Family Vacation at Deep Creek Lake

After about a month hiatus, I am back and ready to get this blog up to date. On Saturday, August 14th, we packed up the van for a week long vacation at Deep Creek Lake with all of Dan's family. Dan's parents newly constructed lake house is beautiful on the inside and out.Dan worked hard on Sunday with some finishing touches by hanging the draperies in two of the bedrooms.
But after Sunday, it was no work and all play. We brought our new moonbounce with us (thank goodness for the van) and Carter, Nathan and Isabelle enjoyed jumping and sliding a couple times during the week. Andrew enjoyed the swing, except for the one time he tried to climb out of it and landed on his head. Luckily the ground beneath was pretty soft mud, so he was mostly scared and dirty.
The kids also enjoyed reading with Grandad.

And of course, we spent lots of time eating. All dinners were delicious, but some were more enjoyable than others (I guess that's to be expected with five kids). Here are pictures of the better mealtime moments.


And let's not forget the newest Vaughan..... Ethan Alexander. He was adorable and when he wasn't sleeping or eating, he loved looking around at his new surroundings and attempting to roll-over on his playmat.


One evening, we had a special birthday dinner for all the adults with birthdays in the 2nd half of the year. The kids LOVED going to Candyland to pick out treats for the goody bags!


Stay tuned for more postings of week long adventure at Deep Creek Lake.
