Surprise Gram!!

This past weekend we surprised my mom to celebrate her 50th birthday!  We took her to a house on Lake Oconee for a fun family weekend!  We spent lots of time outdoors playing on the lake, and enjoying David's boat.  Kylie even learned to kneeboard and loved it.  Once she learned how, we couldn't get her off!  Aiden loved the boat (the "driving boat" as he called it) and anytime we announced a boat ride, he was ready to jump on.  He loved driving the boat and reading each gage to us, telling us how deep it was, how fast we were going, etc.  Each morning we enjoyed the view and did a little fishing.  Gram caught a good size bass one morning and Ty wanted to "pet" it.  The kids played in the shallow water right off the bank, and they loved jumping off the dock.  Aiden would get a running start and leap into the water.  Jeff and Marcus took the kids for a ride in the paddle boat (the 2 of them and all 5 kids in a tiny boat was quite humorous) and the kids were eventually able to paddle themselves around.  We ate lots of yummy food and enjoyed spending time with Nana and Papa too.  We played cornhole, some board games and the guys played pool at night in the basement.  It was a great trip to celebrate a wonderful mom and grandma!
