Last weekend Jeff's friend (and his wife) from his work invited our entire family to their lake house for a few days. Their house was on Apple Valley Lake which sits between Toledo, Akron, and Columbus. When Jeff asked if I wanted to go...I didn't let myself think about it too much and just said yes. I'm so glad...because we had a great time!
Brad and Eileen's house was beautiful! There was plenty of room for our 4 kids in addition to their 4. Their house came equipped with a boat, a jet ski, and a paddle boat. I can completely see how they fell in love with the place after only one visit and ended up buying a second home there.
We spent our days playing at the beach, taking boat rides, tubing, jet skiing, swimming around their dock, fishing, roasting marshmallows, playing games, paddle boating, and watching the kids enjoy one another. Although it's tough being in a new place with a curious 16 month old, I still managed to relax.
Here are some pictures from the trip...
