Our Mini-Vacation

Tony and I about to get soaked on a water ride.
Desiree, Micah, and Rhett on bumper cars. (It took Micah a while to figure out the point WAS to bump each other. She kept saying, "Don't Rhett!!")
Sharon, Tabby, and I on the bumper cars.
Tony driving the go cart (it looks like his body is missing!).
Micah and I on the old-fashion cars.

Micah and Herb waiting to go on the Cave Tour.
Devin, Desiree, and Rhett after the cave tour.

Rhett and Devin riding in last place! ;)
Micah, Rhett, and Desiree on a kiddie-ride.

Our plans were to go visit my aunt and uncle in Florida for our vacation this summer, but since my mom is too sick to travel (and Tony wasn't up for a 12-13 hour car trip with 3 kids in a van) we decided to just go camping. We ended up going on a mini-vacation (3 days) to Bowling Green, KY with Tabby and Sharon and their families. We went on a boat tour through a cave, to Beech Bend Park, and the guys went to the Corvette Museum while the girls did some shopping. We rented a camper with Tabby and Sharon brought the pop-up camper. We really had a great time, although it didn't really feel like camping (we stayed on the campgrounds at the Beech Bend Park). Tony wanted to fish, but the area of Barren River where we were camping was low due to the lack of rain.

If the saying is true, "A dirty kid is a happy kid," then my kids must have been the happiest kids in the world! ;) Micah's shoes were so dirty that when we went shopping the last day, I bought her a new pair of flip flops and threw hers away. I had to use "Goo-Gone" on their legs were band-aids once were to get the dirt and grime off.
