Chain-O-Lakes 2011

We headed up to Chain-O-Lakes, now called Artesian Lakes, this weekend for some family fun. I have so many wonderful memories of this place that getting to go as an adult and watch Peyton play is very special to me.

Peyton loves Ryan!!

Raegan and Avery

Raegan was a great baby sitter all weekend! Everytime I turned around she was helping me with something! Such a good helper!!

The girls helping me feed P

Ali the Alligator
This is what happens when you try to lure the alligators on shore with a trail of bread....

Raegan and Avery in her boots

Horseback riding all by herself

She wasn't afraid at all!

She needed a quick sip before heading out.

Headed out on a ride

All the riders

This is how P spent the time while the others were out riding.

After riding we headed up to the pool/ swim lake to cool off

Peyton was a natural and LOVED the water.

Christine and Raegan on the slide

Nana went down the slide too but ended up chipping a bone in her hand and now has to wear a splint and go to physical therapy!

Just hanging in the lake

Kaitlyn got to come up too and swim and play with the girls!

She wouldn't be Ryan daughter if she wasn't wearing a big T-shirt!!!

By Sunday we were all pretty tired and ended up just hanging around the cabin!

Such a fun and relaxing weekend! I can't wait for Chain-O 2012!!
