We are back home and back into our regular routine of life once again! Here is a glimpse into a our week at the lake! It came at a great time (in the middle of a chaotic fall!), and was a much needed time of relaxation and family fun! Thankfully we didn't see the sun rise each day (the kids actually slept in! Olivia even slept until 8am one day!), but on Friday we were given this gift on our final morning there!
The trip was full of wonderful moments. We had some great weather - very pleasant for what we wanted to do, and even a few storms, which of course I love! We took this on a morning right before we had a bit of rain! I think this is a great picture of the kids, adequately capturing our current stage of life!
Shane enjoyed using his birthday gift from Uncle Russell! He mostly enjoyed that it had a squirt gun on the steering wheel, and he could use it to torment his sisters!
Olivia enjoyed the water! She didn't venture out very far, but she had fun collecting rocks and "swimming" in the shallow water!
One of the goals of the trip was to do some water skiing! Steve learned the basics of how to pull a skier behind the boat, and the two older kids tried to ski! Neither Faith nor Shane were able to get up on the skies, but they were close! I tried too, but getting up on one ski is not easy for someone as inexperienced at skiing as I am! Maybe next trip form me too!
On the most beautiful day we had we took the boat onto the river. Topak gorge is just gorgeous!
Since we were going slow in the no wake zone, Olivia wanted to move up to the front of the boat with Shane!
Our handsome little guy!
Shane lost his third tooth on the trip! It was fun for him to lose another tooth at the lake since that is where he lost his first tooth!
The kids all love the Jacuzzi tub! Olivia wanted to take a bath at least twice a day! And most days we let her since we were on vacation! When else can you take a bath and watch tv at the same time?!?
The girls wearing the same dress at the same place! Faith is a little older (a few months over 3 in this picture!), but it's fun for me to see them and how different they are!
In addition to the Jacuzzi tub, all of the kids also really liked the king size bed! A couple nights all three of them fell asleep together, but usually we found both girls in there when we went to bed! So sweet to see them all together!
