Are We There Yet?

"Are we there yet?" has been a question asked hundreds of times in the Lehman van. Who says that question? Do you? I know I do. Luckily, Calvin is a very patient little boy, and while he was driving with Dad, Mom, David, and I to our vacation spot, I don't think he asked that question once. Well, we finally reached our destination, Kentucky Lake!

All of the family except for Jo and Seth excitedly got out of the van and J&M's mini van and started exploring the house/unpacking. Kim and I got a small room with a small closet, some space to put suitcases, etc., and a bunk bed with a small bed on top and a what some people would call a small bed on the bottom, but Kim and I, plus Calvin at the beginning of the night, had enough room to sleep comfortably. We arrived to the Bayside Bungalow on Monday around 2-3 o'clock. Mom and Dad watched Calvin while the rest of us kids went out on the boat.

Well, the rest of vacation went like that. Just family (counting the boat. It became a part of our family.) and the water. Oh, don't forget skies, tubes, a wakeboard, towels (dry and wet), food, drinks, a cooler, the ski tower, glasses/sun glasses, life jackets......you get the picture. All of us had a wonderful time. If you ever go to Kentucky Lake, stay in Gilbertsville, and love putt-putt, there was this wonderful putt-putt place called Maggie's Jungle Putt-Putt. It is kept very well and there are many challenging courses.

We arrived home on Saturday. We went to church on Sunday and I moved grades/teachers/rooms.

On Monday I went to Greg and Heidi Schneider's lake house with a couple of other girls. It was a lot of fun and I was so sore afterword.

On Tuesday it was July 4th and I went to the Wolcott parade and later to Lowell and Carla's house for ice-cream and to watch fireworks.  

On Wednesday, I went to Tropicana Cove with the Reinhard kids (except for Titus). Cameron (from church) also came along. I went down the Banana Slide for the first time and eventually went spinning down and went down backwards. It was lots of fun and I was sore again from that.

Finally it was time for our........................................Kentucky Lake Vacation!!! I was so excited! We reached there Monday and tubed right away. Tuesday we were out on the lake. Wednesday we were out on the lake. Thursday we were out on the lake. Friday we were out on the lake. Saturday we were out on the way home.☹ It was so much fun but I missed Adrienne and Seth so much I could die.

On Monday I started going to Fountain Park Chautauqua and I have gone every single day for at least an hour. Thursday I was in the talent show and played the main song from the movie Peanuts (Charlie Brown). Today I went to Chalmers water park with Marie Blume, Lyzzy Bahler, and Olivia and Evelynn Ross for Marie's birthday.

The rest of the days that I didn't talk about were the days I don't remember what I did because I did so much in those days.

Now I'm going to go upstairs because it is 10:02 p.m. Good night!!
