Grand Lake 2011

I can't tell you how many times I have been to Grand Lake with the Posey family!  I still remember the first summer they had the lake house.  We went the last weekend of July, but this time was different...
This was the picture I took last year of the final time at the lake house that we made so many memories in all of those years!

(For some reason... I didn't get a picture of the outside of the new house, but it is awesome!)  The Posey family out grew the old one, so it was time to increase the square footage.  The new house has tons of space for that growing family and all of their friends to enjoy.
Here are some pictures of around the house:

This was the bedroom that Gerron and I stayed in!  Isn't it dreamy?  It has inspired me for a room in our house in the future!

There were 4 couples that went this time and we all had a blast!  I have noticed over the past few summers of going that the recovery time seems to get longer and longer after each weekend!  Extreme tubing isn't for sissy's!

The Girls!

The guys!

I also got up on the wake board which I was excited about!  I was taught how to 11 summers ago on this very lake whenever Travis and his college buddies took Elise and I out for an early morning lesson.  We were go go go all weekend long!  When we all got settled at the lake house Friday evening, there was no sitting around!  We went searching for the new addition's sand volleyball court.  The only problem was... it was dark outside and there was hardly any light.  Let's just say I had to be yelled at when the ball was coming my way!  Night vision without glasses... worthless!  Then we went swimming in the pool afterward.  Next morning the ladies cooked breakfast, then we headed out for the lake.  Saturday was filled with tubing!  Our first outing we aired up the new 4 person tube and took turns.  After a couple of hours, we headed inside for lunch.  Again... no relaxing for this bunch.  We headed out to the lawn in the middle of the addition for some BOCCE BALL!

We played a game of couples, and then a game of battle of the sexes!  I had the winning toss for the ladies!  We dubbed ourselves the Jamaican team since we used green and yellow.  :) After that, it was back to the boat.  This time we brought along the other tube and hooked them up side by side.  Our husbands went first with two on each.  The boy in them came out and they proceeded in jump across from one to the other while going in and out of the wake!  Our skilled driver Elise took care of business though.  The girls went out and tried it with a little more grace.  Then it was time to mix and match.  There were some battle wounds after this day that is for sure!  After dinner, it was out to the volleyball court again where it was still daylight!  We played 4 games, switching up the teams each time.  Then it was back to the pool.  Sunday morning, let's just say it was harder to get out of bed!  We cooked breakfast again, and then headed out for some wake boarding.

Everyone got up!  Some might be for a few seconds, but it happened!  Afterwards, we had lunch and packed up to head home.
We are so grateful for our dear friends Elise and Angelo!  We also enjoyed getting to hang out with Chelsea, Blake, Michael, and Kinzie!  Another successful weekend at Grand Lake!
