Vacation :-)

Well we are coming to an end of our two week vacation.
It was such a nice time to spend with family and get in some activities here and there.Part 1: We started out by taking a 5 day trip to visit Kyle's sister and her family out in Oklahoma. Talk about some hot weather :-) It was nice to see them and catch up a bit .
They are loads of fun with lots of things to do and stay busy with :-)
Kinsey just loved playing with the girls and swimming while we were there.

Part 2: On the way back from Oklahoma we decided to make some stops and see some things that we had yet to experience. It was so nice being able to stop every couple of hours, get out of the car and spend some time at each stop. The first day out we stopped and went through the Fantastic Caverns and then spent the night near Saint Louis. The next morning we ventured to see BIG FOOT - the monster truck :-) It was HUGE - Kinsey looked soooo small compared to it. It was neat to see and get pictures of :-)

------------------------------------------------------------------Part 3: After arriving back in Indiana we spent a few days with my side of the family doing different activities for our vacation. Each summer my family drives out to California but this summer due to how expensive everything (mainly gas) is getting they decided to just have our little vacation close to home. We kept busy with fun things like the zoo, swimming at the reservoir, picnics, wiffle ball, and ending each night with a couple hours playing the game MAFIA. All eight of us kids were there and it was just a good family time.

(They were walking thru the rainforest exibit and I thought they looked adorable-

Looks like love to me :-)

Part 4: After the mini vacation with my siblings and parents we invited the four youngest of my siblings to come up and spend the night and so the next four days consisted of time with just them going miniature golfing, testing out the driving range, a steam engine show and four wheeler rides.We finished the vacation off today with a picnic on the lake with Kyle's mom,
grandpa, sister, her two kids and his aunt and uncle. Never a dull moment when these kiddos get together :-) They just love each other and have such a fun time playing together.
