The Andrews lake house is only an hour or so from Dallas on Cedar Creek lake so it's a pretty easy drive. Well, easy for most. Mason is NOT the best traveler and made his discomfort known about 30 minutes in. Half an hour can feel like an eternity when there is a screaming child in the car. Mason is still rear-facing and Hazel was taking the space next to him, so other than singing songs and nursery rhymes there wasn't much we could do to amuse him. But we survived and the trip was well worth it!
I have never seen a lake as choppy as it was on Saturday. Their house is in a cove which made for some really big waves. It seriously looked like the ocean! We had a yummy lunch when we got there then enjoyed beverages on the patio while Mason napped and Thomas and John played in the inflatable pool. Dorrie and I indulged in Strawberry-Amaretto Milkshakes and we all enjoyed watching the water and soaking in the breezy weather. When Mason woke we took a walk around the area and then let the boys play to their hearts desire. Mason had more fun than I knew was possible with a cooler full of ice - it provided endless entertainment for him! We had shrimp cocktail and cheese and crackers for appetizers that night, and a delicious beef tenderloin, grilled asparagus and baked potatoes for dinner. We finished the night with cocktails at the firepit down by the water, and Dorrie and I indulged again in fire-roasted s'mores. After breakfast and playtime on Sunday morning, we hit the road and were home in time for Mason's nap!
We can't wait to make it out to their lake house again, especially once Pete's boat arrives. Thanks for the great time Andrews family!

No, it wasn't sunny and no, it wasn't particularly hot, but I really wanted to wear my floppy hat!

Good people, good food!
