First Vacation!

We took our first family vacation last weekend to Deer Creek Lake in Ohio. Our vacation was even more special because it was spent with the Olivigni’s and Hendren’s.

We stayed in fully equipped 2 bedroom cabins.  Each cabin could only hold 6 people so since we more than doubled in size a year and a half ago we had to stay in our own.

We had a nice screened in porch with a view of the lake.

They were so excited to be there and were running around all of the place exploring every inch of the cabin.

Before everyone else arrived on Friday we visited the beach area of the lake but unfortunately because of all the flooding it was very muddy and not in the best shape.  Madelyn is naked because on the ride from the cabin to the beach she got sick.  Poor thing doesn’t ride well in the car.

On Saturday, we visited the playground and they all were in heaven.  Well maybe even the parents…there are more parents on the play set than kids!

Carter loved the slide too!  He would climb up the stairs and go down the slide and start right back up the stairs over and over again.  He really enjoyed going down head first on his belly.  Little Daredevil!

Lila was enjoying the slide as well and liked going on her belly too but she preferred feet first!

Its pool time!  We didn’t realize at first that their was a kiddie pool so we tried out the big pool with our floaties and believe it or not Lila was the only one that would have anything to do with the float.  But then thank goodness we found the kiddie pool!! Carter and Madelyn were a little unsteady in the pool and I am wondering if some of that has to do with their low muscle tone.  The second time we ventured to the pool their were a few little girls that were in the pool too.  Carter was in heaven playing with them and he was giggling and laughing while they would grab his hands and dance around with him.  It was so cute!

This mini vacation was a nice test as to whether or not we would be able to handle a family vacation on our own for a longer period of time.  I am happy to say that the kids did amazing and were really great most of the time.  So beach here we come:0)
