Oak Lake Campground

What a fun find! We've had the opportunity to camp several places over the last few years, but we're always up for a new location. Seth googled "Indiana Campgrounds" and we're sure glad this one came to the top of the list. He scouted it out, and I'm fairly certainly we'll be making a return trip. It made a typical weekend feel like a long weekend, there was so much to do. The kids and adults both loved it! Here are the highlights:
1.) They have a giant jumping pillow, playground and little tykes playground for the kiddos. Right at the main entrance. Perfect.
2.) They have a lake with a huge water trampoline, gyroball, and climbing wall. Again, the kids AND adults both loved it! Even Emmalyn!
3.) They had activities all day long for the kids - so family friendly. They had face painting (for free, mind you!), tye-die shirt making, a "glow to go" hayride and free sumo-wrestling suits (since it was Sumo Wrestling weekend!). We didn't take advantage, but they also had a bike rental where you could get those bikes that you basically sit in to ride around. Next trip, perhaps.
4.) The campsites were clean and everything was very well maintained. I think we might have been one of the louder groups...but what's new! :)

Here are some pictures of our fun weekend! Makes me anxious for Alabama, because the kids LOVED the sun, sand and water! Bring on VACATION!!

Jason loved this thing.

Sand castles.

These toys were fun!

Our little fish!

Jason coaching Kara at her first jump off the top!

Pretty girls!

Sawyer and Em playing in the coup car!

She didn't want her face painted, so got her arm painted in stead.

Sawyer got a tractor.

Glow to go hayride!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
