This week, Wes skipped work. We loaded up the car for our big adventure. After driving for a whopping 15 minutes... ta da, we were there :) As Kaleb calls it, we were at the 'swimming hotel' otherwise known as The Lodge. It is in fact wonderful and affordable and has an incredibly great pool for kids. What's more to love. Oh, ya- the food is amazing too! And, did I mention it is 15 miles away. Makes it even better :) Along the drive, there is a point in the road where you can see The Lodge off in the distance- across the expanse in 'the beautiful forest' as Kaleb always calls it. As soon as we came over the hill where you can see The Lodge in the distance, Kaleb yelled "Mom, there it is!!!" legs bouncing and body wiggling with anticipation. It is pretty cool!
Did I mention she's got confidence?
And loves doing something for the thrill of it...
Fun times!!
Also, on the vacation agenda... a fun drive through Custer State Park.
Kaleb was quite enthralled with his 'buffalo magazine'
...psst, look out the window ;)
Lots of cute baby buffalo!
Heads up, the crazy begging burros...
Yes, I scratched their noses :)
Elsie telling me about all the fun stuff out the window...
Then, we had a lovely lunch on the dock at Legion Lake watching the fish jump.
Next, a walk down the shoreline to play at the little park...
Proof that we even brought Wes with ;)
Another little family of geese :)
Then, we headed back to the hotel to enjoy another night of swimming
before heading home this morning.
Ahh, life is grand. It is so good to be together- Praise the Lord!!!
