Vacation with Brandon's family

Elephant Rock

Daddy teaching Eli how to play B Ball



Picnic by the lake with Momma while Daddy went fishing with Brandon

Sunday morning worship time with Brandon's family

We loved spending time on this swing...singing and laughing. It was close to the fire pit and BBQ area.

Yum...gotta love smores with marshmallows cooked over the open flame!
This is the house we stayed in!

Late September we went to Piedmont, MO with Brandon and his family. We stayed at a place called Sunset Point resort which is located on Clearwater lake. It's a really pretty and secluded area. This time of the year we had the whole resort to ourselves!!! It was equipped with put put golf, basketball, a pool, tennis, firepit, shuffleball, and fishing. We loved it! We sat around the fire pit and roasted marshmallows...played put put golf, played basketball, fished, went to the playgrounds, talked and laughed and most importantly relaxed!! We had a great time. Eli always loves being around his cousins. He had a great time with Elena and Daisy. We wish we could see them more.

Vacation at a working ranch in Antlers OK

I found a working ranch that had guest houses that you could rent. Our "house" ended up being a restored 1930's passenger car. Being that Eli loves trains we thought it would be perfect! And it was! It was completely decorated with a 1930's theme including a claw foot tub. The setting was beautiful. Within 100 yards there was a stocked pond with ducks, paddle boats, and canoes. It wasn't unusual for a Texas Longhorn to be grazing 15 yards from our place. Eli loved seeing them up close! There were lots of horses around as well. It was quiet and restful. We even enjoyed some time in their pool. Eli began to really enjoy the pool here. He learned that he could jump in to Daddy and make a big splash. He got over his fear of going under the water here. We all had fun!
