Broken Bow weekend

We finally went on vacation this year! We were so excited to get a way from it all. After a 4 hour car-drive, we met our friends at Beaver Bend Cabins in Broken Bow, OK. It was so peaceful up there.Our cabin(really it was a large house) was great. the upstairs had a huge loft where all of the children slept. On Friday night, we just hung out and got settled in.Saturday morning we headed out to the lake and rented a party barge. The kids had fun tubing, and the lake was just the right temperature. If you know me, I'm not really a water kind of person, especially not lakes, but I found myself enjoying it! The lake is man made but it is beautiful. I even rode the tube a bit. Here is some video of lydia driving the boat with Eric's help.

After the lake, we were all tired and came back and made dinner, and the adults watched 17 again. What a funny movie!( btw its NOT a kid movie)
I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Sunday came and we headed to Idabell to the LDS Branch, but realized it was their Stake conference after no one came to the building. We headed back to the cabin, and spent the rest of the day talking, and playing games. Monday morning we packed up, and said our goodbyes.
I so wish we could do this every year. Thanks to the Sonneborn's and Anderson's for a great weekend!
