Roughing It!

Our yearly trip to Oneida Narrows has come and gone again. Of all the times we have been to Oneida, I would say this trip was one of my favorites! It was a little bit harder with three kids, but we made it work. Makayla and Caden had an absolute blast playing all day long, and Brynnli was a trooper to be all out of wack with her schedule.

We went up on Wednesday and set up our camp, made dinner and sat around the campfire. Thursday we went to the lake and played all day long. Thanks to Ryan for the photo bomb. 

 We loved spending time with all of our cousins. It seems like we always had one of our cousins ready to play with the kids, hang out in our trailer, or playing in the campground.

Friday and Saturday were spent at the lake and floating down the river. Brynnli was such a trooper and managed to sleep wherever she needed to.

 My poor mom had to have bunion surgery on her other foot this year, so she didn't get to do any of the fun water things again this year. Hopefully next year she won't be out of commission.

 This may have been our very last year waterskiing. My dad said he is going to try to sell our boat this year because it won't start some of the time and he spends more time trying to get it ready than we spend using it. It was a great boat for almost 30 years!

 We love hanging out on the boat!

 Makayla is getting braver and braver by the year. She was loving jumping into the water (of course Daddy was there to catch her.)

Caden preferred to just get his legs wet. 

One of my favorite memories from this trip was how cute Caden was with Sara. He insisted on sitting by her at the campfire, and told us, "Sara's my best friend!"

We loved mornings eating breakfast in the trailer

  And breaking all sorts of laws by letting Caden drive.

We also celebrated my dad's birthday!

 Happy birthday to the best dad and grandpa around!

Until next year Oneida!
