For the Lake...
We go every year with Shane's family. It is always a great time!
Doesn't this door mat say it all? Life is good at the lake. Grab your towel and join us!
Welcome Home!
You will have to arm wrestle Sutton to drive the paddle boat. He lived in it and had a lot of trouble following the rules and sharing it!
The Girls
More Kids....
Lovin' the diving board.
The Cha Cha slide...on the diving board. 
Dancing to a little Solider Boy!
Fishing every chance they could...they even bought fish spray!
I keep telling him he needs to look at me in a nice way or I am going to post his picture. Here it is Mr. Grouch!
The Adventure....Big Dick's Halfway Inn. 
The kids all wanted to go....
Because of these fish....
You put a fish (alive) in a shot glass with soda! Gross!!!
Down the hatchet....and earning a t-shirt!
There were 12 of us... 4 shot the minnow this trip to Big Dick's. I think everyone has except, me (because I am prissy, and grossed out) and my kids (if Mom isn't doing it, neither are we attitudes).
Dinner at Carlos and Cindy's. The kids spent equal amounts of time at their home as they did where we were staying. They love Carlos!
We ended our stay with the girls putting on a fashion show. They bought new clothes at the outlet mall and used the bridge to the dock as a run-way. Aunt Renae video taped it and was the make-up artist, hair stylist, and announcer. It was quite the show.
I wish that was the end of my tale. When I got home the black cloud of gloom and doom was floated over my head. I tried putting up an umbrella and all it did was pour on me. My dad has lost most of his eye sight and needs surgery. Very risky with all his other health issues.
Sutton fell on the diving board at the lake. He cut open his toe. We washed it and put a band-aid on it. He didn't get back into the lake after he got hurt. The toe got infected. He ran a temperature. The school nurse called on the 2ND day and said we needed to get him to the doctor.
It is serious. We will find out today what type of bacteria he has in him. They did a culture on it yesterday. His foot still looks awful! He had to get a shot yesterday...that didn't go over very well. He is on medicine to help fight the infection. If we don't react quickly, blood poisoning was briefly mentioned along with admittance to the hospital. I am crossing my fingers we are on the right path...but his poor toe didn't look any better after soaking it twice yesterday and today plus all the medicine.
I am not sure how often I will be able to post until I get my personal life back on track. I have definitely hit a bump in the road or a large pothole.

It looks like you had a fab time at the lake but what a shame to come back to such bad news. I hope your Dad will be OK and poor Sutton certainly needs lots of Mummy cuddles. I will keep my fingers crossed that that his tests come back fine.

Take care
Love and ((hugs))

Gosh, I was thinking how wonderful your vacation looked - like pure fun and play! And then the other news!
I'm sorry to hear about your dad's eyesight. I hope they can do something to help him!
And I am sure Sutton will be alright. I actually had blood poisoning once - from a blister on a finger - and I bounced back very quickly. I certainly wish the same for Sutton!
Hugs, Silke
It sucks when you come home to crap after such a fabulous vacation! I will pray for your dad and son! Keep us posted. Hang in there girly!
Hugs!

It looks like you had a fantastic time at the lake.
I just finished scrapping some pictures of my daughter and her friends on a lake weekend. I used one of your kits from SBookers Dream called 'Lake Living.' Do you remember it?
I'm sorry to read about the health problems facing your dad and Sutton. Hope everything is better now.
