Bring on Becket!

You like the view, don't you? I can tell you I do!
This past weekend we traveled to Becket, Massachusetts in the Berkshires to spend the weekend with our friends, the Helberg's, at their family cottage. Despite the slightly cruddy weather, we all had a great time! Thanks, Glen, Elaine, Livie, and Derek for a fun weekend!

On Friday night Frank barbecued some ribs for the adults and hot dogs for the kids. It was wonderful to eat freshly barbecued food every night! After putting the kids to bed at night, the adults hung out on the dock around the fire pit. It's times like this that I remember why I love the summer!
Tyler, Olivia, and Derek had a wonderful time playing all weekend long. They were not deterred by the slightly chilly, rainy weather. Every chance they got, they were outside in the water (in their clothes, pajamas, or bathing suits!), or....
Looking for worms to....
Fish with!
We caught both fish and crayfish!
On Sunday the sun finally came out and the temps warmed right up. The kids took the chance to get more lake time in.
Derek getting ready to ride the waves on the Jet Ski!
After taking all of us around the lake for a ride in the boat, Glen found the tube, rope, and the kids jumped in!
Bye guys! Come back soon!
After dinner on Sunday, we headed home. A certain someone (Tyler) was asleep by 6:45p.m.. Wow. I wish I could bottle up some of the sun, fun, and great times to use during those restless nights!
Thanks again Helbergs!

That looks wonderful! Tyler got some practice before fishing w/ G'pa P! I love that little jet ski! Where do you find something like that? So cute...is it hard to keep upright on the water?
Can't WAIT to see you guys in a couple of weeks! We can hardly STAND it!
