Weekend at the Lake

Several weekends ago, the 4 of us along with Papa and NeeNee packed up our stuff and headed for a fun couple of days on the lake! A friend of Russell's was kind enough to let us use their lake house and boat for a wonderful, relaxing weekend! I'll let the pics do most of the talking...
Russell was excited to get his fishing gear out...it's been a while. And the angel (aka Marissa) was by his side the whole time! She loves fishing with her daddy. (On a different note...the angel wings were found in a closet and she wore the pretty much the entire weekend. :) )
Our little angel diggin' for worms.

This was the very cool zip line that Russell and Papa tried out several times! (videos of that to come later!!)
Allie loved diggin' for worms too...my girls showed their true tomboy spirits this weekend!
Just after lunch...we headed out for a little boat ride. I knew it was getting close to nap time so I was hoping Allie would fall asleep just like I used to when I was little! My parents had a boat that had a special little cubby hole and I remember crawling in there and falling asleep almost every time I got on the boat :)

Me with my little water-dog, Marissa. She had so much fun in the water that morning with Papa! She was very excited about the boat ride...
...So were the guys!!
This was the position she was in the entire time! She was loving it!!
It didn't take long for Allie to fall asleep...she had silky, NeeNee and the boat rocking her...what else could a girl ask for? :)
There were, however, no naps in this girls future! She was too excited to sleep:)
We made a little pit stop to do some swimming!
After dinner, it was time for a little "fishin' in the dark". (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, anyone?) :)
Allie was more into fishin' for worms, than fishin' for fish.
Marissa was doing a great job fishing and having lots of fun!
The next morning, I walked outside to this precious sight. Daddy and his girls doing some early morning fishing. This picture of Allie's belly cracks me up:) I love that little belly.
Sweet daddy and daughter time!

Reeling it in!!

Getting her worm to bait the hook...her favorite part!
A girl and her worm. Pure bliss:)
Marissa perfected her cast.



NeeNee joined in on the fishing fun!
One of my favorite pictures of the weekend. So, so sweet:) I don't think there is any place these two would rather be.
And she got one!!!!
Little sister came over to check it out...


Nothing like a little swim in the lake to work up a little appetite for a snack :)
Best swimming buddies!


These 3 were worn out....trying to get a little shut-eye on the dock to bring an end to a wonderful weekend on the lake!
