Well, we are alive and well as we continue to traipse our way across the great state of Kentucky.
We landed in at the lake on Sunday evening after being in the car 45 minutes past the point that all the "car surprises" I had packed lost their luster. I half expected the babies to kiss the ground once we finally arrived. Instead, Jack Jack did his own version and just ate some rocks. Y'all know how he does.
Trying to keep Amelia Kate out of the cornhole game was just plain wasted effort...
Oh, let me tell you, she came down with a major case of puppy love. This is Skippy...whose real name is Lilly, but we continue to lovingly refer to her as Skippy. She belongs to a gentleman who owns the farm where we stayed. He lives in a tiny log cabin that earned its stripes by raising up a family of fifteen. Anyway, AK adored this dog. And I think Skippy adored Amelia even more, if that was possible. It was just about the most precious thing I have ever seen...ever. I almost wanted to bring Skippy home. Almost.
I also ate my weight in s'mores...but that is only because AK would roast a million marshmallows every evening. Of course, each one had been drug through ashes and across smoldering logs. And you had to catch them mid-air, because she would swing her stick with such ferocity that we were either dodging or attempting to capture flaming hot marshmallows as they whizzed through the air. And when I say flaming hot, I mean they were actually still flaming. What a sight, right?! Who wants to go to a campfire with us?? Haha!
Next stop...Chewmomma and Dad-Dad's....
Dear Katie, what a beautiful image of the lake. Lilly looks like a fine dog. She has a wonderful smile. Enjoy your vacation. It isn't summer without a green smocked truck.

Looks like a blast! Next time please video flying, flaming smores, cooked Amelia-style ;) Also, sounds like some little girl may need a Skippy for Christmas.

These posts never fail to crack me up girl! Flaming s'mores??!!! Too funny! I just wish I could see Miss Amelia live in action instead of just in photographs. :)
Sounds like y'all are off to a GREAT start. Can't wait to see & read more!!!
Oh and that might be the cutest monkey suitcase I have ever seen!!
P.S. We love cornhole!

I was hoping that you would have a pic of Skippy's pregnant belly. You should have brought her home and then the babies could have learned all about puppies! She is a cute little rascal. Becky Jo said AK tried to ride her like a pony and Jack shared some of his food with her. They need her. I can swing up there and get her for you if you want. I am sure her owners want you to have her :) And I am throwing all of my marshmallows out before your next visit. Sounds scary!
