Weekend with the Girls

While we took the camera, we forgot to use it most of the time. The two little ones were is high gear, probably fueled with sugar from all of the cookies they ate. Both Amber and I were exhausted.  Last time we were at the lake, little Samantha was generally terrified of the water.  It took her until the second day to allow someone to carry her in and get her a little bit wet.  Jessica freaked out at first, the lake being such a strange place when all of her swimming lessons have been in a pool, but this time they both took to it right away.  Samantha still insisted in being carried around, but didn't mind getting wet at all.  Samantha is now wearing panties all of the time--hooray!  It's been quite a battle for Amber.

We did some sunprinting, and played a lot of "that dice game" ( Jessica is not allowed to call it anything else).  Generally it was a great weekend.  However, as you know we take all of our own supplies down there including any cooking utensils we need.  Unfortunately it seems that between our trips the microwave "bit the dust", and I had to resort to the old rusty cookware that's down there, to cook porridge.  I found two pots that fit together well enough that they could be used as a double boiler, and were clean enough to use.  I had forgotten how nice oatmeal is cooked that way!  Almost makes me want to buy a double boiler--except I know how much they cost!!
