The Tate's Treehouse

Two weeks ago, my good friend Candice planned a girls trip to the river! Friday night we crashed at her dad and step-mom’s house and had a relaxing night in front of the TV and lots of time to catch up. Saturday morning her step-mom prepared a delicious breakfast for us with lots of fruit and the most heavenly cinnamon rolls! You girls know what I'm talking about!! Then we sun bathed around the pool until it was RIVER TIME! On the way to their river house in Martins Landing, we just had to stop and get some good ole country BBQ for the night – yum-e! When we got there the neighbors warned us of the storm coming, but we just HAD to get out on the boat. So, we jumped on with margaritas in hand for a quick cruise! A special thanks to our two captains of the afternoon – Mr. Tate and Landon! And an extra special thanks to Landon for giving each of us a piggy back ride to the shore so we didn’t have to get wet when they dropped us off! Haha… can you tell we’re a bit girly sometimes. Well, then the rain came and boy did it come!! Luckily we ALL made it back in the house before the bottom fell! We spent the rest of the evening eating, drinking, and playing cards on the screened porch! Sooo relaxing! Candice’s family was so great to us and wouldn’t even accept our offers to help clean up after meals, etc. because they said we were on vacation! :) We felt like we were on vacation! We had such a blast we might even think about asking the boys to come next time, if they’re lucky! Had a blast with you girls – Candice, Meg, and Bev! Can’t wait to get together again!

Breakfast! I think we all went back for seconds!
