What a summer its been! We have been booked solid, but were able to find one open weekend that coordinated with Maggie and Jeff (unfortunately Dave was on call) to get to Okoboji, and boy did we make the most of it.
The kids and I got an early start on Saturday morning and made it over in time for lunch and then a day on the water. The kids swam, went on the 'little boat' (jet ski), the new fancy water trampoline, and the big boat. We landed at a local restaurant for dinner before a swing through Arnold's Park for their amazing ice cream. The perk for me is that the kids are so content with Isaac and Anna that it actually feels sort of like a vacation for me.
Jeff took the kids tubing on Sunday morning and they all had so much fun. Sully is an absolute dare devil and loves the speed and waves. After what felt like hours, Jeff finally flipped Isaac and Sully, Sully thought that was the the most amazing thing. The girls were happy to maintain a nice peacefully speed around the lake. We all had permagrin watching them on the tube. We came back and Grandpa Johnny brought out his convertible Corvette and took each of the kids for a ride. Sully has a new interest in fancy cars lately, so this was a dream come true.
We finished the weekend by helping them haul in the water trampoline, this was the one item I could have done without ;). All in all, it was a great weekend and we are so lucky to have been invited. It's alway such a treat and so nice to visit with Jeff's parents, we are looking forward to the next invite, hopefully Dave can join.
