Locust Lake 2019

    Another one is in the books!  We had a fantastic week at Locust Lake in the Poconos.

Upon arrival, the kiddos got right into the water!


The boys!

We became very popular with the ducks all week long!


The ladies!
Anthony fishing....look at that sunset!


What's going on???!?!

SUCCESS!

 We had perfect weather for lots of beach time!





Maiden voyage to the dock!


Whoo hooo!!!


Allie was just a bit more timid with her jumping....
 However, I reminded her of the first year we came here and she wouldn't go out into the water unless she has holding my hand....she's come a long way!

Love those smiling faces!

The Snack Shack was up and running again!

This was new this year!!!  The kids loved it!


Hang on, Mason!

The duck was back!

Mason flying high!


I love this picture of Allie.....just returning from a hard day at sea.

I asked Mike to take this picture of us because....

....it reminded me of this picture of us. (2016)





Belly flop!


Fishing has become a huge favorite of Cam's!
Cam and Anthony became fishing buddies!

Allie tried her hand at fishing!


I enjoyed fishing!

Success!
The boys still fishing!



Best buds
Can you see the fishermen way out?

He loved every minute!
This drink became a huge favorite of the adults!

The boys were on a mission to create a nature sanctuary!
Everyone joined in!


It turned out really nice!

Lots of fun on the water!











This was quite amazing.

We survived!


The moms went out for a wild night on the water....


Erin and I were patiently waiting while Tiff fought with an ant in her kayak.

I tried my hand at a few yoga poses.

This pose did not go well...but Tiff's face!

Chivasana (Corpse Pose for all you non-yogis)

Off we go!

Here we are in the swimming zone...breaking so many rules!

I love this picture.




More summer fun!


All the adults!  Minus Lisa who was taking the picture.

Too long of a story and I know I won't do it justice....I wonder if we'll remember the story of this 20 years from now?!??!

Lisa made the week even more special by making it CHRISTMAS IN JULY!

   We became totally obsessed with the game, Exploding Kittens.  Again, long story...but this pink hat started out as a Christmas present and quickly turned into the CONE OF SHAME!



Lots of relaxation...

Little bit of coloring....

I told the girls that they were living their best lives in this picture.

 We went on several adventures during the week!

Peek-a-boo!

What did Cam find???

Cam found a Newt!

He's a cute little guy.



Mike tried his hand at cairn building.


This girl rocked it in her sandals!








 This was super fun!!!
I think Tiff missed the memo that we were looking tough!

Let's gooooo!!!





There were pirates on the trip!

We had a lot of fun splashing each other....Dave REALLY enjoyed this part!

Soaking wet!

Focused.




 Get those pirates!


  It was such a fun week.  It is really neat seeing the kids build friendships and memories together.  The parents were ALMOST able to sit and relax ALMOST the entire week.  Plus the weather was almost perfect.

  We then made a quick stop at the Shades of Death hiking trail.  Terrifying name but beautiful hike!










 It's great living so close to so many beautiful places to explore!
