[Almost] All Girls Weekend

We had a completely delightful weekend! The Waugh family had the pleasure of hanging out at a friend's cottage in the thumb area of Michigan for the entire weekend.

We didn't go up there expecting to sit back and relax . . . there were five little girls in our crowd -- ages six down to one year. We knew there would only be a few select moments of peace and quiet. Like during nap time . . . except for us because our girls avoid napping at all costs. Lucky me.

However, I was pleasantly surprised how well all of the girls got along. That was a huge relief. Not that I expected it to be horrible . . . but you just never know with this crowd of emerging divas. Here's a sampling of the gaggle of girls we were dealing with.
Someday, they will talk about make-up and clothes and boys and avoid their parents at all costs. But this weekend, their happiest moments came from hanging out by the rock in the lake, riding the botsun's chair and playing "Mermaid" in the upper bedroom. [A game they made up that consisted of jumping across two twin beds back and forth. I think they were pretending to jump like dolphins or mermaids.]

And just to clarify, the parents had a lot of fun as well. At least we did. Curt is still sore from riding the jet skis so much.

Although I did discover that I totally suck at Bananagrams. Never play with Scrabble professionals.
