An evening at the lake.

It's been a busy week with Family Camp going on. The girls camped out with Chris for three nights, and Darby and I have been joining them daily for some quality beach time. It's been great and fun and the girls have just been having a wonderful time with their cousins. But, this night, we took some time off from camp to hang out with some special friends.

We had their lake all to ourselves, and it was glorious.



























This is Karol, "Mrs. Buchholz" to my kids, and who I also like to refer to as "the pied piper" because when Karol is around I become non-existent. Yes, I've got some snacks in my bag, but they don't want mine, they want "Mrs. Buchholz's snacks." I also have bug spray, the same exact kind Karol has, yet they don't want mine, they want "Mrs. Buchholz to spray us with hers"

"Hey Darby, let me get you all situated with your life jacket" I say, "No, can't Mrs. Buchholz do it?"

It's hard to find great friends for your kids AND great parents to match, and I have found both.





(thank you Karol for being so great to my kids, you are beautiful, inside AND out!)










It was a great evening, ending with a quick dip in the pool. Perfect! Thanks Paul and Karol! Your family rocks!
