Saturday Morning...

How much fun is it when you get to sleep till 8:30 and there is nothing but smiles on the faces of everyone?
The Bateman clan is at the cabin until tonight. We got here late yesterday afternoon and RAN to the boat. Got in some swimming, tubing and rock jumping - we even got to go to the beach yesterday and thats a spot on the lake that is ALWAYS taken. It is such an awesome place to get off the boat, swim and enjoy the sand under your feet. There is nobody around since its in a cove and water is really clear there. Water temps is 81 - a little cooler than last time we were here.
Last night swimming was a blast! Had the lantern going and we watched the spiders doing their work because of the light. Got to see a few stars but it was a little cloudy. We had our own "Olympic" competition to see who could JUMP off the dock the farthest. I took the Gold, Kaylee and Kyle tied for silver and Carol took in the bronze. Everyone took a medal!
We are excited about today - kids are already asking to get going but I have to finish my coffee because the coffee at the cabin - there is nothing like it anywhere! mmmm........
Kaylee is such a great kid and we love spending time with her and the Davis girls. Carol and I have already discussed keeping her... but that might ruin future plans for her and Kyle down the road...... so we just laughed and smiled about it. :)

Well - headed back to the porch to finish my coffee - plan out todays activities - revenge my loss to Kaylee on the air hockey table - get the cooler packed for lunch and snacks and just enjoy the day - God is so good to give us this time together - to invest in each other and be thankful for every single moment.

Please be in prayers for my Grandma - Grandma Hazel is in the hospital .... I will get an update today to see how she is doing. She is my moms mom......

Love you all,
Lonnie
