Weekend at the "Lake House"

Last weekend, we went to the "lake house" in Locust Bayou. It's very exclusive and chic so you may not have heard of it before. Very hard to get into. Paul and Katie were fortunate enough to know us so we got them in. You're welcome, guys. :)

Katie and I lounging on the beach at night (the only way to avoid the paparazzi).

Mary Claire and Ben hanging out in the suite. I cropped the butler out of the picture.

Ben taking lessons from the on-sight rock skipping pro (just outside the photo).
Jason and Mary Claire after planning their day with the concierge.


Here's Paul - the boat was FULL of bass when he was finished. He ended up having to throw a lot of them back because the boat was starting to sink.
The royal dog - Mylie (yes, we named her after the teen pop star, because afterall she did give her to us). We found out this weekend that Mylie (the dog) is a superb and willing swimmer. After seeing Jason and Paul in the boat, she swam all the way across the lake to get to them. They took her back to the shore, and after they had gotten out a ways, she repeated her swim across the English Channel to get in the boat again. :)
All in all, it was a great weekend, and worth every dime we dished out to stay there.

Hey, get this....I was looking at your blog at work and someone came up to my desk and glanced at it and said 'nice, the Ritz Carleton!'....
Guess if you make stuff up long enough people will believe it!

What fun! It looks like Ben's nose is better. Poor thing. It's amazing how one thing can change the look of your face. I can't believe how big Mary Claire has gotten! I've heard she is quite the talker.
