Here is a brief update of where the time has gone. First, the last weekend of August we joined my birth family for a houseboat vacation on Lake Barkley. There were 19 of us and we all stayed on a huge 80' houseboat for 4 days. It was such a great time. The weather was beautiful.
A week later we took off for a 3 weeks adventure through 8 states to visit our family. We first headed to IL to visit my Dad. We took a big trip to the Decatur Zoo, the play area at the mall and Dairy Queen. There really isn't that much to do there. We had a great time there.
Next, we headed to Cincinnati to the Great Wolf Lodge to meet Jon's mom, sister and family. If you haven't been to the Great Wolf Lodge, you must go. We love it and the kids love it even more.
After three days of the water park, we headed to Oakdale. Oakdale is one of our favorite places in the world. Jon and I both worked there and we love to go and visit as much as we can. We have so many dear friends there. Kiah got to participate in the home school coop while she was there, which included soccer practice. Jacob enjoyed playing with "boy toys."
We left Oakdale for North Carolina to visit Jon's brother Brad. Jacob thinks Uncle Brad is pretty cool, he can lift him to touch the ceiling and he has a motorcycle. Jacob wanted a ride, but he is just to little.
Our last visit on this trip was to Spartanburg, SC to visit my birth grandparents. The kids had fun playing with silly Aunt Shelly on grandpa's scooter. Jacob loves it there because there are trains. Grandma was happy to meet Karis, since she is named after her.
From here we headed back to KY. This wasn'y the end of our traveling, more to come...
