The Bragg Family: Fun in the Sun!

We just got back a few days ago from vacation at the lake. We went to The Land Between the Lakes - Kentucky Lake. My family does this once a year and we always have a great time. There are 14 of us and we rent a cabin and all of us stay together (9 adults and 5 kids). We played games, corn hole and softball. We also went to a water park (the first time we have done that) and it was wonderful. It had a huge play area for younger kids that was in about maybe a foot of water. They had small water slides and sprinklers, Addie loved this area. She was very brave (brave for Addie). We also rented a boat and headed out on the lake for some tubing and swimming. Addie actually got in a tube with Jason but quickly decided that being on the boat was much better than being off and in the water. We had wonderful weather, no rain, just plenty of sun. We had a great time and it was wonderful being able to spend it with family. It was so nice to have Jason around for an entire week. Here are a few pictures of our vacation. What fun!

Addie is hanging out with 2 of her cousins, they are taking a break from all the activities.

Playing at the playground. I don't think we can go anywhere without a stop to the playground. Addie tells us now that she wants to go and actually says "playground mommy". To funny, she thinks she has it all figured out!

The swimming pool was a big hit. She does not get to go to a real pool very often - so she was really excited about it. We have a baby pool in out backyard but it is just not the same.

Yes, that is an Elmo bathing suite and she is holding an Elmo pool toy. What can I say, she loves Elmo. :-)

Addie decided to take a break and have a snack. She then felt the need to feed her crackers to everyone in the baby pool (I am glad it was just our family!).

On the other side of the fence is the lake. If you look closely you can see a lot of pretty boats. This was the view from the swimming pool.

Addie is her life-jacket (which she hated) and don't you just love that hat! We were getting ready to head out onto the water. She was so excited about all the water, she just held onto the rail as we were driving around trying to see everything. She is too cute!

This is a picture of my brother Joey and Addie, he let her drive the boat. She loved it! She thought she was big stuff.

Down by the lake they have what I like to call a fake beach! They just put some sand on the edge of the water and call it a beach. This year we thought Addie might like it so we were off to the 'beach'. We were wrong, Addie did not like it at all. She kept telling us her feet were dirty (she does not like to be dirty!). This picture was literally as far as it got. She did not even put her toe in it. Jason turned around and walked right back out - we ended up at the pool! :-)
