What We Did On Our Summer Vacation: Part 5

Besides all the swimming, and diving, and fishing, and shooting pool, and skiing, and tubing, and boating; we also found time to....

PLAY dress up in Josh's boots and cap... ...and on the stairs with our siblings...
...and in the hammock...

...and in the side yard with our favorite cousin...



...and by ourselves with our trucks, even though we were so tired we could hardly stand ourselves.



We also HUNG OUT with our siblings...



...and in the kitchen while meals were being prepared.




We managed to get in a little bit of REST with a snack in front of cartoons....




...and in the hammock in the peace and quiet of the afternoon.



We even had to do a little WORK...but not TOO much. It was vacation after all!



Finally, the time came to say goodbye to the lake house...our Paradise Found.



Thank you, My Hero, for the wonderful week to spend surrounded by our kids and grandchildren. I appreciate these times more than you will ever know.


I love you, Baby!

I noticed the kitchen scene was you preparing a meal and the boys at the edge of the kitchen so they would be the first in line to eat but far enough out of the kitchen that they wouldn't have to help prepare.

I was just telling Allen how great it would be if he and I and the girls could do that one year. Especially now that the grandbaby will be here soon. It's the perfect vacation. Lots of things to do IF you want to do anything. I will have to see what I can find around here. Thanks for the great vacation idea.
