Lake Weekend

Two weekends ago we had the 4th annual Driskill/Gailey lake weekend.  Our families have been the closest of friends for over 20 years.  They kind of friends that are really more like family than just friends.  The families are certainly growing as we had 11 kids under 7!  The kids were great together and had the best time!  We missed Matt, Natalie, and Reagan this year.  We always leave wanting more time with everyone, so we look forward to next year.

A great weekend made everyone a little sleepy!
