We took our annual Bishop Family vacation in July this year! We decided to go when it was warm enough to play outside and be able to swim outside! Since we made this decision late in the game, our options were limited. We didn't want to drive TOO far, as we decided to make it a 2 night vacation this year. Due to availability we ended up at Sugar Lake Lodge and it was perfect for us!!
We arrived on Friday afternoon and we played in the sand for a bit and then went swimming. The pool was nice and warm...it was so nice and warm it was hard to get out of the water! We grilled burgers and hung out in our place the rest of the evening. We were right on the golf course, so Papa was able to practice some putting....along with some help! ;)

Uncle Luke built a bonfire and the kids roasted marshmellows and made smores as their dessert! The weather was absolutely beautiful all weekend--it had been VERY hot, but it cooled down with the highs in the 70s, which was perfect!

Saturday morning the guys went golfing, so the moms and the kids went to the park to play! The kids couldn't get enough of the swings!

The park was at a sports complex.....and the local 4H chapter was hosting a service event for kids. Bishop raced a minnow, the kids played ring toss, colored with chalk, played mini golf and got to dress up! For all of the events they participated in they got candy.....it was a big hit!

We hung out in the cabin and the kids napped for a bit and then it was back to the beach and the pool!

The kids and Auntie, Uncle and Nana got a ride back to the cabin on the golf cart--they were all pretty excited for the ride!

These were the best 2 pictures we got! It's hard with 10 people (and 4 under 4)!
It was a very fun weekend and one I was sad to see come to an end. Last year was challenging, but this year was FUN!! I can't wait for next summer!!
