We spent another 6 hours and traveled over to Okoboji for Steve's annual family vacation. 20 people in 5 cabins on Spirit Lake. The first night we had a serious storm. The tornado sirens were going off, the wind and rain were out of control....and then our power went off. Luckily, the worst thing that happened was a big branch fell off of a tree onto Steve's sisters cabin but everyone was ok and over all the weather was great all week!
The difference between our two families? The Goodrich's have a lot of kids!
Here is Gavin, Sam and Ella.
The oldest ones, Jake and Jordan (brothers, can you tell?)
and here is Austin with Presley.
Presley's cheesy smile during breakfast. She basically wants to sit like a big kid now, no highchair and prefers that we don't cut her food into small pieces (even though most of the time we still do).
One day we went to Arnold's Park and walked around and watched the kids on the rides, Presley is still a little young to ride anything by herself but she loves watching everyone! Then we had lunch at the Barefoot Bar right on the lake, it was fantastic (until Presley decided she wanted to climb on, over and under her highchair instead of sitting in it)! They even have a playground for kids, and boy did she love it! I don't think she realizes that she is too little to climb on some of these things, but she sure tries anyway!
Ava ate an Oreo, and loved it!
Zac showed Presley one of the frogs they caught...she was not impressed. (and yes, we did end up eating fried frog legs with our fish fry on Friday night. Well, I did NOT eat any!
They also had a new game to play instead of bean bags! Beersbee (kinda like frisbee, but includes a target and beer!)
Steve and his siblings - Matt, Jason, Steve and Roxanne
The fishing was a little slow until the last night we were there, then they started catching a little of everything. Here is Steve's big small-mouth bass.
and one of his walleyes!
The sunsets were so pretty, we probably took 20 pictures just of the sky and water!
It was a great, relaxing week and we are already ready for next year!!
