Vacation

We went to Table Rock Lake for a few days to get away from it all before school starts again. we decided to go back to the same place as we were at last year as the kids had enjoyed it so much. It was completely different this year, the weather was perfect and we got plenty of opportunity to be outside and enjoy the lake. There are 3 pools at the resort and the kids love them for 2 main reasons-they can alternate between the pool & the hot tub and they can go down the slide. We spent the first day alternating between the pools, but then Ben found the lake and he didn't want to go anywhere else. They used the lake as much as they could. They went fishing off the dock-Maggie even caught a decent sized fish. They soon got bored with that, but they had fun feeding the fish at the dock, they would put a worm on the hook and then watch the fish come out and eat the worms & then swim off!!!! Ben loved to go on the paddle boats and take Maggie out on thew kayak. He learned how to maneuver them on his own very quickly and just took off on his own all the time. We rented a boat and spent the last day on the lake. It was pretty windy that day and it was busy on the lake, so it wasn't ideal, but we had a great time anyway. Ben & Maggie both took turns driving the boat. They both liked to float on the inner tube. Ben even let Sam pull him behind the boat for a while....before he fell in (the look on his face is priceless!!) Ben even managed to capture a rare photo of Mum & Dad relaxing on the couch
