Memorial Day 2008

Charlie and Mommy at Lake Eufaula

Eat (especially something chocolate!), nap, go fishing!
For the past few years, Daniel and I, along with all of his family, go and camp at Lake Eufaula for the Memorial Day weekend. Daniel's parents have an RV and jet skis. They always get a campsite right on the lake. This is one of my and Daniel's favorite vacations of the year because we get to sit and do nothing by the lake. It's not like being at the beach where it is just stifling hot and there's no shade. At the lake, you can sit and bask in the sun or you can find a relaxing spot in the shade...your choice. There's roasting marshmallows at night over the campfire. The best part is that you can go in the RV and sleep with no bugs and you have an air conditioner. We just had the best time this year. Daniel's parents reserved the site for the week before Memorial Day. Daniel took off a few extra days and we headed down on Wednesday and stayed until Monday. Daniel's sister and family joined us on Friday for the weekend. Charlie did surprisingly well. He slept good, including naps during the day. He ate good, along with the rest of us! He loved the water! It was usually a short-lived event but he had fun splashing around until he got bored and was ready for something different. I had found a little float with a sunshade at a consignment store a couple of months ago that worked out well. Also, Charlie got an inflatable pool for his birthday so we took that as well. Again, loved splashing in the water. We got to feed many ducks and geese. Had a blast on the jet skis. And, yes, I actually got in the water. All in all, it was a great vacation!
