The first family vacation

We survived/enjoyed our first vacation as a family of four. We went up north to Long Lake for a few days. Taking small children on a vacation isn't exactly relaxing, but it's memorable. The drive up was uneventful. We saw a lot of construction vehicles so Sam was happy. He barely slept even though we were traveling during his nap time. With about 20 minutes left until we arrived at our destination Sam kept asking for Grandma Sue and Grandpa Don. We told him to count to 10 then we'd see them. He said, "8, 9, 10, 8, 9, 10, 8, 9, 10!" and then, "1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 10!"

The first night we stayed in a two bedroom cabin with Grandpa and Grandma Reese. They were kind enough to give us the two bedrooms and they slept on an airbed in the main room. Matthew and I slept in one room and Jason and Samuel in the other. Sam's pack'n'play was at the foot of Jason's bed and Sam woke up about 6AM and Jason gave him the baboosh. Jason then stayed with his head near Sam so in case Sam woke up he could easily give him the baboosh. However, Jason woke up to Sam giving him the baboosh.

Sam's favorite words were Chewbacca (Jason's had Star Wars on the other day) and Grandpa "Dewey" (Duane). He enjoyed feeding the fish some bread from the dock and reluctantly went on two boat rides. What Sam enjoyed most about the boat rides was watching for fish on the fish finder. Matthew received a lot of attention as the youngest person to ever attend the Reese Family Long Lake Vacation, which is in it's seventh year. Matthew showed off his rolling over skills a few times after not rolling over for about two weeks.
