This was the view from the back porch that had plenty of rocking chairs where we could relax and enjoy our morning coffee taking in the view.
It also had an awesome pool where the water felt great and not like bath water. There was a baby pool too which was perfect for the little ones.
The house also had an awesome game room with ping pong, shuffle board, air hockey, foosball, etc, plus a theatre room! The adults enjoyed it, but it would be really fun when the kids are older to enjoy it as well.
But really, the best part about the trip was spending time with lifelong friends.
I love these girls. I have spent many, many hours with these girls especially in college, laughing, talking and praying together. No matter how much time goes by, we can just pick up where we left off and that is always a friendship you can't take for granted. It really was so great spending time with them and watching all our kids play together.
I know I'm biased, but are these not the cutest bunch of kids you have ever seen? I love this picture and really couldn't believe I got them all looking at the camera! Well, of course that is thanks for the other 3 people acting crazy to get them all to look at them. Next time we will plan it better and have them all in Aggie shirts and probably not on a bright orange couch :)
Cooper was so cute that weekend. Poor baby is too young to play with the big kids and while they were running around the house playing cops and robbers, Cooper would be chasing after them as fast as he can go with his army crawl. It was so sweet how much he wanted to be with them. I really can't wait until he walks...I feel like he can do so many more things!
The house also has a fire pit perfect for making smores! The adults had fun while all the kiddos were asleep for the night!
It was so nice that the little kids could nap and go to bed early while the adults could enjoy the house and have some much needed R&R. With the exception of the first night where Cooper cried and cried at night, he slept perfectly the rest of the trip. That kid, it seems to take him one nap/night sleep to get used to a new environment.
It really was such a great weekend. All the kids did so well and the adults had fun too! It does bring me back to our college days when we would stay up until the wee hours of the night "studying", talking, getting java shakes at Sweet Eugenes, and eating ice cream late at night. I do miss college from time to time, but it is a huge blessing to see the 7 little munchkins that have come since then. I am so thankful for college friends that I believe will be lifelong friends.
