Annual Family PK Lake Trip 2009

Every year we pack in the "Honey" a.k.a the 1985 family RV...chugga lugga lug...and we make the trip down to Possum Kingdom Lake for some fun in the sun with family and friends. This year was a little bit different. We stayed at the Fox Hollow Resorts instead. Their definition and my definition of resort is a lot different, but it was an air-conditioned place to rest our heads at night and to shower! They also had a great little restaurant too that we ate supper at on Friday night and breakfast on Sunday before heading home! Our cabin was the last cabin on the right in the picture.

My Aunt has a boat at The Breakers so we spend most of the day hanging out on the dock and swimming, and grazing on all the snacks and munchies we could ever want. The dock was a little too nerve-wracking for me because Jolea is just "too busy" and I was a wreck that she was going to fall right off the edge and into the water. I made her wear her life jacket all day long and she wasn't too thrilled with that idea. She loves the water and as long as it wasn't nap time, I think she was having fun. My parents have some long time friends that joined us this year and they have a precious little 5 year old...her name is McKenna. Jolea and McKenna loved sitting in the tube and being pulled by the jet-ski...it was so cute to hear Jolea's sweet little giggle every time they took off.

Andy and my Dad decided to dive...just for fun...I don't think they could see much around the dock, but later that day when we went over to Hell's Gate they had much better visibility. We asked them to bring us a sunken treasure when they came back to the boat, but they were empty handed. Those boys love to dive, and I guess the practice is good for them too.

During the day when I got tired of chasing Jolea around I tied the tube up to the dock and just let her "have-at-it" It was really deep so she couldn't get out even if she wanted too. They had a better time doing that, than just about anything else! Silly Girls!

Here are a few more pictures from the weekend. By the time Sunday morning rolled around, we were sunburned and ready to get home to sleep in our own beds and shower in our own shower. Lake weekends always wear me out.

This is James, Bren, Debbie and Grammy chilling on the dock :)

Too bad they didn't find any treasures...I know my mom has a diamond necklace down there and my dad has a pair of RayBan sunglasses! PK is the BEST! Oh and Fox Hollow....yummy catfish!
