We just got back from our 2nd long car trip of the summer! We went to visit my parents condo in the Ozarks for the first time.
The drive was long...mostly due to human error. By human error, I mean a certain mom who thought she would help pass the time by allowing the kids to use dvd players in the car for the first time but not bringing headphones...among other mistakes.
However once we got there we had a great time. Both boys and Grandma say their favorite parts were feeding the ducks. These ducks are the boldest ducks I've ever seen. They flock to the front of mom and dad's place. It's almost like they know they will be fed! ;)
They also LOVE dry dog food. We went though almost an entire small bag of it while we were there. Between the ducks, turtles, carp, geese, I felt like I was a worker at a smorgasbord buffet.
One duck actually walked onto the deck looking for us/food while we were packing to come home!
Grandpa and my favorite parts were boating! We started small just a float around the no wake zone in the cove, then ventured out on a morning ride when there was not much traffic and by the time we left for home, we made it all the way across the lake going as Parker would say, "Super hyper warp speed".
A first boat lesson (how and where to honk the horn)
Travis's favorite part was probably fishing, although they didn't catch anything this trip (fish weren't biting on cheese), they now have poles ready for the next trip down.
We also spent some time at the pool. Carson decided he like the pool deck more than the actual pool.
Parker thought it was hilarious to squirt people with his water guns with his partner in crime "Captain America" or "The Hulk" or Daddy...whoever was closest
During the super hyper warp speed trip Carson wasn't too sure at first, in fact he took a hold to both his daddy's finger and his mommy's.
His brother on the other hand, belly laughed the whole way across the lake.
This picture just about captures the essence of the "Super Hyper Warp speed trip"
It was a great trip and we look forward to many more extended family vacations at the lake.
