VACATION

This year we spent almost a week together at the lake house. We had a great time!

On the first day it rained just as we pulled up to the swimming pond. And then there was the day Charlee lost a tooth...luckily The Tooth Fairy found her. We made a trip to Woodsville and ate a (really yummy) family-style fried chicken lunch at Pickett House and had fun touring The Heritage Museum. We went to Johnson's Rock Shop in Indian Springs, but they were closed. We went back a couple of days later and had a lot of fun doing the traditional rock exploration. Daddy made pancakes every morning and Aunt Shaun cooked up the bacon...we never seemed to get sick of either one (the food, not the people). Dominoes were the prominent pass time (OFF the water anyway).

On the water we enjoyed swimming, tubing, wake boarding and knee boarding. Excitement included: Ava wearing Emma's life jacket to swim in the lake... Emma standing on the knee board (hard to do)...alligator hunting...double pulling Amanda wake boarding with Scott knee boarding (turned around for them about a dozen times)...Amanda falling off that wake board really close to a gator...coming in from lake at dark with gi-normous bugs smacking us in the face...and of course, the beautiful rainbow:

We'll spend the year resting up to do it all again next summer!
