Lake Pickwick

Labor Day weekend we were invited up to Mississippi to spend the weekend with the Marquis family at their family cabin. As much as we wanted to go, we were a little hesitant at first. Tucker had a track meet in Mobile that weekend and Cutter had football. Thankfully, we decided somehow we would make it work, and I'm so glad we did. It was a weekend not a single one of us will ever forget!

We made this sweet boy a cozy little bed in the closet, and he loved it. 

 Since we arrived at night, we weren't sure what to expect once it was daylight. Talk about a gorgeous treat to wake up to, it was beautiful!

  And we got plenty of exercise in trekking up and down those steps. My legs were killing me.

Hank and I were amazed at the boathouse. This has to be the most brilliant concept for a lake house.

 

Hank was ready to get the day started.

 

What a view.

Time to launch the boat and hit the water.

We also made a trip to the dam and being we were so close, we also crossed over into Tennessee.

I love this! Just enjoying the company and nature. 

We literally spent just about the entire day Sunday on the water. Between boating and floating, it was a perfect day.

We got a little tour of the area and thanks to Leann, we learned about some of the local history. We got lucky enough to see some of the actual goats on Goat Island.

After such an exciting and full filled weekend, you'd think we could at least take a normal picture. Oh, this IS normal for us.
