Forest Lakes

Our family took a little mini-vacation this weekend up to Forest Lakes. Christian's parents have a fifth wheel up there, but there was no way we could all fit, so we shared a cabin with Ross and Amy. We spent the majority of the time at the cabin and it was wonderful.

Nana, Amy, the kids and I headed up after Camden's baseball class. The drive is about 2 1/2 hours and, of course, the kids didn't sleep. So, when we got there, we set each of the kids up with a DVD player and their movie of choice. They watched in the bunkbeds that Amy and Ross had to sleep in, and Makenna referred to as, "the closet." Pretty squishy room, but Christian and I were a little jealous. It looked like fun! (We had to have the big room because of Delaney's playpen, not that I'm complaining!)

Camden watched Cars.


Makenna watched Tinkerbell.


After Laney's nap, snack time in the cabin.


A great picture of Nana and the kids.That night Nana built a fire while we waited for the guys to arrive, Makenna danced, and Camden was excited to play with his flashlight brought for him. When the guys did arrive, we had smores!
Then the kids were off to to Nana and Poppy's to sleep in their new pajamas.The next morning.My husband will not pose for a real picture with me, so here's the best I had!Nana gave the kids their own camera, and they had a blast for about an hour when they ran out of film. Some strange pictures they took: toilet, Amy's shoes, Makenna's noseThen we took the kids on a quad ride.After the kids got their ride, Ross and Amy and Christian and I headed out for a longer ride. We rode to this tower that overlooked the city.
Then we rode on a crazy road to the edge of the rim.

The day ended with a barbeque.And before we left the next morning, the kids had some time to blow bubbles.Thanks for the great get-away Nana, Poppy, Uncle Ross and Aunt Amy!
