First- Music talk- loving this song above... like obsessing...
okay.
I ventured to Conneaut Lake Friday night after I got off of work. I stopped home for a quick bite to eat and pick up Chance (Bri stayed at home to help his parents Saturday morning). We got on the road at about 7pm and was at the lake by 8:30pm. My mom and I stayed up, had some wine and played Telepathy! We had a blast!
Chance got all sorts of love and cuddles from his grandparents!
Saturday morning we got up, took a walk and ate breakfast!
My grandfather built this cottage. That big front window use to slide up so we could store the pontoon boat during the winter in the living room, now it's sealed and we no longer do that, but it was a great idea to do that!
The cottage has 5 bedrooms and as children we would go up there often- my Aunts, Uncles and Cousins would be there also- it was always a full house!
It was so beautiful out and my mother and I needed to get some fit bit steps in so we took a nice, long walk around the neighborhood and looked at all the cute cottages!
Midway is the beach we belong to. They keep it so nice - it use to be a very popular place to go in the summers but as I grew up, it became less and less of a place people went... It's kinda sad that it's not a destination place anymore. I have had some of my very favorite memories there and would never trade spending my summers there for anything!
We arrived back to the cottage, changed and headed down to enjoy some beach time!
We call this "The Shed" and it opens around noon daily- they have all sorts of snack foods, slushies and games to play- When you go inside, you see writing all over the walls- people sign it with permanent marker that they have visited - our names are EVERYWHERE IN THERE! I mean we had so many friends and we would all sign it each time we were together for each year! ---AHHHH the good ol' days!
Saw this in the book I am reading and it really resonated with me:
Haha- just for fun ;)
My Dad made me a blood mary! Thanks Dad!
Chance and I left Saturday night around 7:30pm and it took us two and a half hours to get home when it should only be an hour and a half. The construction is TERRIBLE!
But - once you get on the road up there- it's truly dreamy views:
On Sunday, Brian and I went to North Park with our new bike rack and Brian's new bike to meet our good friends Nikki and Matt!
I made a video of us riding- I think next time I will stick the go pro to my helmet, I apologize for the rocking and shaking - I wanted to try it on the handle bars first...
Side Note: Look how crazy this is- I checked it out while I was at the lake and while I was biking, I had to think how grateful I am to myself for quitting. I mean it- I give myself a big old pat on the back for that one!
You CAN quit if you really want to! Trust me, you're bigger than that!
We biked about 9 miles - it says 8.31 since we forgot to sync our fit bits when we started. We remembered about a half mile in!
Bear destroyed his new toy! Stuffing Everywhere!
Summer nights :)
My Sister graduated from Cal U! I am so proud of her!
I made her a big poster to show at the party
It's pretty busy around here lately- Summer is finally feeling like it's here and there are always loads of projects! I painted my dresser I have been wanting to paint for over a year today! I will show a before and after once I get all the hardware back on it.
I hope things are going good for you, anything fun planned this summer? Leave me a comment!
