Family Road Trip

For our summer vacation we took a road trip to Arkansas, where good friends of ours invited us to spend a week at Beaver Lake.  We left Austin on Saturday morning and stopped in Oklahoma for one night to visit Nanny.  Sunday morning we drove to Arkansas -- we stopped in Bentonville to load up with groceries for the week and then drove to Beaver Lake (total drive time ~9 hours).  We spent four nights at Beaver Lake and we all had a blast.

Most of our time was spent on the boat.  Jack's favorite spot was the front of the boat, which he didn't like to share.

We also enjoyed swimming in the lake.  Beaver Lake has beautiful water and the temp was perfect for swimming.

Ainsley LOVED tubing, she couldn't get enough of it.  She is the one on the right in the pic below:

Ainsley also learned to ski!

We had an amazing time.  Good friends, quality family time, fun, laughs, and memories.  A great way to spend the 4th of July!!
