Family Vacation and Celebrations
Thursday night, after Andy got home from work, we loaded up the van and headed up to the River Valley Campground to stay the weekend with my parents. After we got to the campground, Dad started the campfire and mom made smores. They were yummy, but oh so messy!!!Friday, we hung out at the beach with the kids for most of the day. They also rode their bikes around the campground and played at the park.Saturday, Julie, Ryan, the kids, and Grandma Myers came up for the day to celebrate my birthday and Father's Day. The weather was beautiful. Andy and I took the kids on a pontoon paddle boat ride earlier in the day...before it got to hot. Sammy was a little scared at first, but we let him help daddy "steer" and then he was fine. The girls thought it was great as long as we kept moving...they thought if we stopped that we would sink!After breakfast on Sunday we packed everything up to head home. We did take the kids to the park for one last go around. They weren't very happy about leaving (i wasn't either), but when we told them we were going to see Grandpa Mike, it made it a little easier.We spent the rest of the afternoon at Mike and Teresa's hanging out on the back porch. Haley was there with her girls. It's so fun watching Sammy and Ariana play together. He just loves her!
Here is the best dad in the whole (yes, I'm a little biased)...nothing warms my heart more than to see Andy with the kids. He is a great dad, and a wonderful husband...we are pretty lucky!
