The Perfect Getaway Close to Home!

This week we got together with the Moore side of our family for a little vacation without all the long traveling. We headed down to Brown County and stayed in a family cabin at the Abe Martin Lodge. Let me tell you if you haven't been down there before it is GREAT!  Tons of trails and the cabin was pretty amazing too.  Not to mention what the boys thought was the best part, a totally fun indoor water park.  We all had a good time, even after crazy weather! On Monday a few storms rolled through and wouldn't you know, yep, it took out all the power.  So, although we had a cabin with a small kitchen and air conditioning that storm took out our luxury camping! Even without power, we ended up having a great time. Here are a few pics to prove it!

One of the boys favorite part of the trip, the water park!

One day we took a trip to Columbus to visit the new Commons area for kids. All the boys love it.

Trying to get them all to smile and look at the camera at the same time is almost impossible!

Finally, we capped the trip off with dinner at McDonald's. Since we had no power it seemed like a logical place to eat especially once the kids found out there was a train that ran on a track above the sitting area. At first we had Max sitting with the grown-ups, I was trying to keep all his food from ending up on the floor. But, he was not a happy camper. We suddenly realized that all he wanted was to sit with the big boys. I had to get this picture once we got him situated as one of the big kids. He is such a ham!

Thanks again Grandma, Aunt Steph, Uncle Keith, Brandon and Tyler. We all had a GREAT time!
