Lake Weekend

We spent a very relaxing weekend at the lake with some Hillsboro friends of Todd's. To be honest, I was not that hip on going due to the predicted bad weather on Friday night, but "we" decided to brave it. Mom kept us updated on the watches and warnings via texting on our way there. I came pretty close to having a full-on panic attack while we were driving through the heaviest rain I have ever seen for about ten minutes(and I just about gnawed my lip off), but, like usual, Todd took it all in stride  (my Mr. Calm, Cool and Collected). Once we got there, the rain stopped and then weather was beautiful on Saturday. The kids insisted on swimming, so we tried it. They lastly less than five minutes-the lake water was just too cold. It was such a good time with no schedule and nothing to worry about-just hanging out, playing and talking. The view from their deck was just amazing and so peaceful. I am very glad "we" decided to go!
