Lake Trip

This summer we planned on doing some sort of family "business trip" with our family and the Avila family (John's rabbit and chicken business partner).  Summer flew by and before we knew it the kids were back in school.  Luckily we were able to work out every ones schedule's and we were still able to go on a little weekend trip to the lake. 

Friday night we headed to Lake Don Pedro.  We camped there for the weekend.  Saturday John made arrangements to rent a 26 foot deck cruiser boat with an inner tube.  We had the boat from 8am to 4pm.  The weather was great.  We all had fun and it was nice to get away from it all for a little bit and enjoy some time together as family and friends.

Mikayla was second on the inner tube.  She needed to let all the older kids know that the youngest kid was the bravest!

Ashlee she ended up going on the tube 4 or 5 times throughout the day.




 Time for a break from tubing and time for a swim.

Libby-I seemed to have got on the tube when there were more waves than earlier in the day.  My neck got jerked so much.  I didn't last too long.  I spent the rest of the day with a headache.

Everyone had a fun enjoyable time.  The kids did not want to get out of the water.  When we got back to the campground they were all begging to go swimming in the lake again.  They settled for ice cream and a movie at the campsite instead!  Plans are already in the works for next years family "business trip."  Paul wants to rent a cabin and go horseback riding.  I guess we will have to wait and see what the next year has in store for A&A Farms.
