Nolin Lake trip!

This awesome cabin was where we spent our weekend...right on Nolin Lake!

We met up with a bunch of our college friends...here's the girls: Lindsey, Casey, Gina and me.
The trip began with a stop at Smitty City, a must-see for anyone traveling in the direction of Nolin Lake.
Lindsey purchased a "grab bag"...the advertisement beside them read: "You never know what you'll get but it's always worth more than you paid." With that in mind, we couldn't resist!
First object in the grab bag: a clock shaped like the number 6! Lindsey could hardly contain her excitement...
...especially when the next object was a cigarette holder with a diamond cross stuck on the front!
...and Jeremy and Nate posed with the "hear-no-evil" monkey that was also included. He later suffered an accident and shattered into a hundred pieces but we enjoyed his presence while it lasted:( There were other treasures in the grab bag that I sadly did not get to photograph including some glittery makeup, a ring with a scary-looking dragon on it, a wristband with a magnifying glass for looking at bugs, and an ultimate-fighting air freshener. The grab-bag experience was clearly all we'd hoped for and more!

Later, Steven grilled some steaks for us...
...which we enjoyed family-style at the picnic table.
We did a lot of this....sitting, listening to music, eating, talking...
And of course the guys spent the majority of their time fishing...
...while the girls read and soaked up the last summer days of sun (don't say it...summer is almost over:(
The canoe took a few trips around the lake too
And Casey built us the perfect campfire
The girls at our fire while the guys were, of course, still fishing. They only came up to eat and sleep.
Such a good weekend! It's always much needed time to spend with friends, away from everything with nothing to do but catch up with each other. Thanks to Gina for getting the cabin worked out! We are definitely doing this again soon!
