The Erickson 5 has spent the past 7 days up at Arcadia Lodge. It is so nice to get "away" for a little vacation once in awhile and just relax. We went with some of our favorite friends The Little Family! We had the perfect set up with a four bedroom cabin and everyone had their own bed or at least their own space to sleep.
We did not have the best cabin weather for the week but it was sure fun and the kids and adults alike sure enjoyed our time away.
We played a whole lot of games, whether it be kick ball, cards, board games, Wii Games or just word games it was fun. The women took on the men in quite a few card games and I do have to say that the women RULED the games. (Sorry Jon and Steve)
We managed to get some good fishing in and I think KJ has turned into a pro. He always managed to catch the most fish and he became a pro at casting out his line. I do claim the award for the biggest sunny though! The girls were really into fishing too. It was so nice as they even got good at baiting the hook (with some assistance and Ella loved to take the fish off (again with some assistance).
We managed to go on some canoe rides, kayak rides, lots of boat rides, we squeezed in some tubing and water skiing and jumping on the water tramps, and diving dock.
We had great meals thanks to Salsa Lisa for her creative ideas, Jon for his magical grilling and Steve-o for his awesome Pad Thai! I managed to help out too. We were lucky that we did not even have to leave the resort all week. That truly means vacation. We even had some food to come home with.
It was truly a week to remember and it is so fun to get away with the kids and watch them enjoy the lake and each other. All week I kept thinking that they were making good memories just as I did as a kid at the lake when I was young.
God was good to us all week too. He even helped us to find our missing kick ball when we headed out fishing one day. It was stuck in some trees in the water on a different part of the lake. We all smiled that we were able to get it back. So fun.
Below is some pics from the week.
