This past weekend the Blind Pig family enjoyed a flip flop weekend. There were lots of:
Sisterly Harmony,
Boat Riding,
Uncle Sam
Driving Lessons,
Swimming,
Sand Playing,
Treasure Hunting,
Fishing, and Fish Eating. We stayed with The Deer Hunter’s Uncle Sam and Aunt Wanda. I’ve wrote about their place at the lake before.
We’ve been visiting the campground for years-even before we had the girls. Yet, each time I visit I’m intrigued by the old house and out buildings that sit amidst the campers. I always want to know what it was like to live in that house-before the lake was even there-I wish the old house could share it’s stories-it’s wisdom with me. This past weekend-I got a little peek into the history of the house-a little peek back in time-back to 1863.

May 26, 2009 at 1:52 amWhat a fun weekend. It reminds me of when I was about Chitter and Chatter’s age. Our family had a boat, and we spend most weekends in the summer at a nearby lake swimming, skiing, and picnicking. Good times. 🙂

May 22, 2009 at 12:34 pmWhat a great weekend. Your old style family values are showing again….and it is a beautiful thing to see!
What treasures did the girls find? Did I hear something about sunburn?
If walls could talk…we must have a treat coming up soon!

May 20, 2009 at 7:53 amI’ve always wanted a place by a lake. A little cabin with a big fireplace and a screened-in porch where you can play cards and board games under the yellow bug light and hear the crickets and the frogs talking. And the sand in the sheets, can’t forget about that part! 🙂
Where’s Tipper in her swimsuit?

May 19, 2009 at 10:37 pmWe just had an unseasonable cold snap (frost in some places), so I’m really envious. The sky looks so pretty in those pictures. Sigh….

May 19, 2009 at 9:30 pmLooks like you all had a great time. Anxious to hear about the old house, I loved the show If Walls Could Talk.

May 19, 2009 at 8:54 pmAll of that looks so wonderful. “If Walls Could Talk” is such an excellent show. It really highlights all of the reasons to love an old house.

May 19, 2009 at 8:53 pmAlways like when you all go to the lake. Love all that land and water. The girls look like they had a blast driving the boat. My Uncle Richard let me drive his once, but I wasn’t very good at it and couldn’t keep it straight. Guess that’s why I can’t drive. 🙂
That was a great shot of the wake left by the boat with the hills and the sky beyond. Now that’s what I would call a ‘money shot.’ xxoo

Sounds like you had a fun weekend. You’re so fortunate to be able to get away as a family and enjoy boating, swimming, and being together. Have a great Memorial Day!

May 19, 2009 at 4:24 pmSounds like fun!
We haven’t had our boat out yet, but I hope it’s coming soon. Too cold for swimming for me.
Can’t wait to hear what the house had to say.

Makes me feel like I’m right there.

May 19, 2009 at 1:40 pmOh this makes me so ready for summer! Looks like it was a blast.
Patti
May 19, 2009 at 12:32 pmYou all are lucky for the boating and fish eating adventures. It’s still too cool here for the river. BT did get the boat out of the shed last night. He vacuumed and washed it. He’s got the boatin’ fever.
Good family fun!

May 19, 2009 at 11:23 amWhat a great week-end you all had. We did flip-flops this week-end, too, but my daughter ended up with a broken toe. So, no more flip-flop football for her!

May 19, 2009 at 11:10 amOooh, I can’t wait to hear what the house at the lake has to say! Looks like a blast of a weekend. I love those kind, when you aren’t at home and can really enjoy the family.
