This past weekend we spent with our friend's, Lisa and Dean, at their vacation home near Raystown Lake.  We had beautiful weather, wonderful meals prepared by Lisa, and so much fun boating and swimming in the lake with all the kids.  Cadie surprised us by spending so much time in the water, swimming and floating and playing with the other kids.  Even with shivering, blue lips, she still refused to get out of the water.  But we took a break for lunch and to feed the fish at the docks before we headed out for an evening cruise and swim.  We rounded out the evening with a fun family meal, discussing what our favorite and least favorite parts of the day were.  My favorite was swimming in the lake with all the kids, my least favorite was the day coming to an end!  Cadie was so spent, she fell asleep in record time: less than 5 minutes!  Thank you Lisa, Dean, Ethan, Emily, Evie, and Elliott for the hospitality and great memories.
