Our Final Day on Vacation

We went to the lodge for breakfast this morning. Grandma Suzie was snuggling with Aubrey and Aleigha!

The girls...

All of the grandchildren!

Grandpa Pat, Grandma Suzie, and all of their grandchildren!

The whole gang!

Whittney, Gavin, and Aleigha were given a dollar each to spend on their vacation from "Grandma" Shirley. Whittney chose a stuffed bear, Gavin chose a mood ring, and Aleigha chose a package of Skittles. They were proud of their purchases.

This is the cabin we stayed in...with Uncle Andy, Aunt Holly, and Aubrey.

While carrying our items out to the vehicles, Whittney saw a snake. Gavin thought he needed to find it, and Aleigha was just in on the fun!

Our whole family!

Relaxing

We stopped at Grandpa and Grandma's house on the way home to pick up Max. Aleigha sat in Grandma's new hand chair to watch a little television.

Here are the kids eating chili we made over the fire...

The lazy river...

Grandpa Pat and Grandma Suzie shared this cabin with Uncle Grant. It was just down the road from our cabin.

Cleaning up to head home.

Good Morning!

In this picture, we were just waiting for breakfast to be ready! Whittney and Aubrey...

Nature Walk

Uncle Grant, Gavin, Grandpa Pat, Whittney, Aleigha, and Mommy went for a nature walk. Uncle Andy, Aunt Holly, and Aubrey caught up with us after Aubrey ate lunch. Here we are...starting our journey!

Aleigha stopping along the trail...

Gavin and Whittney took the harder route...when it was available.

If you look close, you will see Uncle Andy and Aunt Holly walking with Aubrey (across the lake). Aunt Holly is wearing a yellow shirt.

We stopped for a bit of a break. Grandpa Pat, Aleigha, Gavin, and Whittney relaxed on a bench.

Whittney found a small frog...it is at the end of her finger.

Uncle Andy filling up water bottles on the trial. It was a hot day and the kids stopped often for a drink.

Each of the kids chose where they wanted their picture taken...alone. Gavin chose by this tree in front of the lake.

Whittney sat be a fence.

Aleigha didn't choose a spot, so I took her picture while she was walking...

Baby Aubrey!

Whittney and Gavin

The Fabulous Scenery

Daddy, Mommy, Gavin, Whittney, and Aleigha went for a drive today. The hills and landscaping were amazing.

Although the scenery was magnificent, the kids did not get a chance to see it because all three of them fell asleep on the drive!

Fun by the Fire

This morning Grandpa Pat and Grandma Suzie went to a flea market to find some sweet corn for supper tonight. Aleigha is helping husk the corn.

She found a mini corn...

My camera was in the camper...battery charging...earlier. When I brought it out to take pictures, this is what happened! A little foggy...underneath the fog is Uncle Grant.

The kids (neighboring campers as well) set up a stand to sell water and kettle corn...they used their profits to ride their bikes to the Camper Store and buy a piece of bubble gum for everyone! Olivia, Whittney, Erica, Brett, Gavin, Olivia, and Uncle Nathan rode with Evelyn and Aleigha...our entrepreneurs...

Later, because it was so hot, Aunt Megan, Uncle Andy, and Aunt Holly took all of our kids to get a slushie...at the Camper Store.

Prizes from Nashville

This morning after breakfast, Grandma Suzie, Aunt Megan, Aunt Holly, Uncle Grant, and Mommy headed to Nashville to do some shopping. There were many little shops to stop at. While shopping, we stopped for lunch!

While shopping, we purchased some "Rocket Balloons" for the kids...and Uncle Grant to play with! You blow them up with a straw, take out the straw, and let them fly around (making noises as they go)!

A close up of Aubrey.

Whittney and Olivia are trying out their balloons.

Gavin has a turn!

Whittney and Olivia getting their balloons blown up!

Uncle Tom watched as Evelyn and Aleigha pumped up everyone's balloons!

Whittney being silly...

The Indoor Water Park

Today after playing with the Rocket Balloons, we headed to the indoor water park again...this time, Uncle Andy, Aunt Holly, and Aubrey came too. As you can tell, Aubrey was rather popular!!!

She is having fun in the lazy river with her daddy!

Aubrey, Olivia, and Uncle Andy...Aubrey looks a little skeptical about it!

Gavin...a little chilly!

Uncle Andy coming down the slide with Evelyn.

Aubrey is still popular!! The big girls liked being around her.

Uncle Andy took Aleigha up the ladder to go down the slide, but she really didn't want to go down the slide today...
