Labor Day 2011

My college friends had our sixth annual Labor Day trip to my parents' lake house this weekend.  It is pretty crazy to think how much has changed since those first few trips.  On the first one, Bryant and I had just started dating and there were no kids.  This year we had five children there and we were missing quite a few.  Next year if everyone comes, we'll have ELEVEN little ones.  Wow.  It definitely changes the dynamics of the trip!

 Jordan and Sally Caroline.  She wins the prize for the being the best baby EVER.
 The front of the boat is definitely the preferred hangout.

 What did you think about the boat ride, Sam?
After all that time outside we had some dirty babies.  We decided to make it easy on us and throw them all in one tub.  Unfortunately, I didn't pay very good attention to my camera settings.  Sorry for the crummy picture.

One night my mom bribed all of the kiddos to eat by promising cake with a candle.  We sang "Happy Labor Day" to them and they thought it was so much fun!
 This is where poor John spent most of his time...
 We ate, and ate, and ate some more.  Fancy stuff too.  This was dessert one night...
 Poached pears with mascarpone filling and fresh whipped cream.  Amazing!
 This is really what SC looked like the entire weekend.  She is so happy allllll the time.  Love it!
Every time I'm with my friends I am more and more amazed by all of them.  We are so blessed to have each other and I love them dearly!  Mom and John, thanks for letting us bombard every square inch of your house and for all that you did to help.  We love you!
