Family birthday weekend

Over the weekend, we trekked up to Lake LBJ for a little birthday celebration for the husband and older daughter. I found a VRBO centrally located on the lake with amazing views and we had a relaxing stay with some great weather.

The girls gave the stand up paddle board (SUP) a try. The husband fished. My mother joined us and whipped up some great meals, including a lemon pound cake for the husband and tunnel of fudge cake for the daughter. I drove the boat and wrangled the dogs. Pepper is our three-year-old girl and highly suspicious one. I attribute it to her terrier breed. She had a barking good time at the geese who dared to paddle up to the dock looking for a handout. The guys in the bass boat fishing in between our dock and the neighbor's dock. The waves splashing against the bulkhead from all the boat traffic on Saturday afternoon. Thankfully, our eight-year-old Ollie is more chill. 

We enjoyed a bit of boating both days, too. We spent time on the lake proper, as well as cruised up the Llano and Colorado rivers for a look-see from the water. We were also up there to tour some homes since we've decided to invest in a lake property to enjoy with family and friends. We wrote an offer today on one that would work for us. I'll let you know how that goes. In the meantime, I'll be spending the rest of my pandemic stay-at-home time adding pins to my LAKE HOUSE board!
