Big Canoe

Mom and Dad invited us to go to Big Canoe with them for a few days. We gladly said yes, after all, this is our last getaway before Matt leaves. We drove down(or up...Mom and I can't decide which one it is) after Matt's party. The next day we slept late(well everyone else did...i don't get to anymore with the little guy waking up at 6:30) and then went to the swim club after lunch. We all had a good time swimming, playing volleyball, going on the canoes and paddleboats, and the boys went down the rock slides. Poppy had Carson all set up outside so he wouldn't get too hot!The next morning the boys went hiking. The girls and Carson stayed at the house and ate breakfast. Then everyone took a nap and then it was off to swim again. Carson and I didn't go. He was having a rough morning.

Luckily by early evening he was feeling better and we were able to go out on a pontoon around the lake with everyone. We got a couple pizza and took them with us. It was beautiful! And Jenna LOVED being on the "big row row boat", helping Papa drive and feeding the geese.
The next morning Matt went fishing and Mom and Dad went walking. The rest of us were lazy around the house. Eventually Mom, Ben, Carson and I went to the store to get a few things. When we got back Ben, Matt and Dad went to the pool. That night Dad grilled hamburgers and hotdogs that were wonderful! Jenna helped Mimi wash the dishes afterwards! After that we pack up because Matt had to be at work the next morning. We were sad to go but had a GREAT time of relaxing before our life gets turned upside down in the coming weeks. Thanks again Mom and Dad! We love ya'll.
