Our Little Vacation...lots of pictures!

The view from the picnic table!

We spent this past weekend at Jeff's great aunt and uncles house in Oroville. It is a fantastic place right on the lake. We had a very relaxing little vacation. We went with Jeff's parents and brothers. It was great because there were so many people there to look after the girls! So then I could relax a little. The girls did amazingly well. They really impressed me there. I was a little worried about the whole sleep thing and they did great! Megan was always excited to go to sleep in her playpen and she slept great for night time and naps. And Gabby sleeps good pretty much anywhere, but it was great to have her stroller along to rock her to sleep. The house has a basement suite and we stay there and Jeff's parents stay in their camper and his brothers stay in the cabin. The basement suite is great for us, although it is one big room and Gabby is a noisy sleeper, so I put her in the kitchen to sleep! We would put them to bed and then hang out on the deck in the evenings, so peaceful right on the lake. I just love these pictures with Megs and daddy!!

We brought Megan's Dora theater projector toy along. She calls it "dodo toy". It projects a story with slides on the ceiling. She likes to watch it before bed. It was a gift from uncle Curt. The one night Eric and Curt lied in bed and watched it with her, it was so cute!! Megan gets so excited when she watches it, she just lights up!I love her hair in this picture, so many curls after her bath!

The weekend weather was forecast to be rainy, but we had no rain!! It was so nice and warm pretty much the whole time. We were thankful for that! Megan loved to play on the beach. She spent most of the weekend at the beach making "soup" in her pail and throwing rocks in the lake. She had lots of fun playing on the beach with her uncles!! Gabby got to meet her uncle Eric for the first time this weekend, so it was nice for him to finally met her and play with her!

Jeff and his brothers had lots of fun in the water. They would jump of the dock and try to catch the frisbee. This game went on for a long time, but they had a good time. They also played lots of Carcasone(sp?), boy do they love that game. Of course we took lots of pictures!

I was able to read lots of magazines and sit on the beach this weekend, so nice for me!! We also had some great food... food is such a big part of a vacation!! We went to Prince's for a little bit of shopping because the US dollar is so good. We didn't buy much, but it was fun to look. Believe it or not we ran into an old friend of Jeff's at Prince's in Oroville. He is also from Kelowna, small world!

We had a fire on the beach the one evening and it was so nice! We roasted marshmellows for smores! A must when you are camping!

Uncle Eric came home for this next week and so I'm sure we will see lots of him! I think the boys are going golfing tonight and tomorrow we have a potluck dinner with some other relatives also. Megan will get to play with her second cousin. She hasn't seen him since Christmas, so they will have fun together!
