Finally a Family Vacation


Well we finally got to go on a family trip this summer, even though summer is almost over!! Between baseball and visitors we have not been able to go anywhere this summer (but that's OK because we love baseball and visitors). We went only about 1 1/2 hours from here to Lake of the Springs it is a Thousand Trails campground. My parents have a membership so we went with them. The boys (5 because we have an exchange student with us) and I went up on Thursday morning and met my parents there. Jay had to work so he joined us Friday evening after work. We had a very busy and fun time let me list all we did. Paddle boat races, swim in the lake at the beach, air hockey, ping pong, miniature golf, family Bingo, pool swimming, tennis, kickball, water volleyball, sand castle building, Wii competition (yes even when camping), shuffle board, riding bikes, Jay rented a kayak, we all rented a canoe, fishing, card games, pool table, play ground. We were having so much fun but Jay had to teach on Sun. (I did to for Sunday school) so we went home on Sat night. Valor and Ethan stayed with Mema and Papa. We decided to go back Sunday afternoon and stay until Mon. night. Now we are home and very tired but we had a great time. Here are some pics.




We stayed in tents and my parents motor home. Guess who stayed where. That's right adults in the motor home kids in tents!!
