DZ Family Okoboji 2009

We spent last week at Okoboji with Stan's side of the family. It has become an annual tradition and this year for the 29th year of vacationing. The destination changes on occasion but the fun remains the same. We spent time swimming, at the beach, playing games (Pinochle and 5 Crowns were the hit this year), boating, playing at the park, sleeping (my favorite), and eating lots of wonderful food. It is always a challenge to get my stomach back to where it should be after a week of great food! Joselyn did pretty well but had her moments of not wanting to sleep at night. I should learn to not mess with "the routine"; however most of the time it is worth it. The boys had lots of fun playing with their 2nd cousins all of whom are about the same age. Aiden enjoyed eating "pollylops" (aka lollypops) and Keegan must be growing because he was eating everything in sight. One night he ate a whole hamburger and a hot dog; which is unusual for him!
Joselyn continues to grow and change. Her face is really starting to fill out. After returning from vacation she had a couple good nights of sleep however Saturday night was not so good as she was awake until 2 a.m.! Last night again was better. We finally purchased another baby monitor and trying to get her to sleep in her crib instead of the pack n play in our bedroom.

Here are some pictures from vacation:

Keegan enjoyed the boat ride this year.

Aiden was pretty proud to drive Brad and Paige's boat.



Bubbles are always a huge hit along with the Goggle this year! Keegan didn't want to take them off.
