Yesterday consisted of eating, having "Bible time" with most of the family, hot tubbing, swimming, falling asleep on a pool chair, more eating, seeing my other set of grandparents, eating, the bean bag tourney (we were out in the second round - Mandy - thanks for being interested), eating, and a crazy, intense three games of badmitton - boys vs. girls. We lost all three. It made me sad. But we played for 90 mins - awesome activity points. Then we had to deal with my almost deaf grandfather watching Pirates of the Carribean (the first one) at top volume, even though people were sleeping. Boo...
I had some good conversations, napping, and activity. I just shouldn't work and move up here. Geez...
I think today we're facing possible mini-golf, shopping, and dinner as a whole family tonight at a restaurant in town. We attempted to make a reservation for 21 and a high chair on Saturday, and the host almost passed out. Gotta love big, family vacations.

Sounds like a great family vacation. At least you aren't cooking for 21. That could be less like a vacation and more like a prison term. My in-laws have this notion that we all want to go to Gatlinburg next summer and spend a week in a Chalet. Unfortunately, when we all commune together I do all the cooking or we don't eat. Unless it's tacos, which my kids won't eat, so then I get to go to McDonald's for Happy Meals... needless to say... I love family, but sometimes they stress me out.
I'm disappointed in your quick elimination from the bean bag tourney. We shall have to practice on my next trip to town. I hope that the mini golf went better or we're really going to have to talk about getting you some skills :-)
Awww I am on your blog roll. So cool I am liked. I have a lot of people on my blog roll, but I am not on their's :( So you rock! I am so bored right now. Well enjoy my home sweet home!

Hi Lynn, I know you don't know me but I have heard alot about you and just decided to check out your blog after seeing it on Luke's. Anyway, your family vacation blogs remind me alot of my own family. I am also transplanted. Only, I am a southerner transplanted in NY. I will be home next week for my grandparents 50th anniversery where we are taking a large family portrait and where I am also the oldest grandchild. Unlike you ,however, I am not married. I still see many similarities in the group vacation. Anyway...just thought I would let you know someone else out there can relate. OH, and I hope to meet you at church while I am home!
