annual weekend getaway

This past weekend we had our 7th (WOW!) annual weekend getaway to Katie's family's cottage.  We keep growing each year, and this year was Katie and Aaron's newlywed summer, Mendon joined Buddy as dog guests, and Jeremiah joined us for the first time (well...he was there last year, secretively ;)).
 
 
We attempted for two days to get Mendon to swim, but she wasn't having it.  She did enjoy playing in the water, as long as she could still stand.  We could tell she wanted to get in so badly, and at one point she fell in off the dock due to her own curiosity.  We learned that she can swim, but she immediately booked it to shore.  At least she likes to play in the water.  That's what we get for having a mastiff I guess :)
 


We had a blast, like always :) Even though it rained some of the time, we had a great time playing games and catching up.  We ended the nights with bonfires, swam in the lake, and went to the annual dinner spot, Ye Olde Pizza Pub!

We talked about how it will be fun to see our annual pictures as we continue to expand.  We also said it would be funny in 20 years from now to see how we look (and it was crazy to think that we'd then possibly have some kids in college!).  Thanks again for sharing your cottage, Katie!
