Over Labor Day weekend we took a somewhat impromptu trip with some friends, the Strattons and Rasmussens, to Lake Tawakoni. I had originally nixed the idea of a Labor day trip to Broken Bow Lake with the argument that, although I really like Broken Bow, there are no cabins on the lake which means you pretty much pack up and spend the whole day at the lake. I didn't think me stuck in a cabin with a newborn for 4 days while the rest of the family was gone at the lake all day was such a great idea for a family vacation (I know, I'm a brat). So the men, wanting their wake boarding adventure weekend (AKA pretend like we're 19 weekend) found a last minute substitute...a cabin ON the lake with it's own dock and acreage for the kids to play on...plus only 1 1/2 hours away. OK - that might just work! So we went, and everyone had a great time. The kids went out on the boat - Addison even went on the tube a couple of times - and spent hours catching little frogs that were all over around the cabin. Wade got his fill of wake boarding - perfected a few tricks (I'll post a video soon). I spent most of my time in the cabin and on the dock watching the kids swim. I even caught a nap or two with Noah and was able to spend some quality time with the family thanks to our proximity to the lake. Yea!
