We well I decided to eave like at 3:00 in the morning so that the kids would be asleep most of the drive. So I packed up the car and at 3 we left, I started the rive and By 8:00 I was done and it was Gary's turn to take over so I could catch some zzzz's. Mind you I had at this point gotton no sleep in 24 hours and have no idea how I did that, but I did. We got there around 11 and went to chek in to out Hotel, but could not until 3, so we decided to meet up with some Family who was already there, grab a bite to eat, and start our vacation! We ended up going to the Lake, and stayed there most of the afternoon. Later on ALL the Family meet up for a Family dinner. We ate and enjoyed some card games while the kids watched a movie. I turned out well!
Here are most of the kids enjoying movie

They were gone for a little over an hour, so Gary and I decided to do some shopping and enjoy each others company! We were walking around and an into Carly(Gary's sister) and ha her snap a shot of us, and this is what she got! Yes we are goof balls!
We decided to meet up with Lani an Ryan and grab some lunch, so we did, not having a whole lot of time we grabbed some pizza, and before we got it, it was time to go and get the kiddos. Carly and I took off to do so, and in the shopping plaza they had bungee jumping, so Gary at the pizza place and I am here decide to let the kids do it and I would go an pick him up after! (who needs to eat when you can play)Well this took FOREVER! We waited patiently fr almost 40 min before it was our turn, and from the pics below and the look on my boys(Raegan wanted nothing to do with it) face it was so worth it!
