Final wrap up of vacation.

We had a fabulous time. It went way too quickly. It was such a blessing to have Doug home for almost a week.

Friday we got up there, unpacked, settled in and fished. Doug and I went for a boat ride, sat in the middle of the lake and watched the sunset! It was gorgeous and peaceful and wonderful.

Saturday we wondered what the heck was wrong with Allen. It was HOT! We kinda laid low for a while. The boys mowed the lawns. We fished and relaxed and read books.

Sunday Allen went to Urgent Care and we discovered it was chicken pox. Jordan broke out with them, too, on Sunday.

Monday morning Doug took the boys golfing.

The rest of the week pretty much was getting up and making a big breakfast, everybody doing whatever ourside before it was too hot, Isaac fishing ALL DAY LONG, the pox people slept most days, we played lots of cards and fished a lot.

It was lovely! I have some scenery pictures I'll post shortly.

Still vacation :)

Isaac pretty much had a vacation to himself! Jordan only felt like fishing in the evening. Here are some assorted Isaac pictures with various fish :) Isaac on the boat.
Catfish
Some kind of bass
The only picture I have of Doug! It was HOT and he didn't wear a shirt most of the week. He hates me to post pictures of him with no shirt. So this is it lol.

More vacation pictures :) Allen playing cards. We did a lot of card playing with the POX boys!

More pictures! Now if I can figure out how to get the captions to line up with the pictures lol.

Our Vacation at the Lake!

We left on Friday for the lake. Allen woke up Thursday am with a horrible headache and vomiting. He has migrains sometimes, so that is what I chalked it up to.

Friday he was still feeling yucky, but better, so we left as planned.

Here he is fishing Friday evening. We all had a great time fishing!

Also Jordan out in the boat on Friday evening.

Saturday morning Allen woke up with a STRANGE rash all over his back and stomach. We thought Chicken Pox, but it didn't look like anything I googled. Sunday he still had this strange rash, and since we had a family picnic to go to and my pregnant sister would be there, and we had no idea what this weird rash was, we took him to Urgent Care. Chicken Pox! Very strange! He was NOT itchy at all.

Doug and Allen get home from the UC and we discover Jordan also has chicken pox! Poor kids. They volunteered at VBS 2 1/2 weeks before, so I am sure that is where they got them.

So their vacation was spent with the POX! They were NOT itchy though, so that was a blessing. It was incredibly hot and humid. High 90s and equally high humidity. We were all hot and miserable. But mornings and evenings were cool and wonderful. So they enjoyed the outdoors then and took naps all the hot afternoon. They were exhausted with the POX!

Here are some pictures in no particular order of days or activities ::snort::

Jordan on the boat Dad bought them
Me on the pontoon with Doug. We took many sunsetboat rides with no kids! It was lovely!
