Lake Martin Getaway

To kick off a summer of fun, we loaded up the van with all 5 of us (yes, even Piper!) and hit the road for Alabama!  We were able to spend a few days first at Neal's aunt and uncle's home on Lake Martin.  Their son, Winston, is just a few months older than Meredith, so it was so much fun!

There was lots of time in the boat and on the lake of course!

Our first trip out was on Father's Day - we took the boat to church!

This was slightly more fun than our typical church commute!
And the view at church was pretty amazing too!

Later, we took the boat out for more typical lake activities, including tubing!

Jillian loved helping Uncle Ken drive the boat

Piper was an excellent skipper

Hanging out with Bubbie who came down to spend some time with her whole family!


Jillian was practicing her "thumbs up" to get Uncle Ken to go faster while she tubed.  Her uber careful sister didn't do this motion as much as Jillian did!

When we weren't in the boat, we just played in the water!
 So much fun swimming with Jilly Beans


 They could have jumped off the dock for hours!

The backyard was also lots of fun!
 Stargazing with Aunt Mimi

 Waterballoon fights!
Piper was in heaven!  I think she was hoping we would move in! She was really good while we were there and could run around the non-fenced yard and without a leash just having a blast.  But one morning I went for a run and turned around to find a little follower.


So, there were lots of times when Piper looked just like this - pooped on the porch!
