Summer 2009--Here we come! We have enjoyed our week off from school before we begin summer school. It has been filled with lots of activities and fun! We have enjoyed the weather outside. It has been nice spending time with each other and forgetting about school.As we started our summer vacation, we began our weekend with a family fish fry at Cousin Ashley's. It was fun to see all of Garrin's 2nd and 3rd cousins on the McMaster side of the family. Garrin spent most of his time riding Cash's green four wheeler!
On Sunday, we ventured to Grammy and Papa Smith's. We had fun playing outside and exploring at the lake. Garrin took his first canoe ride with Dad, Mom, and Grammy Smith. We enjoyed the scenery of the lake and even splashed a little in the water. Before we got off the lake, Garrin tried his first kayak ride too. He's a natural!
On Tuesday, we went to see all the animals at the Dickerson Park Zoo. Nana D and Papa D gave Garrin a friends of the zoo season pass so we could enjoy the zoo throughout the year. It was a rainy day, but we managed to find a break in the rain to enjoy the zoo.On Thursday, we took a 2 night, 3 day, mini-vacation to Branson. We stayed at Stillwaters Resort at Indian Point. We had all sorts of fun. We swam in the pools, fished with cane poles, used the paddleboats, went for a bike ride, and played at the playground. We even ventured to Silver Dollar City and went on the train and the flooded mine! Garrin did so well. We could play and go back to our room for naps at our leisure. We had a good time relaxing and playing! We can't wait to go back! Be sure you look at our pictures below:
