We are Home Sweet Home from a fabulous family vacation at Lake James. I worked on this blog while traveling today and after we got home; however, I apparently hit the wrong key and lost it all!!!!!!!!! UGH...UGH...UGH! So, here's an abbreviated update...
Ryan arrived at 2:15 AM Wednesday and the 14 of us were finally together (with the kids scattered around the country, these times are rare and extra special when everyone puts forth the effort to make a family gathering happen)!
The cousins had a ball! Liam summed it up best when asked what was his favorite part of vacation, he quickly replied "EVERYTHING"!!!
A few tidbits about Lake James - it is a large water reservoir in western North Carolina between Asheville and Charlotte in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It covers 6510 acres with 150 miles of shoreline. All the trees, mountains and water makes for a very picturesque setting!
Our cabins were great, and along with all the water activities (boating, sailing, kayaking, wakesurfing, tubing, swimming, and lounging on the "Relaxation Station") we enjoyed cards (poker and euchre), bean bag toss, good eating and non-stop chatter.
Camp Lake James is wonderful with beautiful pool and hot tub, great recreational area, cafe, kids activities (the boys enjoyed bug hunting and then identifying them with a magnifier; each made flags on flag day and had a "Kids Night Out" from 8-10 on Wednesday.)
Brooke's parents, Bob and Judy spent Tuesday and Thursday with us - always enjoy their company.
