Lake Martin 2012...Part 2

Back to the lake!  This time, we brought the folks out to spend some time with us, along with Tommy & Barbara Carroll.  Papa loves that hat and we love taking pictures of him with it on.  Fishing was the main activity on our return trip to the lake.  Zach caught some really big ones!  Olivia loved to take care of the fish after they were caught.
Tommy and Dad worked to repair some items while they were visiting.  Ah, how nice it is to have them around to help out.  New mulch, cut trees, repaired walls.  
My little fishermen
Jen, Mom and Barbara
Serious discussions and hunting for fish
Barbara and I got a little exercise on the canoe.  I love this canoe...and our boat:-)
Jen, Dad and Mom
Kobe took to Tommy and decided he was the best bet to sit with on the boat.
Meanwhile, Dad decided to ride the innertube.....as it was ON the boat.  Funny guy! I think he took a nap on the way home.
The crew
Man, we had a good time together.  I finally made them go on a boat ride before they left, and I can never hide my smile while on the water.
Zach's first BIG catch...look at that monster fish!
Cowabunga!  It's time for some dock jumping and swimming.
After mom and dad left, the Plummer's arrived.  Look how everyone has grown.  They are so happy to see each other.  Brady & Parker.  I was nursing Pink Eye, Olivia as well and then Liz ended up with a severe stomach virus and left a bit early.  Luckily, no one else suffered our ailments.  SO LUCKY!
The Aqua Lily again....all week long
Amy & Liz relaxing on the dock 'of the cove'
So happy to see my girlfriends....may this always be a yearly tradition.  Five years and counting.
This year, since everyone has grown up so much, they kids can take the canoe out by themselves.  Wow, they are growing up!
Jen and Dave...in our happy place!
Look at these cuties!  So happy to be together.
Clare and Jen...I'm happy they love the lake!
And now the show will begin!  Crazy boys and Zach finally rode it.
Our last day at the lake 2012.  The Plummer's helped us bring it to an end.  We floated in the 'deep' cove and swam, dove, cannon balled to celebrate.  Kobe even got in on the action.
At the boat ramp to pack her up.  This may be the last time our Cobalt sees Lake Martin....you never know.

On the road to Atlanta to drop off a rental car and head North for the winter.
The Atlanta skyline never gets old...
A set of new tires for the trailer in North Carolina helped up hurry the trip up.
We are officially back in New Jersey!!  Yay.  Diane's pool was nice and welcoming, so we spent a few of our last days of summer at her house.
A little car wash, a little candy and a 'Crap'ichno!  Happy Kids.
Tom fell in love with the bunny.
Luke, Tom and the kids
Nothing wrong with a little hot tub action:-)
