So, you’ve been waiting….

29 May

…to hear about our vacation, huh? For starters, it was the best time ever.

We left on Friday and got to Eufaula at 2:30 and checked in to our cabin. When we got there we discovered our cabin was not only brand new, it was on the lake. Which meant we could (and did) sit on our deck and just stare at the lake. After we got done unpacking, we decided to go take a dip in the pool. It was a really awesome pool because it only went up to 5 feet deep, which meant Jakob could have free roam.

After we got back from the pool, we ate dinner and Audrey and I hung out in the cabin while all the guys went swimming in the lake.

Saturday- (all the details are a bit vague now) We got up to play a round of minature golf. Everything was going swell until Princess Rotten decided to hog the greens. We finished up that round and decided to make a Wal-Mart run to get sister a stroller. We had to go to Checotah for that.

We got back with the stroller and decided to take another dip in the pool. This time we had a floatie for Audrey so she could enjoy it a bit more too. After swimming, we had to go to the cabin for lunch and convince Jakob and Spencer not to pig out on too much stuff because they had to get ready for the pie eating contest. :)

Yup, they entered a pie eating contest. Against 6 other kids and 1 adult, Jakob came in second place. He won a medal and a certificate. My baby may not have been academic this year, but he can eat! Spencer didn’t place, but he surely did try. It was at the pie eating contest when Audrey met the one and only Yogi Bear and fell instantly in love.

Later that evening, we went on a firetruck ride with Yogi around the campground. Audrey was in heaven. The rest of the evening was spent in the lake and cabin.

Sunday- We just did as much as humanly possible since it was our last day there. The boys played several round of mini-golf, spent hours in the lake, rented a paddle boat, and just enjoyed the day.

That evening, after our ride on the firetruck with Yogi Bear, we went to the ice cream social. It was a really good time. The kids ate ice cream and made friends and Audrey fell absolutely in love with BooBoo! I mean head over heels!

When we got back to our cabin, we set on the deck and goofed off while listening to the Gary Allan concert going on across the lake.

Monday morning we got up and left early because I didn’t want to have to drag Audrey away from Yogi. It was so much fun and we are totally going to try to go back next year.

My little man got the award for being Most Honest in his class. It’s that awesome? He was a glow bug in their program and since I don’t have a ton of time today, here’s a video and some pictures.

I suppose I will be back with the pictures later.
