We were joined by the Gaths – Mike, Lindsay, Finley and Bryson as well as Eric, Noelia and Preto.

We made smores, played cards, hiked the nature trails, attended a reptile show (the kids held snakes) and swam in the pool. The camping spots were great – very secluded and quiet. Definitely going to add this to our list of places to return to.

For Christmas this year, Santa came and brought Eisley a new bike and a Leapfrog game. Everett got a basketball hoop and a Lego table.

We kept it pretty low-key for New Years. We took the kids down to Auditorium Shores and watched a few kid-friendly bands play, Joe McDermott and Big Don.

Eisley picked out what she wanted to carve and she wanted a girl monster. That night we went trick-or-treating. Both kids were dressed up as super heroes – Super Sister and Super Brother to be exact.

We wanted to spend time with the kids, so she chose a place that was perfect for families. It had several pools, a lazy river, slides, playgrounds and a place to roast marshmallows at night.

The kids picked flowers, completed a corn maze and chose a couple of pumpkins.

Courtney and I hadn’t been there since we were kids. We had fun exploring all the old buildings and enjoyed a Biscuit Brothers concert before we left (although we were hot and hungry and glad when the concert ended).

We opened presents in the morning as a family and then celebrated her birthday with all her friends at a Yoga studio. They held a yoga session for the kids (and some parents) and then Eisley got to open presents while her friends helped her. Later that day, Courtney and I took the kids to Phil’s Ice House and let them eat burgers and play on the playground.

Happy birthday Eisley. We love you!
