Cousins Trip to Lake LBJ

For the past few summers, we have had the wonderful opportunity to go up to Lake LBJ and spend the weekend with Ryan's brother, cousins and their wives. Ryan and his brother, Cody are very close and they have grown up very close with their cousins, Matt and Blake Michelson. They even all ended up at Baylor and all ended up being KOT's.

Here are the boys, all grown up :) They truly are all such outstanding men and it is such a blessing to be part of the family. Ryan is the oldest, then his brother Cody, then Matt and then Blake. Good times are always had when these boys get together. They are all married but Ryan and I have been the only one with a child for the past two visits which means two things.....1. Ryan and I get to realize just how old we are and just how much we can NOT hang with the younger ones, even just by a few years! ....2. Pierson gets spoiled, spoiled, spoiled by all the attention she gets the entire weekend!

Ryan got to show Pierson how to play a crucial KOT game, washers. She didn't quite get the importance of the game, but soon enough she will get the hang of it.

Pierson loved being held by cousin Megan

Cousin Meredith showed her around the lake house and took her down to see the little "fishys". The lakehouse we stay at is Meredith's family's and we are so thankful for them opening it up for us to stay!

We floated in the lake ALOT!

Atleast as long as little Miss wanted to float and then we took turns enteraining.

The wives getting some sun!

Pierson wanted to "walk" on the bottom of the lake and kept thinking it was like her baby pool and wanted to bail off the float

So she would get to swing with daddy

Played a little monkey golf

Got to "drive" the boat

Went out for her first boat ride!

First little life jacket, which she wasn't a huge fan of at all.

Gettin some love from aunt Gretchen

Fun family time!

Laughing, laughing and laughing! There really isn't too many things better than hearing your child laugh.

She was exhausted for all the fun! Despite what I thought would happen, she took great naps and slept fantastic at night.

Daddy even took her out for a little ride on the wave runner by the dock.

We had such a great time with everyone, ate fantastic food, played hard and even got some rest!
