More Culver Fun!

We just love Culver.
We had such a great time there and great company too!
Some of the pics are far away but click on them to see up close! Jeff and Jack the first time on the boat since our last visit.
This time he didn't cry!

Nice picture!
Annabelle is not in the mood for a picture!

Jack loved looking over the side of the boat when it was going fast.

We went to the beach on a beautiful sunny day.
Can you guess what I did during out time at the beach?
Jack wanted to be at the other end of the beach every time I let him go!
Annabelle, Shane and Danny had so much fun in the sand.
They have great imaginations!
Jack contemplated walking into the water...
And then..

some ducks came by and he was in to the water very fast.
He liked them a lot and was sad when they left.
Then he went to destroy Annabelle's creations!
Later he played with Dad on the shore, filling buckets of water and dumping them out.Even later Jack put on his life jacket and headed into the water to have some splash fun.

Annabelle protecting her work!
Annabelle getting soaked.
Even more soaked!
Jack getting very wet, and not enjoying it at all! Playing in the water.
Annabelle, Mom and Jack going out on the wave runner.
On our return Carrie met us to help us dock.
Jack, after eating way too much mac n' cheese.
After dinner he enjoyed some yummy ice cream at the local root beer stand.
Annabelle was pensive about her Oreo shake.
Annabelle in a tree we have taken pictures in for the past three years.
Later the kids chilled in the back of the car.
They were not allowed in the front till they finished there ice cream.
The next day there was lots of tubing.
In this picture Annabelle, Jeff and Shane.
They were being thrown out side the wake.
Mean while Jack spent some time with his new girlfriend Erin.
In the afternoon I went tubing with Annabelle and Shane.
Crazy stuff!
We stopped at the marina for lunch and Jack put my sun glasses on.
Too cute!
Jack couldn't get enough of sprite.
It wasn't open...but he enjoyed it like it was!
Danny and Annabelle making some big jumps.
Jack discovered a hole in the middle of the table and thought he would try to steal some chips.
Sadly he couldn't find them!!!
The kids got some mini beanie babies from McDonald's and treated them like real babies.
Taking them for a walk in Jack's stroller.

Making funny faces!Building houses for their new beanie babies out of the happy meal boxes.

taking a break to eat some cereal.
I think they ate cereal every other hour for two weeks.
Jack ready for the wave runner.
Waiting for every one else to be ready, decides to buckle himself into his booster seat.
Then he puts on Shane's gym shoes and wonders...what is keeping everyone?
Shane, me, Jack and Annabelle tubing.
We were going so slow that Shane and Annabelle decided to do some tricks!
If you click on this picture, you will see the smile on Jack's face!
Swimming in the lake.
Jack liked to pull the tube to the boat.
Jack did not like getting in the water!
Jeff and Jack watching Mom and Annabelle get whipped around the lake. Crazy tubeing!

Me and Jack on the wave runner.Great pose by the boat.

Jack and I were on another wave runner next to the tube and were able to get some great pictures!
Lunch at the marina. Again!
Annabelle debated...should I share??

Not happy because I will not let her take her life jacket off.

It is so good, I will share with my Dad. Annabelle, Jeff and Jack getting ready to go for a spin on the wave runner.
Shane and Annabelle looking cute after eating too many m&ms.
Acting silly on the way to the root beer stand!The kids liked to sit and wave at all the cars passing.
They got lots of waves from passing cars.Annabelle inhailing her oreo shake.Jeff and Jack enjoying ice cream cones together. Later we took our 3rd annual picture in the tangled tree.
I am not sure the tree will be there next year.
It was looking very weak when the kids sat on it.

Later on our last night we played our new favorite game.
Skip Bo.
Before bed jack enjoyed being crushed like a grape by Dad!
He laughed so hard everytime Dad sat back on him.
Our vacation is over.. we are so sad!
Can you tell by this picture!
We stopped on the way home at mcDonalds and Jack posed with his smile!

We had so much fun in Culver.
We can't wait to enjoy our 4th annual trip to Culver.
Thanks to Uncle Rich and Aunt Carrie for putting up with the early wake up calls from Jack!
