We enjoyed our annual Bishop family vacation last weekend at Arrowwood! It was a great weekend and the kids had a blast....swimming was the highlight this year!
Luke worked on Friday so I drove the kids up and met the rest of my family on Friday morning. We stopped at an awesome rest stop on our way and the kids played on the playground for a few minutes before we made the rest of the drive!
We swam in the indoor pool on Friday when we got there....for 3 hours straight! The kids had an absolute blast! Nora and Jack enjoyed throwing rings in for Bishop to dive for and Madelyn was a little fish--swimming all over the place! It was so fun to see all the kids more comfortable in the water and it definitely wasn't as stressful or nerve wracking as in years past!
After swimming we went back to the cabin and searched for frogs. We only saw a couple all weekend....and we caught the same one more than once! I think we were a little early for the frogs. But, we saw and caught a couple turtles instead, which was fun!

Friday night we grilled out and hung out at the cabin. We celebrated my Mom's birthday (which was Sat) and Father's Day (Sun) with cupcakes on Friday night and the kids got a big kick out of blowing out the candles! Nana is so sweet to share! ;)

| Ready, steady....go! |
Everyone slept relatively well (except for maybe Luke). Nora slept with Nana and they both enjoyed that! On Saturday morning Bishop, Madelyn and Jack hung out in Papa's room with Papa and myself and we watched some cartoons! Then it was off to the water park for the morning! The kids really enjoyed the water park more this year too! I got to go down the slide many times with Nora...I loved it! I even got to join the big kids on a train down the slide!

| Happy Birthday Nana! |

| This huge turtle was right outside our door! |
We spent time going on the the little zipline and playing on the playground as well. We attempted to swim in the outdoor pool on Saturday, but it was a bit chilly and we were all more comfortable inside, so that was fun!

| We even made a bonfire to roast marshmellows |

| Happy Father's Day, Dad! |
On Sunday we woke up and headed to the water park for one last time before it was time to go home. We made sure to give dad and Papa lots of hugs and kisses as it was Father's Day! We all had a blast at the waterpark.....we went back, packed up and headed for home!

| Happy Father's Day, Dad! |

| Nora absolutely ADORES her big cousin, Madelyn! |
