All the kiddos on the boat! Kylie, Ella, Kathleen and Brody.
Ella was also quick to find out how to change the radio stations! Buttons, buttons, buttons!
Ella showing Michael where the boat horn is - oh great!
Stay off of the water - Ella is driving!!! Not only did Michael take Ella on her first boat ride, but he let her drive the boat! What a great day! We made so many fun memories! Thank you Michael!
Bob, Ella and Brody - off we go!
Kathleen, Michael, Brody, Bob and Ella.
Bob, Ella, Kylie and Keith.
Mommy and Ella getting ready to go out for round 2 on the boat! The Vaske's headed back home to St. Louis that night. After closing the office, Paulette joined the rest of us for more boating fun and dinner on the lake! What a way to see the sunset!
Kathleen and Ella at the bar- this will be trouble some day!
Brody, Kathleen and Ella on our evening/night boat ride! We were able to be out on the boat at night, a first for the Swanson's - another great memory due to the Spriggs family. The moon was amazing and it was so peaceful. The kids were troopers staying up so late. I think loading them up with Shirley Temples at dinner may have helped! Ella was acting out a scene from Titanic on the ride home, standing on the front of the boat with arms out, pointing and screaming. She was laughing so hard that she kept falling over! We love our wild and crazy child!
We are so fortunate to have wonderful friends in the Ozarks that spoil us rotten! We stay at Point Randall Resort which is owned by Michael and Paulette Spriggs. Michael and my brother Matt went to college together and have been friends for years. Michael, who is like another big brother and his wonderful wife Paulette hook us up when we stay there! They have two adorable children Brody who is 3 1/2 and Kathleen who is 22 months. They are true lake babies, talk about naturals on the boat and in the water! Michael took us out on Paulette's parents pontoon for the afternoon. So much fun! He gave us a tour of the lake, then dropped an anchor and the daddies and kids went for a swim! Michael is right, there is nothing like going for dip in the middle of the lake! The weather was perfect, as it always seems to be there. Thank you Spriggs family for another fabulous vacation! We love you!
