A few years back we decided to start up the tradition again for as long as possible. We have missed the last 2 summers due to our move back to FL and Mackenzie being to young last year. Hunter was soooo excited about this trip. He couldn't wait to ride horses, go fishing, riding bikes, and playing. We had 2 cabins. Sara and Martha stayed in one and we stayed with Nannie and Papa in the other. We were in a secluded area with a playground area 100 ft. from the front door. We could let the babies play and not have to worry.
Mackenzie loved playing on the playground. By the end of the week I had given her at least 2 baths a day and she had the most bumps, scrapes, and bruises of all of the kids. That girl can get dirt, swim, and she can RUN! We had a blast watching then toddle around and play.
Hunter helped teach Colin how to ride his new bike. He also enjoyed splashing around the pool having splash fights with everyone. Adam joined us on Wednesday. He took Hunter on his first little fishing adventure. They caught one little brim. We also went canoeing and paddle boating. Sara and Papa joined us on that adventure. Sara had fun riding in the back letting Papa paddle away. She worked on her tan a bit also.
The wildlife was fun to watch. Every morning we would wake up to deer sitting 5 feet in front of our back porch. They would let us sit and watch them. At the beginning of the week, Papa enjoyed following the deer into the forest. We finally had to tell him he was going to get ticks if he wandered too far. That kept the deer tracking down the rest of the week.
We had a great time. Papa even commented on how it was the best week we have ever had. I have to agree.
