First Vacation


We just got back from our first vacation. We went to Table Rock Lake in Missouri for Logan's cousins', Luke and Jordan, wedding. It was so much fun. We stayed in some people's cabin there for about a week. It was up on top of a hill with solid windows on the back of the house that overlooked the lake. It was about as beautiful as you can imagine. The water on that lake doesn't even have a ripple! It was amazing to look at and even more amazing to ski on it! We got to ski and play on the lake a lot while we were there. Lloyd is the owner of all the land where the wedding was held. He was so nice to take us out on his boat too. There was tons of of other stuff to do too.....volleyball, basketball, 4 wheelers, freesbie golf, and even a small zip line! It was tons of fun. I don't feel like the pictures even do the water justice....it was just like glass!!! Beautiful water!!!

One of these is Logan and one is me.....gosh it was fun skiing!!! I'm afraid we got spoiled and we won't like Texas lakes anymore!

That is crazy Judy with her stick out on the rock.
Weston got lots of time with his Mimi and Gramps. They loved on him all the time....reading books...playing with toys...rocking him to sleep...playing in the big bowl....rides around in the plastic tub...holding him on the boat. Mimi got him his first potty chair...and yes, he actually went in it while we were there. She was SO proud that she saved it for us to see when we came in from the lake :)


Weston got to play with his cousin Malakai a lot. Malakai pushed Weston around in the stroller and they played with their toys together and even watched cartoons one morning. They were sure cute to watch. Malakai is a busy boy....always going somewhere. I think he wore his gramps and mimi out! I think Malakai and Weston were saying their prayers together on the stairs.


One day we went all drove into Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It's a cute little town that sits in the hills. We walked around and shopped some and got to eat some ice cream. Weston got to ride around in the backpack carrier for most of the trip.


After we left Missouri, Logan's family headed back to Kansas and we went to Arkansas. We stayed in a cabin at Devil's Den State Park. We went hiking a few times and played in the pool. Weston did pretty good while we were hiking and even fell asleep in the carrier during a hike. I almost stepped on a snake....it was right on the path! It scared me out of my mind....and he didn't even wake up!


It was a great vacation but it was sure good to be home Sunday night. Weston was so hyper when we got him out of his carseat and sat him in his crib. He was smiling and just so excited. It was really cute. I think he was really glad to be home too.
