A visit to the lake

This past weekend we went with friends to their house at the lake, and had a blast!  Port Clinton is such a nice area and the kids had friends to keep them occupied and the adults got to enjoy good company.  Couldn't have asked for a better weekend!



We took a boat ride out on the lake, caught some perch, almost lost Mike in the water and let Dawson fall asleep on me.


Carter boy loved the fish finder.


Dawson cuddled his Mommy and then fell asleep.  He was so scared when the boat took off and was yelling at the captain "BE CAREFUL!"


Then we went to the African Safari Park and the kids got to feed the animals from our car.  There were deer, giraffee, bison, camels and alpacas.  I have to say, it did a number on our car.  We had buffalo slobber all over the place!


It took awhile for the kids to warm up to the idea of animals sticking their head into our car.  Dawson and Ava hid behind me for awhile panicking at these big creatures.  


Thumbs up Alpaca


There is also a walk-through area to look at more animals.  There are white alligator, capybaras, lemurs and so much more!


Crazy Ava!


The kids also got to take their first camel ride.  Look it is Ava!


And Carter!


I was absolutely shocked that baby Doc got on the camel by himself, but he loved it!  He looks so tiny on this big animal, but he just wanted to pet it over and over again. 

In addition to all this fun stuff we went on golf cart rides, spent a chilly day at the beach digging in the sand and topped the night off with s'mores at the campfire.  It felt like we were back on vacation again!  A great way to end the summer, and now back to school.
