2012 FVAOH

We just returned from Family Vacation with the Bender family. As always, it was a blast!!! Here are some pictures from the 4 day weekend:

Philip in one of his favorite spots for the weekend - Grammy's lap with a book!

Philip in his other favorite spot - beside KD as he worked on the pool!

Swim Time!

Jackson was all about the chilly pool!
He loved playing Olympics - complete with diving in and freesytling it across the pool!

This year, Jackson was all about Wi-Fi Cafe (the hour each day the kids could bring out the electonics!) Macey was a real help during Wi-Fi and would help the younger ones with all the games!

This year, a marble run was added to the activities. I was not on board with this because I had no idea what a marble run was, but it turned out to be a HUGE hit! The kids loved it and the adults who built it (I can not take credit for any of it!) enjoyed putting it together.

The rain prevented us from going out on the boat, but Monday morning, we took a trip out to see the boat.

Sunday night, we had KD tell the Ketchup Story. It was so much fun to watch the kids (and Jack!) get into the story!

"You've been eating too much ketchup!"

Lunch Time - Cole, Philip, Trent and Luke

Wesley's pizza

It's blurry but it was too cute not to include - they actually like each other so much they sleep right next to each other...

Or have Patches, Patches, and Dottie (or as Philip calls him Patches) in between them!

One night, Jackson got scared and asked me to sleep with him on the floor. I woke up the next morning and realized I had shared a bed with Philip, 3 Patcheses, a TON of cars, & Jackson! How did we all fit?

Thanks, Jack and Lynne, for a great weekend!!!!

Next year, we will be complete with Elizabeth joining us!!!
