What do a Torn MCL, Mono, Strep, and E-Coli Poisoning have in common?

A Haines, Fuchs, Hall, Gasen, Vacation of course!!!! Now, this may sound like the setup for the worst vacation ever but I must tell you it was in truth one of our best ones yet!! LOL! We had WONDERFUL weather, lots of pool and lake time in the sun, and a lot of laughter! We boated to different places to eat our meals, and played on beaches and water slides(where we obtained some wicked E-coli poisoning perhaps), we swam in the pool and played sand volleyball (where the torn MCL happened), The strep and mono happened to a friend who was on vacation with us and he actually got it right upon returning home! I am not going to jabber to much but will let the pictures tell the stories!! We were in the water so much that bathing suits were our main wardrobe which in turn means not to many pictures of all of us because well we don't want to be seen like that! HA!

 Sleeping on the drive to the Ozarks, we left around 4:30 a.m. so that they could sleep for most of it!

                                                                   Driving the boat with Pa!

                  Trying to pose all these kiddos for one good picture! HA! I am pretty sure we didn't succeed!

 This is the life!! (Yes she still has a bottle at two, don't judge! she does know how to drink from a cup)

 Swimming at the beach, there were these tiny fish swimming all around the girls! It was unreal! (and maybe a little gross!!)

 Carleigh couldn't wait for Pa to take her on a "circle ride" (that is what she calls tubing!) They had a blast!

 

 Most of the place we went had these swim up bars!! There are even bar stools in the water!!!

                                              We wore them out each and every day!!!!

       LOL! Tim will love this one! But I couldn't resist! Apparently he had a few drinks and got nice and relaxed!! A fun time was had by all!!! :) Wish I had more pictures to share!
