We have gotten to know a great family in our ward. We have plenty in common and a natural friendship has formed quickly. I'm sure we will be forever friends with Byron and Monique Lott and their four kids. Monique is from the area and her family has a vacation home by a lake. We decided to take a little getaway for General Conference weekend.
Although it's October and the water was by far not the warmest, the kids were not deterred and played constantly in it!
They challenged each other to jump off the dock. It was like the polar bear plunge! They all gave in to sibling pressure and did it!
Gavin is taking a running start. I missed his entry though!
Makenzie thinking long and hard about it!
And then she did it!
You didn't have to wait for Jordan!
I tried long boarding for the first time! It was a lot of fun.... because I didn't fall in. Tyler tried after me though, and failed. He got mighty wet. I wish I had pictures of that, but I don't!
Plenty of things to do...
I think we did 10 loads of laundry while we were there. The kids would be cold and change into dry clothes, but before you know it, they would be back down by the water and ever so slowing be drenching wet again!
There was a little napping going on... but of course not while watching conference. :)
We went on a boat ride. The lake is so clear and beautiful.
Here's Monique with her little guy, Deacon. He is such a mellow, happy dude!
We may start making this a new conference tradition!
