jake didn't understand that he could just float but Sandy got the hang of it after she was held by mom :)

Aaron and Daddy chillin. FYI that is the neighbors house in the background, my parents house is to the left from there. Yes that is a golfcart in the background, everyone has one at the lake and they are so convienant to get from the house to the dock with all your stuff!

Mom and Buddy chillin in the shade. Buddy isn't much for swimming but doesn't want to be left at home either!

Neighbors and their beer kayak, they came to visit and of course couldn't leave their drinks behind ;)

Pups loving the boat, and love watching all the action on the lake while we cruise!

Checking out the scenery from the porch. This porch over looks the lake, its awesome!

The neighbors' one-eyed cat who came to visit. He is sweet as pie and is just like a dog-wants to be with the people. But being that Jake, Sandy and Buddy are not cat lovers...I had to escort him home on the golf cart.

This would be the pups exhausted and ready for bed after we got home from our trip. I would say they had a good time and are worn out!

Happy Tuesday...I'm eating my Pino's for left overs for lunch at the office!
