Weekends at the Lake

We've spent the past two weekends up at Edinboro Lake and it has been delightful.  Brett's family gets a cottage there every year for a week and we always try to go up for a few days.  There was plenty of sunshine, boating, water skiing, and family fun!  And thankfully, great weather!

Elijah had so much fun playing with his cousins & digging in the sand!
Looking forward to next year!

And I'm also looking forward to THIS weekend because...
my bestest longest friend is getting MARRIED!
Cheers to a fun weekend celebrating LOVE!*

A few more photos from our weekend at Edinboro Lake...

Boat rides, leisurely walks, lakeside bagels, watching the kids fish, uncle charley's pizza, corn hole games, campfire chats, birthday celebrations, and lots of great time spent with family -- It was so nice to be able to visit the lake this year.  We were living in California last year at this time so we obviously weren't able to visit.  So glad we could make it out this summer!  Any weekend spent on a lake is a good weekend to me!*

At the Lake...

Sunrises.  Sunsets.  Water skiing.  Biking.  Boating.  Tubing.  Pizza.  Beers.  Birthdays.  Family.  Fireworks.  Relaxing.  Laughing.  Lounging.  Swimming.  This was our weekend at Edinboro Lake.  Have I mentioned that I love summertime?  Here's to more weekends spent completely outside!*

Edinboro Lake

I don't know about you, but I am obsessed with any body of water that's bigger than a bath tub.  Something about a large body of water just gets me.  Makes me so so happy.  Whether it's an ocean, a lake, or just a little pond.  I love water.

We spent the weekend at Edinboro Lake with Brett's family.  They rent a cottage there every Summer for a week, right on the water.  It's so relaxing.  Being able to sit on the porch & see the lake glistening right there in the sun makes me so happy.

We woke up super early on Saturday and headed out for a morning of rock climbing at McConnells Mills before meeting Brett's family at the cottage.  I didn't take any pictures while rock climbing (it's kinda hard to juggle a camera AND a rope that is holding your partner in the air...), but this place was very cool.  After a solid 5 hours of climbing, we headed up to Edinboro Lake where we water skiied, played with our nephews, ate Uncle Charlie's pizza, and simply relaxed.  It was blissful.  

 

Oh, and we celebrated Brett's 27th birthday, which is this Thursday!  :)  What did you guys do this past weekend?  Why do weekends have to be so short and go so fast?  All in favor of a 5 day weekend and 2 day work week, say I!!!
