Wilson Lake

Last weekend we drove up to the Doublehead Resort on Wilson Lake.  The boys and Skoot rode up with me while Kim and Buck went to the Birmingham Airport to pick up Jennifer and her family.  It was a nice relaxing weekend.
The boys found the hammock right away.
They enjoyed swinging and reading while
waiting for the girls to arrive.
As many of you know Kim tore her ACL a couple of weeks ago while playing in a faculty/8th grader volleyball match.  She is scheduled for surgery in November but in the mean time she has a few exercises to do every day.
Kim "working out"
 
Buck and Jennifer enjoyed the back
porch early one morning. 
The girls got their first chance to go fishing
Claire caught the biggest one, Jakob caught the most, Sarah had the most patience, and Topher fished but mostly just enjoyed the day.
Jennifer took advantage of a down moment 
There's always room for marshmallows roasted (or burned) over an outdoor fire. YUM!
