Eilers 6: June 2012

Yes, I know this is several days late, but we have been crazy. The last thing I want to do is sit at the computer and blog..

We had a great father's day weekend. We headed to the lake house in Horseshoe Bay. I call it "the lake house", sounding like it is our lake house. It is NOT our lake house, but I feel like we have some ownership in it because we are blessed enough to get to go there often. Our good good friends, The Garrison's, actually own it (well, his parents). We practically go every time they go. So, I call it "the lake house."

It was such a great, relaxing weekend. The big kids enjoyed fishing on the dock with the dads while the little two (6 kids in all) napped and the mommies READ! It was heaven.

The lake house is located right behind the Marriott in Horseshoe bay, so we always walk over there Saturday mornings to visit the bird lady. She has tons of birds she takes care of and she always lets the kids help her feed them. I guess since it is summer time, she had a few extra birds out and about to pet, feed and hold. She even had a 9 week old owl who was the friendliest little thing with the biggest orange eyes. I fell in love and tried to convince Brent we needed an owl. Ha!

Saturday afternoon, we loaded up on the boat for some fishing and swimming. We even stopped at the boat "store" for our tradition of ice cream on the boat. I mean just relaxing.

We ate good food, the moms read, the dads fished, the kids played and fished. It was so nice. Such a great weekend!
