Sydney's Birthday At The Lake

As always, Sydney celebrated her birthday (which happened to be her 12th) at the lake.

She and I arrived a day early, along with her grandpa. Unfortunately, the forecast predicted rainy skies all weekend. Indeed, the weather was gloomy and wet on Friday, and Saturday brought little change.

After our breakfast of Tom's Donuts, Sydney and I decided to swim, even though it was drizzling at the time. We must've looked pretty odd, going for a leisurely swim in the rain. Well, we are pretty odd.

Luckily, it stopped raining, the sky cleared up, and we were able to go tubing. It was so much fun, and we both wiped out several times.

Soon, Sydney's family arrived, along with Luke. After some ping-pong (Sydney's dad whooped me thoroughly), Sydney opened presents on the porch. She received some books, Silly Bands, money, and she still hasn't gotten my present yet (it's taken a while to find it)!

We had brownies (which Sydney and I had baked earlier) with ice cream, a truly delicious combination.

After this, we started packing up. It was a great time, and I thank the Nash family once again!
