Lake Oconee Weekend

We met up with the Benich family at Lake Oconee's Reynold's Plantation for a long weekend getaway! Nicci met us with Rowan and Ellis from Charleston. And we came with all our gear, Poppa & Dede, and a babysitter!!! I was initially very worried about having such a young baby in a hotel for 3 nights (screaming all night waking up the whole floor), but Bree did great! She made it very easy. And it definitely helped to have Mandy and Erin there at different times so we weren't stuck in the hotel room all day and night.

Wade was so excited to see Nicci, Rowan & Ellis that he was giddy for 3 days straight....the constant supply of sugar may have contributed too. It was a whirlwind of lollipops, gummy bears, ice cream, smores, jelly beans....the list goes on and on.

We had so much fun in the water and sun! We jumped off trampolines into the lake...
We took REALLY fast boat rides. Wade said he wanted to go fast, but completely lost it when we hit 50mph. His cheeks were flapping in the wind. Ellis, on the other hand, LOVED the speed...
Bree showed off her BBBF (baby bikini back fat). We'll start her summer bikini diet next year...

We enjoyed a nice dinner (pictures before!) with the whole family...

We actually got a decent picture of the 4 grandkids...Wade had another "dancing with myself" experience...We toasted with each other (Wade's bottle included!) CHEERS...

We spent hours in the pool throwing the kids. Wade: "AGAIN! AGAIN! Really high!"

We relaxed on the wall overlooking the lakeWe went fishing off the dock (or as Beau put it, "fed the fish our worms")We all took turns spoiling Bree...

And just had a wonderful time together!!!

Here are more pictures of our weekend of fun...
