Lake trip - July 13- 15,2012

Our regular week long vacation had to be skipped this year since Rob used all of his vacation for China. We opted to take a weekend trip to Green Turtle Bay(Lake Barkley ) in Grand Rivers. We had a great time and it felt so special as it is Laikyns first family vacation as well as our last trip together before Brandon moves to Bowling Green for school.
This is the first weekend for a real rain threat, but we decided that would be much better than the horrid heat that we had been having. On Friday, we arrived about 3:30 and checked in. We were in condo 105 this year and it was very cute and decorated in red, white and blue. The guys decided to take the jet ski out while the kids and I swam in the outdoor pool, which was about three steps from our door. They have always loved the pool here because of the slide. After we swam, we grabbed some supper and walked around lighthouse landing to take pictures. We ended the night with a game of Apples to Apples before bed.

Saturday morning we had reserved a ski boat and were able to use it from 9-12 before the rain came. We had a lot of fun tubing and swimming off the side of the boat. Laikyn even liked it although she was a little scared of the tube, she was a very good sport. Even though we were rained out early, we were able to get a rain check to come back another day. We headed back to the room for sandwiches and Laikyns nap. Saturday night we met Mark, Jessica and kiddos for supper at Miss Scarlett's since we couldn't get a decent hour at Pattys. The kids had fun playing together. Later, we walked around Pattys and played a few games over there.

Sunday morning we packed early and headed to Princeton to visit Marks new church. It was very nice and they even had special prayer for a family heading to China for a child they've waited six years for. Cool that we were there for that, but I'm sure not a coincidence!We had lunch with the Williams crew,toured their new house and headed back home around one. Great times! We did have one major catastrophe though. Brandon hit his knee while boating and it was still hurting Sunday so we stopped at Immediate Care coming home. It wasn't broken but they feel it could be torn so he needs an MRI. Will have to stay tuned for this, but praying it's just a sprain...
