Woods & Lakes & Snakes OH MY!!


Last weekend we headed out for another long-weekend trip.  This time we headed to a state-park with our "BFF's" the "H" family!  We live about 4hrs from each other, but try to make sure that each summer we plan a few family get-togethers.  This summer our 1st plan was to rent a cabin at the park and spend a relaxing weekend with each other.  The girls were THRILLED to see each other again!






There were smore's to be made --- and make them we did (both nights!)  YUMMY!  The girls had a blast roasting (burning) the marshmellows....and the adults were pretty happy about it too!!


We all played a little ladder-golf.  (This was a new game to us - kinda fun!) 



We spent most of the day @ the lake on Saturday - the girls had a ton of fun -- it was quite hot, but the water was cool, and even the adults had to get in every once in a while just to cool off.


We went for evening walks - and the girls just had to have walking sticks.... the daddy's delivered. 


We had a GREAT time (MINUS the HUGE snake that we had to deal with at the cabin -- but I won't bore you with those details...all I'll say is that Mr. H had to do some crazy things to get that snake out of our cabin & who knew that snakes could climb trees???  Not me!!!  AND ... I got ZERO sleep the last night we were there as I let Anne Marie sleep w/ me in a twin bed & maybe I might have felt a need to sleep with the light on!!)  But other than the visit from "our little big friend" we really did enjoy our weekend!!  Can't wait to see you all again H family!
