Weekend at Bass Lake

We spent the weekend - (I gave myself until Friday night to update this post so I could still use that) at Bob and Neici's home in Bass Lake, IN and it was every bit of fun as we remembered.  I don't remember dancing around with Kramer at 2 am like I did 5 years ago when we were last there so maybe times have changed a bit, but it was an amazing, relaxing, quality-time-with-family, much-needed break from life in the city, weekend.  I mean, where else can you be comfortable showing up in an outfit and realizing when you leave the next afternoon that you are still wearing the same outfit, like Joe did?  At the lake!

As usual, I took about 2 useful photos and 10 pointless ones.  I attempted to get a few from my mom who has some great ones, but in the interest of time since it will soon be another weekend with new very interesting updates needed, I am going to do a post with the suggestion that you visit http://wennerstromfamily.blogpost.com to see some good pics of the weekend.  I am sure Beth has some.

Thanks to Neici and Bob for hosting us - and for Beth, Rob and the girls for sharing their awesome loft space with us!!! Not only was it a weekend at the lake, it as Bass Lake Days, so there was the annual 5K run that Beth and the family ran. Nice work Beth!!!! And, the annual bike race that Beth worked. Nice work Beth!!!  We did some swimming in the lake, I got to share a "very fast" tube ride with Abigail, we did a lot of playing outside,  and lots of eating, drinking, enjoying the lakeside view and most fun, watching the girls play together.  Lucy spent most of the time looking for Kramer, chasing Kramer, hugging Kramer, asking where Kramer is, and when she looks through my phone pictures and sees one of her and Kramer, she laughs so hard.  So, we are probably in the market or a little puppy one of these days :)

Thank you to Bob, Neici, Rob, Beth and the girls for such a great weekend!!!  We loved every minute and will be knocking on your door next July asking if you have any room in your hotel for Bass Lake days!

This weekend is exciting because we are celebrating Kristy and John's Mexico wedding with a reception in Huntley!!!! Can't wait to see the happy couple!!! 

And, Joe just found out today he is heading to the London for the Olympics for 5 days with his boss and a few guys from the office. So, I am sure there will be some interesting and amazing stories to share next week!
