Horseshoe Bay Vacation

The Sunday after Lisa and Matt's wedding, we packed up and headed to one of our favorite times of the year!  We were grateful to enjoy a few days at Horseshoe Bay with Craig's family.  This was our fourth year to go and it is such a fun tradition.  It is never long enough and I don't take enough pictures but it is still SO much fun getting together with family that we don't see often enough.
Here is the group (but Allen and Jack had already left).
The first night we celebrated Zach's 8th Birthday
Caleb and Ava
The adults chatting-Allen Pie must be really telling a great story
Ava and Lucy playing-too cute!
The next day we were able to go on the Cowden's boat around Lake LBJ. It was SO much fun and Caleb LOVED it and made some great memories!  Thanks Uncle Allen!!
There was a fun pool right on the lake that half the group swam at while the other played on the boat.  Sadly, this is the ONLY cousin picture--I had great expectations that it would have turned out better.
Exited for the boat ride
Davis' first boat ride
Kristin and Jack--Can't believe this kid is turning 10 this year!! He is SO grown up and turning into quite the little gentleman!
Jack wake boarding for the 3rd time ever! He did awesome! 
Driving F-A-S-T
Jack, Kristin, and Luke tubing
Caleb was a little nervous about tubing, getting in the water, etc-but this is the picture of him really enjoying it, once we encouraged him a little!  Pure Joy!! (Julie has such wonderful memories of her childhood on Lake LBJ and was a little saddened that Caleb was scared and has only enjoyed 2 trips to the lake). Can't wait until next time! 
Getting used to the water and the life jacket holding him up 
Not so bad after all
WAHOO!!! Success!
The happy tuber!
Davis being wind blown
MeDad enjoying the adventure
The driver and his boys enjoying the water
LOVE my boys!!

A little afternoon ice cream snack
Thanks MeDad and Daddy for helping Caleb with the fun puzzle
Aunt Julie and Davis
Really wish I took more pictures-it is tough to take pictures at the pool, plus every time we went to the pool it started to rain.  It rained the two afternoons we had at the pool!  Caleb is still praying for the Eagle Bird pool to not be closed-so we can go swimming.  Funny what he remembers.
Back in Austin, after dropping off Craig at the airport so that he could work a few days.  The boys and I were able to squeeze in one more dinner with this great family before everyone departed their own ways.  We went to a yummy Mexican food restaurant and I LOVE the boys pose with a Longhorn.
Ava and Zach riding the train around the dinner table-Thankfully we had our own room because our circus needed it (okay, maybe just our boys!)
We had a wonderful time! Thanks Mammy and MeDad for a great vacation--the family, the fun, the food, the toys, the memories, and every detail in between.  Thanks for EVERYTHING!! We love y'all!
