We spent the weekend at the lake

We spent the weekend at our lake house with our best friends. Together there are five kids in five years. The weather was perfect and the agenda was non-existent. We played four games of Settlers of Catan and two rounds of Ticket to Ride as we celebrated Jaclyn's 35th birthday.

We loved on each other.

We fished.

We ate. A lot.

We used our imaginations. {Yeah, I really have no idea. But an older kid was clearly involved.}

We lounged together.

While the kids were fishing or chasing each other or collecting sticks and rocks, Jaclyn and I were able to read for awhile. She started "Beyond Ordinary" by Justin & Trisha Davis and I dived into DiAnn Mills' "The Survivor," a fiction book that wasn't as personally challenging as the non-fiction books I've been reading.

We watched movies in creative seating arrangements.

We had sword fights with old mops and broken fishing rods.

We played beauty shop that somehow became doctor's office.

We wrestled.

We made shotguns out of broken fishing rods that had been swords earlier in the day.

We swept the grass.

We huddled together to discover.

We jumped in leaves. Yes, in March.

We laughed. We talked. We shared. We stayed in pajamas. We rested. We grilled. We spent the weekend at the lake.

What did you do this weekend?
