This year, my parents moved full-time to their lake house. That means my mom officially retired and my dad sort of kinda almost retired except that he still works almost every day and has to commute up to Washington D.C. a couple times a week. I sort of doubt he will ever truly retire, just because he literally does not know how to relax. He needs stuff to do. The lake house was a good purchase because it always needs something done – fix a leak, build a garage, mow the lawn, do boat stuff, go to Home Depot three times in one weekend. It’s also an incentive to get us to visit – lake houses are much more fun than the nice but boring house they lived in when I was in high school. The kids beg to visit and cry when we have to leave.
Our visit this year was extra exciting for Caroline, since the week included pony camp for her each morning at the community’s equestrian center. The boys didn’t seem to care that she got to go to camp and they *only* got to swim in the lake, kayak, tube, boat and hang out with my folks. Unfortunately, E couldn’t get out of work that week so we went without him.
Here are way too many photos from our trip. You’re welcome, Mom!
This is Fancy saying “HI”, not being mad. Caroline and Fancy are BFFs.
My children are incapable of making normal faces for photos.
Finnegan was nervous about jumping the first day. It didn’t last long.

Plugging on, while I have two kids passed out and two kids watching Lord of the Rings, which should keep them entertained for approximated 4832 hours.
Sunday:
Matching father-son kayaks
THIS is a vacation
Moana needed help with the wifi’
Monday:
Pretty serious relaxing
Rain delay
Dreaming about Disney World
Tuesday:
It’s tubing time
Big helper
Really excited about watermelon
Wednesday:
The only photo I took, but at least I got everyone in it.
Thursday:
Busy baby
Headed to swim call
Dinner at the club
Friday:
Actual thing my dad got for Father’s Day
MY CORN DON’T TOUCH IT
Saturday:
Waiting for his waffles
Boating is exhausting
Finn screams the whole time on the boat unless he’s nursing
We’ve been go go go go all week – basically just to keep us sane and out of the house and not sitting here in the heat wanting to strangle each other – so having an at-home day feels SO PRODUCTIVE. I cleaned things! And put away laundry! We finally called my mom for her birthday! I did a bunch of stupid adulting paperwork! I might even have time to finish setting up my bullet journal because I am determined to get organized so my life doesn’t collapse this fall when I have 3 kids in school and/or activities.
Literally as I typed that the baby woke up, so now I’m done being productive for a while.

I promise to have Linc birthday party pics up soon, but these are a) done and b) on a drive that hasn’t yet overheated so I still have access. Plus I like documenting our annual things the best, since I can go back and look at last year vs this year. (I took way more pictures last year, because I was way less hugely pregnant.)
