Time for a Break

I think the lesson to learn is that some things are better left unplanned....in the hands of fate.

I took a page from my husbands book and took everything in stride and you know what...everything work out famously!

We left early on the 6th of July all packed up and raring to go! The trip up was fairly uneventful. I learned that Braydon is very content to sit and play his DS for 5 hours. Not so sure I like this, but it was very handy for this long car ride. Will, on the other hand loves to be entertained. Bring on the Eye Spy, Simon Says, Coloring books, Etchasketch...and anything else that works to entertain! Why don't we get a portable DVD player?...well in fact we have owned 2 and as a valuable lesson to Parents "Don't let your 3 year old boys play with the DVD Player". The first player met it's fate thru Will when he was 3 and bent the screen completely off the base. The second player met it's fate when 3 year old Braydon dropped it down the stairs snapping it in half.

We arrived at the Destiny Beach Resort shortly after lunch. It was a perfect day...36 degrees in the shade, not a cloud in the sky.It only took an hour to unpack and we headed straight for the pool.

Around 3 o'clock Mom & Grandma arrived. Dad had to stay back and work which was very disappointing, but I was happy to have my Mom & Grandma with us to share this special time with the Boys.

It wasn't long before Shannon was mixin' up happy hour bevies, the sunscreen was lathered on and we forgot all about time. Every morning we rented the canoe and took on the calm lake water. Our biggest daily decision was whether we were swimming in the lake or the pool...tough life.

On our last morning here I went outside to get my bathing suit from the dry rack and who do you think is standing there.....Dad! What an awsome surprise. The crazy guy drove all night to join us for our last day...Braydons Birthday. This was the perfect ending to a perfect holiday

I love this place!
