About a month ago, we took a trip to Broken Bow for the weekend, and stayed in a big cabin with several of our neighborhood friends!! 23 people in all, 13 of them being kids, ages 20 months to 8 years! You'd think it would have been crazy town, but it was actually a really fun, mellow weekend! Each family cooked 1 meal, so that was made pretty easy. And the kids all got along amazingly well, spent most of their time poking around outside, and we lucked out with the most gorgeous weather! Here are some pictures from out weekend.
Just getting there and checking the whole place out. Please note that Cole has already found the remote, and is attempting to control what the girls watch.

Loving all the big kids!
Time for some water fun outside!
After some time out in the heat, it was time to rest. We put on a movie, and everyone chilled out for a while!
After a nice rest, we headed out to do a duck tour on the lake! The kids were excited about this!

And we're in.... Cole definitely looks confused about this!
Lots of fun!
Here are some videos, too. :)
And here is where my pictures get a little mixed up. I did so much saving of other's pictures, so they're out of order and I'm not shuffling them around.... so enjoy some duplicates and some other pictures!

So much fun with such great families, and sweet kids!! We may have to make this an annual trip!
Oh, Laney, this is just wonderful! What fun and what memories. Watching the kids play with Cole brought back memories of how your Mom was my play toy for so long. Then I grew boobs and she was a nuisance! I do love your blog about all the kids events. You are a really great mom.... And Eric is an exceptional dad.
