Who forgets their camera at home after an hour in of driving to the cottage?
Today, you'll have to be OK with iphone quality pictures for my weekend recap.
This weekend had the potential to not be so good, but it turned out to be wonderful. When we got to the lake on Friday, the weather was terrible... high winds, rain, and looking like a tornado could come through at any minute. Luckily, by noon on Saturday it cleared up and it was a good thing because my parents came up to the lake for the day! We were so worried the weather was going to be horrible for them, but it turned out to be a beautiful day.
We spent the first half of Saturday at Put in Bay for Christmas in July. What in the world is Christmas in July you ask? It's when the whole island decorates for Christmas, the bands play Christmas songs, people dress up in Santa hats (or as Santa), and you have an excuse to celebrate Christmas in the summertime. Pretty cool, huh? After Put in Bay, we headed back to the cottage to take my parents out for a boat ride. It was such a beautiful night and it was great to have both Billy's parents and my parents together for the day! :)
After this weekend, it's safe to say I'm pretty anxious ready for fall to be here. We have done so much this summer and have been blessed to have some beautiful weekends at the lake, but this girl is tired! Give me some 70 degree days. Ahh...yes. That's what I need.
Allow me to let the pictures do the talking (it is almost Monday, afterall).
...can you find the Santa hat?
How awesome is this Ohio State inspired house?!

My parents on the boat
On Sunday, we decided to take the boat to Cedar Point
and the boys went tubing!
Oh, and I can't forget to mention this.
This definitely happened on the way home..
My husband loves his BBQ and decided to randomly stop at a place
{can you even call it that? It's pretty high class, as you can see.}
off the side of the road on the way home.
One pulled pork sandwich and a side of baked beans later...we were on our way.
After a picture, of course.
Hilarious.
