We Survived!

our first family vacation ALL OF US - we survived! We all had a great time, at least me and my boys did. We went to Woodson Bend (Thanks Joe for the suggestion) and it is a nice gated resort about 2.5 hours away near Cumberland. It sits right on a golf course so of course Sean was in heaven and it was about 15 minutes from where we could rent a boat. Everyone went on a boat on Friday, while Steve, Bill, Logan and I stayed back. I probably could have gone, but didn't want to take the chance with just having surgery. And besides, I knew I couldn't go tubing or in the water and I knew that I couldn't sit on the boat and do nothing - what is the fun in that.

Brayden was hesitate about getting on the boat since he has never been on one. I told him that he would have a blast and he did. He couldn't stop talking about it for the last couple of days. Being down on Cumberland, made me miss our days years and years ago when we had our boat and us, and three other families would go down there and just party and have a great time. Water Sking, Tubing, etc.. I love being on the water and being on the boat! I miss it.

We had great weather down there and I know dad was there with us - I know he would have loved that we did that. We had been trying for years to get everyone together but with kids and schedules it was never possible, but this year we just said we are doing it no matter what and what a great time we had. Being on vacation with family - it teaches you to have patience - and that it isn't a bad thing, but with all of the little kids that we have - and each child had their moment or day, you just have to learn to have the patience and pick the battles :)

Even the beer had to stay behind the blue line!

Overall, it was a great trip and I can't wait to do it next year. Hopefully, I will be able to go tubing LOL. Of course I have tons of pictures but here are some from the pool:



And wow the weather - it is gorgeous up here - what a beautiful day the last two days have been. I hope everyone had a great week and weekend, here is to another week. Schools are starting - can you believe that!!!! Summer is done, and in four months it will be Christmas and I will be complaining it is too cold LOL.

Special prayers going out tonight tonight to the people who were hurt in that Indiana State Fair Crash - I know Tonya's sister-in law is really close to the mom and daughter from this area that were injured. What a freak, freak accident. Please keep them and all of the others in your prayers as they fight to stay alive.

Happy Monday - Well almost Tuesday :)
