Lake Wedowee 2009 - Part 2

When we weren't on the lake - we were at the pool.

Wes’ parent’s house has a community pool that we had all to ourselves all week. It overlooks the lake & the dock where the jet skis were so it was easy to switch on and off. The pool had a kiddie pool, hot tub & big pool with a massive beach walk in that is perfect for the little ones. Nate walked around saying “hot pool, warm pool, or cold pool” all day long. They played - and played - and played for hours every single day. It has the perfect set-up! Kendal loves to race in the pool. Nate quickly caught on to this game and he loved to sit in his boat and kick his legs as fast as he could to win the race. Then he’d say “more race” over and over. The kids loved their popsicles and Capri Suns at the pool.









Nate loved Grandpa G’s truck. He’s obsessed with any mode of transportation so you can imagine his excitement when he got to ride in the back of the truck with his cousins down to the dock. He also loved the 4-wheelers. He got to go on a few rides with Wes and his Aunt Leigh.



We spent a lot of time on the back deck. Alisha brought little cars and bikes that the kids rode over and over and over back there. That combined with grandma G’s radio for some dancing and Spencer’s bubble machine – they were set. When they weren’t running around on the deck, they were in the loft playing with toys. Kendal shared her stuffed dogs with Nate which he loved. He even named one Taco after his friend Claire’s dog, Tahoe.





One night we roasted marshmellows outside and made smores. The kids loved it and the smores were y-u-m-m-y.





We slept in one of the rooms in the basement which we nick-named the cave. It’s an awesome, window-less room. We put Nate’s pack-n-play in the closet and he slept really well! It was so dark in there we never knew what time it was. The only way Wes and I knew it was time to get up was the pitter-patter of little feet upstairs. Robert & Doreen were nice enough to give up their room so that the little grandkids all had a closed door to sleep behind. Thank you!

We celebrated quite a bit during our week on the lake. We celebrated Fathers Day for Robert. We had a little baby shower for Alisha and Leigh who are both having a little girl in September. And we had a little birthday party for 3 June birthdays!

One thing I love about visiting Wes' family is that we get a dose of southern charm while we're there. Everyone is always so nice and friendly with their southern accent that I love. I love going in to the tiny town of Wedowee to go grocery shopping at their little grocery store. It's the perfect small town experience for me!

Thanks Griffeth clan for another fun week full of great memories. We had a blast and it was fun to catch up with everybody! You're always welcome to come visit us in Sin City. :)
