We have been back from vacation for a few days now and I have been asked a couple of times how our trip went. Well, we did a lot of things and had a lot of fun. How do you put it all into words so that people won't lose interest? So I just decided to post a few of my pictures, showing all who might be interested a sprinkling of what we did over nearly two weeks.
We did a little of this:
Archery with bows and arrows my talented Dad made
And of course some evening fishing
And a new adventure, stand-up paddle boarding. So, so fun. My first time out was on a very windy day; the waves were very large, making it hard to stand up. I didn't go down, but my mom and brother took a backwards somersault off the back on the board into the water. There was a lot of laughing this round.
Ryan's first attempt: took place on a much calmer lake. It was so easy to maneuver this lake after the previous attempt. We had three boards, so we all took turns going out together; it was awesome.
Lots of swimming and games
And some relaxing at the farm
And a mountain bike ride, complete with one injury
More swimming in the lake; this island was a hit with the kids
Cousins trying out the board. There was room to paddle with one to two kids on board. They took turns coming out with an adult.
More tractor fun
Uncle Dan knew endless water games for the kids to play
We had a wonderful time. A special part was the kids getting to meet their new baby cousin (maybe pictures later, after I get mom's permission). We spent time in East Texas, out at the farm, in Dallas at my brother's loft, seeing the sights and sounds of their new place, more time out at the farm and lastly, a long weekend camping with the whole crew in Arkansas. Good times!!
