First thing Monday morning I can hear it from the side of my bed. "Lets go on BACATION"!! Its Hayden eagerly waiting for everyone to get up so we can go on vacation. Well, that's what the kids are calling it. As parents WE all know when you travel with the kids its a TRIP, not a vacation. This year our summer trip was to a cabin on the far side of the lake. Far enough away from home that we didn't go home once but close enough that we had many family and friends join us throughout the week. I think it is safe to say EVERYONE had a great time!!!
We did have some major highlights from this trip including Bryden finally catching that first fish, Hayden mastering both jet sking and tubing and Makena swimming like a fish from morning till night. I may or may not have feel in love with the huckleberry ice cream across the bay.
For Hayden being on "bacation" was hard work. He needed a little cat nap.
Bryden wanted nothing to do with jet skis or tubes. He was looking for peace and serenity. I think maybe we all found a little of that.
UMMM!! Smores time was the best part of the evening!!
We did a little swimming at the dock before we headed out on the boat. It was a little windy but that didn't seem to detour anyone.
Off to the resort for Gooey Desserts. I always love to see the eyes of kids that have never seen the true size of these desserts.
The party was great but it is always hard to see them grow up sometimes. You don't want to forget what they were like as babies and toddlers. You want to remember everything and at times just freeze them how they are. They however are always in such a hurry to grow up. I guess with each birthday they have it makes you yourself a little bit older too. Since my baby girl is now nine that makes me......ummm.....25 now?????
