Over Labor Day weekend we went camping at Beed's Lake with Brian, Barbara, and Micayla McGraw. Brian is one of Nate's assistant coaches and they have become good friends over the last year. Micayla is in 2nd grade so the girls really enjoy playing together. The weather was great so we were able to get out on the water in rented paddle boats and the girls had fun swimming with their dads.
The men took the two girls fishing for an hour one morning - they tried hard, but their were no fish in sight.
We had some nice family time while we were out there. We played bocce ball and had several contests of "the shoot game". This is a game Nate made up (surprise, surprise) based on a Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George shoot ones or twos to see who has to partake in some unfavorable deed. In this game we all sit around - 4 adults and 2 kids - and choose one of two options. The odd persons are out and the majority wins and continues the game. We started out "shooting" either one finger or two fingers, but it quickly got silly with alligators and sharks or covered eyes and covered ears. The last two people left did rock, paper, scissors and the best 2 of 3 won the game. Lilah was very good at this game and soon it became a contest between our two families. It was great fun! Another fun moment was when Nate helped the girls build a stick house. It started out as a way to get the girls out of our hair and turned into the masterpiece you see above. Nate and the girls were very proud! We had the best weekend - it was a great way to end our summer!
