Summer Vacation 2009

This past week our family went on vacation with my family up to the Lake. We left late on Monday night. On Tuesday we had some good weather in the morning so we played in the sand at the Lake, however it was still very cold. We were wrapped in towels as we watched the kids play. When we were walking up to go swimming at the pool Jonathan was freezing, I am glad that I brought a sweater for him to keep warm. Jonathan wanted to mainly be in the hot tub- but it was way HOT to be in it for a kid let alone be an adult. Sarah wasn't too sure about the water she was just fine being held then in the water! We played card games while the kids played and Sarah was down for a nap! It was nice to just relax.
The next day it was rainy and so we decided to go to the Minnetonka Caves. I remember going as a kid. It was lots of fun and a lot of steps. Kristi braved being 8 months pregnant. Jonathan was on my back and Sarah was on Dave's. It was cold in the cave, but not much different then outside of the cave. Jonathan was concerned with me and would ask if I was okay when going down or up steep stairs. We are defiantly glad that we decided to go to he caves. That afternoon we went to Craig and Liz's indoor pool (which was a life safer). The water was warm and it was fun to swim together. Jonathan loved to be in the water. Sarah was very scared, but then she calmed down and started to love it. Jason brought these syringes and they were so much fun to have water fights with. That night we had a BLAST playing games. Jeff was on something and we were playing curses. We all laughed so much. Craig even came over and played and it was fun to play with him also.

The next day it was raining again so we decided to go to the indoor swimming pool. Dave went to study and I went with the kids to the pool. But I didn't get in cause the chlorine content was very high and I am sensitive to chlorine. So Sarah and Jonathan enjoyed Grammy and Marcie playing with them in the pool. Grammy was playing humpty dumpty with them, Jonathan wasn't sure after awhile with it. But Sarah was a fish, she did great. After swimming we went to get pizza at a local pizza place. It was good food and fun to eat and talk. After we went and got some treats next door; the fudge was great and Jonathan loved his chocolate treat- Sarah had a bite. The weather was turning nice so we decided to some stores and do some window shopping. Then we headed back to the condo and did a nature scavenger hunt. The kids loved it and it was fun to get out. Jonathan then went to the playground, although it was really wet on the playground. That night it was a HARD night and it was time to go home.

The next morning we packed up and went home. It was overall a nice vacation. It was nice to be together as a family. It was fun to have Marcie and Jeff here in town. We did miss Leslie and Dan, but we were glad most of the kids could come and have fun! It was a nice family reunion!
