We went to the lake this past weekend and had the best time!!! Despite E having a high fever all weekend, Jackson throwing up Saturday night and the boat not working it was still wonderful. I feel so lucky that even with all the above mentioned trouble we have friends that you can still have a GREAT time with. We arrived about Friday at 6. Made a quick dinner and got ready for a evening cruise on the lake. Kids were all in bathing suits when I discovered E's fever. I didn't bring a thermometer but I had meds. So I gave him some and sent everything down to the lake. Him and I stayed back a few minutes to let the meds kick in. 20 minutes later we headed down and found out something was wrong with the boat. J worked and worked but couldn't get it started. So the kids swam off the dock and I took E back up. Got him to bed early but it took us to about 10:45 to get the other 4 to sleep. Surprisingly it was Av and Stella that were the last ones to fall asleep. The next day E still had his fever. After J got the boat working off we went for a nice ride and swim. I only kept E out there for brief periods of time. Marci couldn't keep Emi out for long either bc she is only 5 months and it was super hot. So her and I spent a lot of time in the house with the babies while the dads hung with the big kids. They had a blast. They tubbed and tubbed and tubbed. A lot of times it was Jackson on the tub with the Av and C. Even at one point Marci and I tubbed. They even got me to try wake boarding. I was kind of close but I think my fear kept me from totally getting up. Saturday night we grilled and then took our sunset cruise. We got the kids to bed much earlier that night. 9 I think. Somewhere around 11 is when Jackson threw up. He was fine afterwards, never found out why. It was just weird. Sunday the dads and big kids spent all day on the boat again. Marci and I and the babies were on and off of it all day. When we finally left at 5 C was asleep in the car before we even got on the main road. A Taco Bell dinner stop was slightly a disaster (C had peed herself in her sleep in the car and I didn't have any clean clothes for her and then I spilled my huge Sprite on myself, E and C in Av's clothes. J hates Taco Bell and I'm sure I will never talk him into it again.) and ended our fun. The weekend went too fast. It was one of the best weekends. We love you guys Marci, Brent, Jackson, Stella and Emi!!! Thanks for being such great friends.
