FLASHBACK: Swallowfork

Last year during the Thanksgiving break we took an overnight trip to Lake Tiak O' Khata. We enjoyed staying in a cabin, walking a nature trail and making a nature collage, and just plain being together. Well, this year we embarked on the same adventure but with a different location. And, I must say we had the most fabulous time!

We found ourselves at a cabin named Swallowfork.

The cabin was outfitted with all the necessities plus bunkbeds!



We sure enjoyed our time together!


Lots of fun was had by getting to swing from a gigantic oak tree,



and fish with worms! (of whom Ann Elise was serious about trying to save!)


Kris and Wes were the brave ones and took a little row in the boat :)


We are quite sure this little fishy told all the others we were out to get them for he was the only fish we caught the whole getaway!


Bankston Hays was not too interested in the concept of fishing. Which was fine with me because it was a tad stressful making sure he did not fall in! He found many other ways to entertain himself. By the looks of this picture I think he succeeded in a might cute way!


I am all about making traditions with our family. I sure hope this one sticks around!
