"do you have your floatation devices?"

we decided to take another break from our packing yesterday and take everybody up to gk's house on lake lahusage. after lots of texting on friday night, our friends from the atl decided to come with us. they arrived in rome on saturday around 2:00 (sans my bff, the mom. she was feeling a little under the weather). we had coolers packed, floats to be blown up, fishing rods, plenty of iphones and itouches, and the fry daddy to make onion rings to go with our burgers for dinner. we were ready to go! the morning was overcast but the clouds gave way to a beautiful day. it was so quiet on the lake and without any motorized distractions, the kids had some good old fashioned fun. and there is no cell service in the house or on the dock, so that made it even better for them! i tried to document the day for my sweet friend while her husband and kiddos were basking in the sun with us. their middle child was at the beach so she missed the fun as well. next time, we will get the whole family to the lake. we missed you!

the guys enjoyed these vintage chairs. we are on a mission to find more.

fishing, burgers, and kayaking.

more enjoyment of the vintage chairs after dinner. i wish i knew what marsh and em were saying...
and pb and olivia too!

and 2 train rides to end the day.

thanks for coming with us, hazlehursts. and thanks to gk for letting us all crash!
