Cabin Fever

We had a WONDERFUL 4th of July weekend at the lake!!

After work on Wednesday we loaded up and headed to Holdrege. We stayed the night there. Thursday we went to the hospital and law office so Rod and Phyllis could show Jack off. As soon as we were done doing that we hit the road and headed to the cabin!

The Bonars and girls were at the cabin when we got there. They came Wednesday on their way home from the Black Hills. It was a real treat to be able to light off fireworks with the girls because they had never done that before. We had a great time with them, and wish they could come to the cabin to play every summer!!

Jess and I had a great time just floating around and relaxing while Grammy watched Jack each afternoon.

The first evening we drove to Indianola for pizza at the Rocket Inn. After dinner it was on to McCook to buy a new float at Walmart. Once we were back at the cabin we could play. It was a great evening.


Jack and Cori had a great time swimming in a pool on the deck.


We could hardly keep Cori out of the pool!!!


They really loved playing with each other.


One evening we took Jack on his first boat ride. He wasn't sure what to think about it, didn't love it, but didn't hate it the whole time. He found is life jacket a little cumbersome.

Cori loved the boat and looked like a rockstar in her new shades!

All of our adventures made us really tired, so we had to sleep in every morning.
The kids had lots of bathtub fun too!!

Saturday morning it was finally the perfect weather for the kids to go swimming in the lake. Jack had a great time and loved his race car float. We weren't sure how he'd like the chilly lake water, but after a few seconds, he thought it was great fun.

Cori swam around in the turtle I used when I was her age.
Jack does not like the traffic to get backed up though.
Cori took her first jet ski ride that morning and she even helped me take it out that afternoon.

Jack semi-enjoyed his first paddle boat ride...the life jacket was the culprit again, or I think he would have fully enjoyed his time on the paddle boat.
It really was a great weekend. I can still waterski after having to take last summer off. Jess was a GREAT sport all weekend with Mom, Steph, and me!!!
