We finally took a family summer vacation! We took off up north to join Brock, Nancy, Erik, Kate, Sara, Dan, Noah, Caden, and Evelyn. What fun!! All of us together under one roof. Those who are not used to the joyful sound of children could always get away for a paddle boat or kayak ride, or perhaps a hike. We all had so much fun that we want to do it again next summer!
We arrived pretty late at night so in the morning there was so much to see!
We attempted fishing trips...
And boating trips.
Our kids get up at the crack of dawn, so I would get up with them and we'd either go outside to play on the playground or "quietly" hang out on the screened in porch.

There was a great beach so the kids could swim!
There was a great little playhouse the kids fell in love with in the play area. Inside was a play kitchen set and before we knew it "Suzie's Restaurant" was born. You'd order from one window, pick up at another window, and drop off your dirty dishes in a third window. They had this figured out. At one point I asked "Suzie" aka Kyla for some sprinkles on my ice cream cone and she said, "You get what you get and you don't have a fit!" I wonder where she's heard that before...
The kids even got to drive!
It proved to be a long day.
What a fabulous vacation!

The whole crew minus one went on a pontoon ride on the last day.
