Lake Jocassee... family, fun, fantastic landscape and football!

Two weekends ago, we got the AMAZING opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Jocassee and the always enjoyed company of kev and mary. We had such a great time down in South Carolina- it was one of the best weekends ever!
A view from the deck of the cottage we stayed at... so beautiful!

This is a view of our cottage from the road. It was really tucked back in the trees. It was gorgeous inside- had a real homey feel!


Luc and I taking in the views : )
Lake Jocassee was huge!!!
Ready for our hike.... Luc lead the way thankfully!


My boys needed a little breather... Mary and I are hard to keep up with!

Mary making sure we aren't too lost and Luc suckin' down the water... not knowing when we'll ever get back home! : )


We are the shadows, but the real beauty is behind us! Loved how clear the lake was too!

Nothing better after a long hike than a jacuzzi bathtub... let's just say I am PRETTY HAPPY here!

The path going to the cottage... I may have tripped once or twice, yes.


Luc trotting over the bridge to the dock to come see what we were doing!


And he joined right in on my nap... such a good cuddle partner!
Erik doing what he does best: pretending to catch fish! : )

Aunt Mary lockin up as we are ready to go to the Clemson football game!

Tailgating at the Clemson game! What a wild experience!


MARCHING BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tailgaters for miles and miles and miles.....


Close quarters at the game... which is exactly why we made so many friends! Haha!


Aunt Mary made the best friend of the night though... he wanted a KISS at the end of the game! Ya'll should probably ask her about it!


Hey Dad! Do you see us?!??! We're the ones in orange : )


THE PAW.
We got to go for a 4hr boat ride on Sunday... we are so spoiled! Such a beautiful day and a great way to enjoy the scenery!

This house was unreal. Just had to take a picture.

Erik liked the dam. He felt it was manly... so he took a picture.


Mary and Luc just hangin out taking it all in...

Our brave and handsome captain... Uncle Kev

Pretty : )


There were various waterfalls in the little pockets of Lake Jocassee... here was one of them. So peaceful and beautiful!


One big happy family...... right Aunt Mary? Haha- we'd claim Luc any day!


Nice little patch of colors here - loved to still be able to see some of that too!

YES ITS MORE SCENERY PICTURES! It was just that pretty! I'm running out of adjectives... teacher yanni, can you help here?

A mini waterfall... kinda makes you have to piddle a little bit.
Remember when Ty and Dad would put paper towels under Grandma Dee's chair at Christmas because we just knew she would laugh so hard that she would pee her pants? LOL. Love you everybody and can't wait to see you all in a month!!!!!!!!!!!!
