To end our summer, the five of us ran away to the Wild Oak Ranch for a few days. It was wonderful... especially this fake beach that fed into the Rattlesnake River (a lazy river with nice clean, chlorinated water). We spent 90% of our time here just playing in the sand and floating the river. Did I mention that it was wonderfully relaxing? Yep, that's right... our family vacation was relaxing for mom and dad, too!
our crew just after we arrived and were exploring the grounds...
hugging on my boy...
sunglasses are a must every minute for Will! He'll tell you he has sun allergies?
snack time by the pool....(also our only family photo shot of the weekend...oh,well!)
sand fun...
Cal wasn't as crazy about the sand so he usually hung out in the water while the others played in the sand. And I usually joined him!
Ella mastered swimming around the Rattlesnake River...
It's so rare that we have a shot with all three of our kids together and here's three in a row. Photography success!
Big Cal posing for the camera practicing saying "eeese"...
I think this is a lost sheep,
and this is the shepherd going to find it. You just never know when kids will choose to act out Bible stories:). love it!
We ended our last night with s'mores. Perfect!
and quite messy!
What fun! It's so hard to see summer coming to an end! We had what was probably our very best summer ever. Now we've moved onto things like school shopping, sleep training (I
just thought I was finished with that when my kids were babies) and gearing up for our Ella to turn six. Life is busy but thank you God, so very blessed!
