Vacation is Over...

Last week we spent our vacation at Justin's Aunt & Uncle's lake house in Illinois.  We took off the Thursday before, drove through the night & arrived early in the morning.  It was a 16 hour drive - ugh.  It was definitely worth it though because we had a wonderful trip.  It was a nice break from all the heat & it was fun to hang out with family.  I think we were all camera happy.  We combined all the pictures on our computer & there was 670 of them!  Below are just a few...

Oh ya - even Mak made the trip.  I was worried about him taking off because he is not used to so much freedom, but he did great.  Well, except for the occasional attitude problem.  I found him once at the edge of the neighbors beach area & couldn't resist throwing him in.  Then, I kept doing it because Dylan thought it was the funniest thing she'd ever seen!
This is the view of the lake from the house at sunset.
Everyone is assigned a night to cook so here's Justin grilling steaks on our night.  Savannah thought it was fun to bang on the window at him.

Savannah & her buddy Maddie.  They each had a little blue pool like this & were so cute in them.  Savannah would get territorial though if Dylan tried to get in with her.

We tried to set up a barricade to keep the two little ones on the carpet in the living room & away from the stairs.  Several times they'd both escape at the same time.  Here's Savannah making her break.
Before we went on the trip all Dylan could talk about was rowing the boat.  Well, here she is in action.
It was a beautiful, relaxing trip!!
