Lake Toxaway

The last weekend in September, we were lucky enough to be invited back to Lake Toxaway for our third year with the neighbors and all the kiddos.

It is hard to believe the first time we came, Ella was only 3 months old and bald as can be!
Now, she is sporting her cute pigtails and running all around the yard and playing with the other kids.

It was an absolutely beautiful weekend. No humidity, sunny skies, temps in the 70's during the day and cooler at night, perfect for an evening fire. Mike even got to see his favorite thing, throw the football around with the other guys.

These two best buddies played together a lot as usual. Here they are taking a break to enjoy a snack on the back deck.

And because they are girls and divas in the making, they had to compare their own pigtails of course!

Loving the beautiful weather and even more beautiful setting!

We went with 5 other couples and 7 kids total, 6 of which were girls so of course, we had to play nail salon. Miss Jaime was the manicurist for all the girls to get their nails painted.

Ella patiently waited her turn and then was concentrating very hard while Jaime painted her nails blue! She even blew on them when she was down to dry them. She woke up the next morning and one had chipped off her thumb nail and she immediately noticed and wanted it touched up!


And these two are double trouble when it comes to cheetos. They made such a mess but had the best time. Allie even taught Ella how to hold them in her teeth and stick them out like she is doing in this picture.


Early Sunday morning before everyone else was up, Mike and Adam decided to take the kayaks out. The lake was calm in the morning and perfect for the kayaking.

We had a great time as usual although since 3 of us were pregnant this year, I have to say, things were more tame than some past trips but still just as much fun. We are lucky to have made such good friends and the kids are so lucky to have such fun memories to look back on. Can't wait for the next trip, next time there will be three new little babies to add to the mix!
