Bama Vacay :: Day 9


Today we finally made it to Mamo-the-Great's house on the lake! The weather was still a little sketchy at first.... it rained off and on all morning. Luckily for us, the sun popped through the clouds around lunch time.  We had planned some fun on the lake before we had the family and neighbors over for cake for a little belated 80th birthday celebration for Mamo-the-Great.

As soon as we arrived, unpacked and ate some lunch, Papo and Daddy went on a hunt to find life jackets to fit Ashton and Peyton. The went all over creation trying to find them and there was no possible way Papo was coming home empty handed. 






{Uncle Todd was letting Landry play "beauty salon" with his hair in the lake...he's such a good uncle!}

One of the best things about having cousins around when we visit is the sleepovers! We had twelve people sleeping at Mamo-the-Great's house so it was like one giant slumber party! In case you are wondering where in the world twelve people slept, here is how we made it work:

Mamo-the-Great slept in her bed ::  Ashton and Peyton slept on the floor in the guest room :: Landry slept in the fold out bed in the office :: Marie, Jeff, and Cameron slept in the big bed in the other guest room :: Mamo and Papo slept on the fold out bed in the living room :: Uncle Todd slept on the couch in the family room :: and Bobby and I slept in a twin sized day bed.  Total chaos but it worked and everyone slept!


I seriously can't believe this beautiful lady is 80...you would never know it. 

Day one at the lake was so nice...we enjoyed seeing the extended family and neighbors all while celebrating Mamo-the-Great. We are thankful the weather cooperated enough so we could enjoy some time outside!
