Family vacations were a big deal in our house growing up. We made so many memories taking trips here and there. For the past few years, we've talked about doing a trip together with my parents and sister's family, and this year, we decided to make it a reality! Since the kids had the week of Thanksgiving off, we all met up at Caddo Lake for a few days of vacation together. My parents rented an awesome cabin on the lake with plenty of room for all 10 (soon to be 11) of us, and the whole trip was fabulous.
You'll recall we vacationed there once before and we totally fell in love with the lake's beauty and mystery. I've honestly never been anywhere like it. It's not a "hey let's go swimming" lake (watch out for alligators), but it's great for canoeing and fishing -- which is exactly what we did. We were a long way away from cell phone reception or a Walmart and I loved it. We were really able to unplug from everything and just be.
It was also a real treat just to get to hang out with the whole family for a few days. The kids had so much fun running around, playing, and exploring. At night after they all went to bed, we'd stay up and play games and laugh together. It was a really great time.
I'm so thankful for a wonderful family and for God's amazing creation he gave us to enjoy.
I love the family picture! Miss you guys lots!
