We had such a great weekend at our place in Lake Cumberland this memorial day weekend! With all the craziness of life, our family LOVES taking a long weekend at the lake to relax, unwind and slow our pace down for a few days. I am definitely a city girl and like the hustle and bustle of things, BUT going away to the lake allows me to regroup and take some much needed family and me time!! Things are just slower paced there and much more relaxed. Although I still have “chores” and things that need to be done when I am there, it is different from being at home where my to do list is never ending!
The weather was gorgeous this weekend and we were able to take the boat out both Saturday and Sunday. The water was pretty cold so Cody played on the boat with his water table and other toys.. although mama got in the water :) We did have to take the boat slow because my big belly just couldn’t take driving too fast and hitting the waves…. my mom was joking that I was going to have that baby right in the lake! lol!! (NO… not just yet little man!)
In the evenings we had a big dinner and then sat out by the fire which is SO relaxing! In between, we take the golf cart out and drive around just to say hi to the neighbors and see what’s going on.
Overall, the lake is a blast and I have had SO many great memories there growing up (I started going there with Steve’s fam when I was 16) and I look forward to making so many more memories with Cody and baby boy #2!! Cody already loves it there so I know it will only get better the bigger he gets!
As things just get busier and busier, I really think we all need places we go that allow us to unwind and take a breath. I know that is one thing (of SO many things!) I am thinking about with the arrival of my little man…. life just keeps getting busier and I know it doesn’t slow down with a second child so for my SANITY I have to force myself to find and take those moments to relax and enjoy life. Lake Cumberland is that place for me!!
I didn't take any pics this weekend but found this pic from last year at our Lake Cumberland golf cart poker run. Look at how young Cody looks and how LONG his hair was!!
