Pickwick with Kids Friends

The kids have been planning to take friends to the Lake for a weekend this Summer. Believe it or not, the weekends that are free are already becoming scarce. So, we decided to do it early so that we didn't miss out on it.  Ally struck out with her friends - they all either had softball, camp, vacation or something going on.  Abby took Joze and Grace - her others were also busy. Oney took Jeb with him. 

We got there Thursday late afternoon and went to the pool in our neighborhood.  They swam until they were shriveled up! Judson went through Jackson to pick Ally up at camp and they met us at the Lake.  For dinner, we went to Pickwick Pizza.  This has become one of the kids favorite places.  They like to play volleyball or some of their other outdoor games.  They especially love the smores for dessert!

Friday, we spent ALL day on the Lake! The kids friends didn't know how to ski...well, they do now!  We got all three of them up on skis.  It was so much fun seeing their reactions/expressions.  Judson did a great job pulling them. 

The New Skiers...

Ally and Max opted to ride Sea Doos instead!

The experienced ones...

Ally and Britt...Good Times!

Judson took the boys on "the ride of their life" and that is all I will say about that!

We went back to the house and cooked out Friday night.  The kids were all exhausted and we all slept good.  My Mother, Ginny, was kind enough to drive all of the kids back to Covington Saturday mid-morning. It was the perfect amount of time for a visit. We then had the house to our self for Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday.  I will do a separate post about that later.
