Staycation

We spent the past several days at Mom and Dad's house on a staycation.  It was a busy week, especially given Ryan was at the walk-in doctor on Wednesday morning for a double ear infection - ouch!!!!  He did well, given he was truly miserable.  Poor kiddo.  Just a glimpse of our week in review:

We learned how to drive the 660:

We sat in the boat in the shed, studying fishing lures:

We attempted to waterski, despite the above-mentioned double ear infection and bad cold:

 We sat on the dock, dipped our feet in the cool water, and enjoyed the view on Grindstone:

We jumped off the boat in the middle of the lake:

We learned how to drive the boat:

We sat in a large tube and relaxed: 

 We slow tubed across the lake:

 We kicked it up a notch and fast tubed as well:

 We bathed with lots of bubbles in Grandma's tub:

We made silly faces:

We watched the deer, enjoying a downed apple tree limb:

And we also took in the hummingbirds,

hundreds and hundreds of them.

If only I could bottle up the peace and calm I feel on vacation and open it up when I am back in the hustle and bustle of reality!  Staycation, I miss you already!!!!
