Elliott's first trip to the lake house.

This weekend I took Elliott to my parent's lake house with my Mom, brother, and sister while Gary and Dad worked.  This was Elliott's first time spending the night away from home, and I was amazed by how much we had to pack for just a short weekend getaway.  Who knew such a little person could require so much stuff?

It was so nice to have a change in scenery.  The weather was perfect, and Elliott did great being out of his comfort zone for the first time.  Some highlights were: getting some much needed vitamin D, drinking my morning coffee on the back porch overlooking the lake, late night soaking in the hot tub with Mom and Jess, doing a little shopping, making the familiar drive from Hot Springs to Arkadelphia to drop John Allen and Liz back off at OBU, playing [and winning] a game of 5 crowns, and morning snuggles with E.

The only thing that could have made this weekend any better would have been my sweetie and my Daddy, but this is just the beginning of lake weather.  I'm looking forward more memories being made here with the family this spring and summer.
