Vacation Time
This past week Jesse, Lauren and I had the opportunity to vacation at Jesse’s Grandpa’s. The whole Schutt family was there and we had such a good time. His Grandpa lives on a lake so we enjoyed lots of activities that had to do with water, as well as anything outside. The weather was great and made for such a much needed time of rest and relaxation. Since we took around 200 pictures between all of us this week I thought I would share a few. Don’t worry I won’t post all 200! 
Jesse, Lauren and I
Lauren just loved being able to play the piano. And when we would let her down on the ground she would dance! It was pretty funny.
It’s funny, sometimes people joke about having enough kids for a baseball team but truth is, Jesse’s family does have enough kids for a baseball team. One of the evenings we all jumped in the car and headed to a nearby park for a fun game of baseball. You can see the game going on behind us.
Nothing says family vacation like some toasty smore’s and singing praises to God around a nice campfire!
Since Grandma and Grandpa remodeled their bathroom this year, removing their bathtub, we had to improvise to give Lauren a bath. But Lauren sure didn’t mind taking one in the kitchen sink since I gave her a sweet mow hawk!
Lauren sure likes her Grandma…
...And her daddy! She had a temperature for a few days during the week but pulled through it well with lots of snuggle time. In the end we ended up with two new molars!
This was Lauren’s first real movie watching time and as you can tell she is really into it. Not sure if that is a good thing! Fortunately our TV is in our basement and we don’t go down there too much to watch it!
We are always so fortunate to be able to water ski when we go to Grandpa and Grandma’s. Here is a picture of one of Jesse’s many ski runs.
Since I wasn’t able to water ski or knee board this year (believe me I tried but no one thought it was a good idea being 6 months pregnant!) Lauren and I enjoyed some swimming time instead.
She sure liked floating in the turtle. Although after 10 years of Grandma calling it a turtle I think we figured out that it is actually a frog! Sorry Grandma.
On our way home Lauren entertained herself in her car seat very well. It was a little bit longer drive than normal since we detoured to go and pick up Reya where she was being watched.
What an amazing week we had. Thank you to the Smith’s, Herbie and Joy for watch Asher, the chickens and our house to make this trip possible for us! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa we are already looking forward to next year!
