Lake Tenkiller

At the beginning of July we met my family in Oklahoma and headed to a place called Lake Tenkiller. We stayed in a great little resort and while the decor and gift shop haven't changed since Alicia was a child (it's exactly as she always remembered it) it was a great place to stay. We had fun being on the water and playing together. At first it seemed the weather wouldn't cooperate but it turned out to be perfect.

WAKE SURFING
This was our new experience. You literally surf behind the boat. Even though the surfer is seen holding a rope, you aren't actually being towed. It was really fun. Ben was a great teacher - so good that even the littlest kids were able to try it out.





On the boat - Samuel actually liked the boat a lot, he especially loved all the time he got to be with Daddy.

This guy just melts my heart! He was so proud of this seat. It's above the regular seats so he had to hold on tight :-)
We actually flew into Dallas and then drove to Tulsa. Joshua was in his glory with a great collection of Geotrax and Uncle Brian has the perfect hallway to build in.

He's eating!!

I know it's weird to document the first time your child eats a PBJ sandwich. However, those of you who know Sam know this is a BIG deal. This is the boy who lives on pretzels, Danimals, and chips with some random fruit thrown in. This one day he decided to eat a sandwich after helping Adam make it. Now I know most of you are thinking, "Ah! If he makes it he'll eat it." I was hoping that was true, however, in the following days a repeat of this performance was no where to be seen. Sam will gladly help anyone make a PBJ sandwich day or night, just don't ask him to eat it.
