Thames Family Lake House

Yes, it's true. The Thames family now has a lake house - just not THIS Thames family. Christopher's brother and his wife are now the proud owners of an amazing lake house on the Auburn side of Lake Martin. To celebrate their little boy's 1st birthday, they invited all of the family to come break it in! Although it wasn't warm enough to get in the water, the kids had a great time digging in the sand, roasting marshmallows, and just spending time together. We had 7 kids all under 5 so there was lots of action. What a wonderful place to grow-up! We look forward to many memories there together! Thanks Allyn and Ashley for inviting us!!

Loved putting our feet (and then some) into the water. I think I dried his shorts twice that day.

Does not like the cake on his hands!

Papa fishing on the pier - where does Rutland get his personality from?

And his good looks??

Couldn't wait to get in his birthday suit! His clothes were probably in the dryer - again!

Hill playing in the sand - get is also in her birthday suit.
