Vacation with my Dad and Family


Every year we take a vacation with my Dad and his wife, Sue. All of my Dad's kids and their families and Sue's kids and their families join in the fun. This is a photo of my Dad and Sue with all their grand kids! We cannot believe we pulled off this shot! We bribed the older kids with marshmallows. 8 grandchildren in total! What a crew!

We go to Maumee Bay State Park north of Toledo, Ohio on Lake Erie. For those who do not know - Ohio has beautiful state parks. This one is the newest - each family (The Nunn's, The Rooker's and Dad and Sue) all have their own air conditioned, full amenity cabin. The cabins connect to each other via a boardwalk. We spend most of our days at the pool / resort where they have kids activities occurring almost every hour. Sometimes, we go to the beach at the lake. But - the pool is the favorite hang-out.

The vacation is a lot of fun for all of us and we look forward to it every year! (Except I think Jackie dreads the 12 hour drive they have to take from Iowa to get there!). Next year - we are searching for a new destination, as this was our third year at Maumee Bay State Park.

More pix to come!

Thanks, Dad and Sue for this wonderful trip! It was much needed for me!

We too love this wonderful vacation as we get to love and enjoy the whole family. It sure is a special time of the year for us. We love all of you. I can't believe we pulled of the picture either. Our prayers will be with all of you tomorrow as Christy begins to destroy the enemy. Love Dad and Sue
