Keiper Family Getaway

 We started off the Keiper Family Getaway weekend with Dancing in the Streets.  My dad took his car because he's considering selling.  There's a story about who was interested in selling but I don't really want to put that on the internet.  I will just say that he is a local public figure and he said, "ALRIGHT BABY!" and we having been laughing about it ever since.

 The kids loved watching the cars do whole shots.  (Sarcasm font needed) In fact, the cars scared them so much, Charlotte (who had just officially started potty training) literally peed all over herself and the stroller.  It was dripping down the sidewalk.  Sheesh. What a mess.  She also did a major number two and I ended up throwing her third outfit from that night into the portojohn toilet.  Wowzers.  Not a good time to start potty training but we think putting stuff off is like super fun... haha!!

 The next day, we headed off for vacay.  Andrew brought his bike which is suction cupped to our roof.  Yikes! But it's a sweet temporary bike rack system.  Big fan of this thing!

 On our way down to Lake Monroe, we visited baby cousin Wyatt after his surgery.  Kiddo is doing so great!! We are so proud of how tough he is.  He's one resilient little guy.

 He just makes our kids so happy.  It's adorable. 

 They also loved to visit Wyatt's house because he likes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse too.

After a surprisingly long drive, we finally made it to the lake.  The kids got right on the boat. Hey look! Ducks!

 This picture would have been super amazing if I didn't look like a total dweeb and if you could actually SEE Emily.  But oh well, it's still kind cool and Charlotte looks totes adorbs.

 After some fun on the lake, we hung out in our hotel rooms and played spoons, a family favorite. 
It was down to the two Keiper boys in this pic. 

 Jack was victorious!

 We all crapped out from him one by one.  It might have had something to do with the drinks that the adults were participating in.  I can't say. 

 The next day we did some wakeboarding.  Way to go Lilli!

 So did I! I haven't wakeboarded in YEARS.  Pretty sure it was well before I was pregnant with Tommy.  So long ago.  But it was like riding a bike.  Sort of.  I was a little rusty.

 The kiddos loved playing on the beach.

 Jack loved playing Pokemon. ;-)

 As per usual, something went wrong with the boat.  The accelerator cable broke.  So we decided to rent a pontoon for the last day. 

 It was perfect! The weather, the boat, the people. A perfect end to our mini vacay.

 We did a whole lot of THIS.  Just floating around.

 But we did somehow manage to get a family picture.  iPhone cameras always coming through!

Then we did some more floating and a lot of jumping out of the boat. 

Then we made the kids do some dabbing.  It was a perfect summer vacation for the whole family.  A great time was had by all.
