Diary of a Trip, Days 7-8

On Day 7 we went back to the state park to swim in the lake. Karen and Andrew had fun "swimming" in the 2 feet deep water. They weren't touching the ground and they were moving, floating, swimming--whatever you want to call it. Karen was pretty pleased with herself. She's always been kind of afraid of the water so this was a nice change. Especially since she did it all on her own. She'd figured it out before she called me over to watch her.
Isaac turned 3 on August 5 (the day we went to Maine). We celebrated with cupcakes on Friday. He couldn't blow the candles out--it was the cutest thing. The candles and cupcake toppers are Toy Story themed.
He loved riding this rocket. I can't believe Isaac is 3. I told him I wanted him to stay 2 and be my baby. He replied, "I'm not a baby. I'm Isaac. You're a baby." Oh well.
That evening Jonathan, Peter, Courtney, Natalie, Megan, Joshua and Jacob played Laser Tag and roller skated. They all had a blast. Apparently the roller skating was quite comical. Unfortunately, no pictures.

Day 8 was another uneventful drive back to Ohio. We had a really fun time. I love vacations that involve visiting family. There is so much built-in entertainment for the kids. They are coming to see us the week after Christmas, along with Christian and Robyn. It will be another happy reunion!
