Deer Creak Resort

I'm exhausted. We had such a fun weekend at Deer Creak with Jon's family. I think we'll definitely be making another trip back there. We spent all day Saturday hopping between a speed boat skiing and tubing and a pontoon boat lounging and tubing. Although Madeline was very excited at the idea of being a boat...

It took a good hour of screaming and realizing that we were not getting off anytime soon before she starting having a good time.The kids all enjoyed tubing. Here's Harris and then Lily and Tre.


I got in the tube with Madeline on three separate occasions, but we were never able to actually take off. Maybe when we head to Michigan City she'll get the courage to go!

Liz and Charlie (and that is Jon with Paul Jr. on the tube in the background!).

Holland and Madeline enjoying a snack on the boat.

We had dinner in the lodge where we stayed and right outside the window was a family of deer. No wonder this place is called Deer Creak. The kids all really enjoyed watching the adult and baby deer sharing dinner time with us.

Brave Weekend

Madeline had a brave weekend venturing out on some activities. She rode the big pony for the first time and loved it.


And she FINALLY got in the pool. I fear now we will never get her out without a fight. She loved it and even went off the diving board. Here's to a great summer now that she will finally get in!
