This summer we went on vacation with my parents, my sister, brother in law and all the kiddos! We rented a beautiful cabin just outside of Broken Bow, Ok. It was such a nice and relaxing vacation. The cabin had a private stocked pond that we spent many hours fishing in. The kids all had fun doing that! We also celebrated Zade's 4th birthday while we were there. I know, 4...can you believe it? Where did my baby go?! Although, if you know Zade at all you know that something like his age is just a small detail. He sure thinks he's a big boy! We had a great vacation and were sad to leave! Here's some pics!
Zade was/is quite the fisherman! He loves it!
Mommy's not so bad herself. Although, I don't have the patience of a fisherman so I gave up pretty quickly. But I do love it! It was so nice and peaceful! (Until the bugs start biting you, or the snakes come out)
We took a little train ride through some of the Beavers Bend State Park. I guess Dad and Gracie are checking out the "safety features" of the train.
Matt, Ashley and the kids rode bumper boats in the river. Gracie rode with Ashley. That's Kennedy behind them. I'll always remember our adventure at the bumper boats. Gracie knocked our truck keys off from the bench onto the deck and they slipped right through the crack and into the river. I might have spazzed out a little cause I could just see us having no way to get back home because we had no keys to our truck with us. But - between Matt, Ashely, and some nice stranger we were able to fish them out. Phew!!!!
This is a front view of the house! It was perfect for us! There was a pool table upstairs and a hot tub outside. We cooked every meal in the nice kitchen or out on the grill on the deck! We had so much fun! The kids brought their bikes and scooters. The deck was big enough for them to ride around on. Unfortunately, Gracie didn't understand the concept of the stairs. While we were in the kitchen fixing dinner Zade came running in looking as white as a ghost and crying, saying something about Gracie and her bike. A few seconds later in comes Gracie crying saying "I fall! I fall!" She had a bloody lip and everything. Once we got them both calmed down Zade told us she rode her bike off the deck and down the stairs. I later found her bike nose down on the steep stairs. It's a wonder she didn't hurt herself worse! You gotta love Gracie - she keeps it real!
She also jumped out of the hot tub chasing after a frog! Like I said -keepin' it real!
We forgot candles so we improvised by sticking matches in his Transformers Cake. We're so redneck sometimes! LOL!
Hope you enjoyed our pics! School starts next week for Gracie Mae so look forward to seeing pics of that grand event!!!! Have a fantastic weekend!
