2 weeks ago we loaded up and headed out for a 17 hr trek to the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. Gabi withstood 12 hours of torture before we had to pull over and spend the night in Oklahoma City. When we arrived the gang was all there. We were spoiled for 7 days, livin' it up, literally on the lake. My mother-in-law fatted us up with homemade breakfast, lunch, and dinner EVERY day. It was awesome! All of the cousins played and splashed around in the lake. Gabi even got a brief cruise on the jet ski around the dock AND in a life jacket with my arms strapped firmly around her.
Gabi sprouted a tooth (was MOODY) and took her first steps while on vacation, too! Daddy tried to spear a fish like he was Piggy from Lord of the Flies...it was hilarious!!! The adults hung out in the evening after the kids went to bed. Aaron and I are the ranking 2010 Hand and Foot Champions w/ Hollie and Shaun winning at badminton and ping pong. Heather and Ryan take the gold for being the best sports about it all...especially Ryan who sat quietly as Heather and I ranted about the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The day before we departed David drove us all out to a small beach near the house and we had a blast. I'll never forget the look on Gabi's face as we watched her Daddy skimming waves on an enormous inner tube. He needed that!!!
Thanks for a wonderful time guys. We can't wait to do it again!
Looks like a great time was had by all. Gabi is already growing up way too fast. :)
