August Vacation

We had such a nice vacation this past weekend.  Thanks to my mother-in-law Sue, we had the opportunity to go to stay at a cabin on Twin Lakes in Iowa.  Because she works for the Christian Camp at the lake, we got to stay at their wonderful  cabin.  It was wonderful and so relaxing.  We had this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom cabin that had a kitchen with all appliances, a dining room and two living rooms.  We spent the majority of the time at the lake.  We played at the playground, went paddle boating, canoeing, and swimming.  There was a huge slide that slid into the lake that Rob and Logan had fun going down ( yes, I did go down).  Logan was not so sure about going down the slide, but once he sat down on the slide and his hands and feet accidentally slipped and he went down, he thought it was really fun.    This was the first time that Logan swam in a lake and he liked it.  Once again, he was not so sure about going in the lake because it did not have clear water, but he did it and it was hard to get him out when the day was over. We went paddle boating and canoeing which Logan Rob and I really enjoyed.  

Now, you are probably thinking what about Kaitlyn?  Well, she had a good time as well.  I was really nervous taking Kaitlyn close to the water ( right Sue)  because she is such a go go girl.  I tried to keep her away,but Kaitlyn was not going to have any of that.  After the crying that could be heard across the lake, we finally brought her down and put her on the paddle boat with us.  She LOVED it.  She had a great time sitting with us and being on the lake.  She liked being in the water, but only her feet and legs.  Once you got the water past her bottom, she started crying.  When Rob and Logan were going down the slide, she tried so hard to squirm out of my arms so she could go down the slide.  Sue and I were laughing and wondering what she would do if we would put her down the slide with Rob,  we pretty much agreed that she would not want to go down again.  

The weekend was so nice and relaxing.  It was a vacation that was not on the go all the time, and the cabin felt like home.  Thank you Sue for having us.  Logan is already planning next years vacation.
