Mark Twain Landing

Last weekend the girls and I took a road trip up to Mark Twain Landing for a family vacation/reunion. The road trip itself was very uneventful - all highway and the girls were pretty good for the 2 hour drive.

We got there and the cabin we were at was directly across from the swim park, which of course made the girls lose. their. minds. They love water! We spent the majority of Saturday there.






There was a kiddie pool, kiddie splash area, wave pool, lazy river and lots of slides (although we didn't get on the slides) 



At one point Lexi kept stealing everyone's sunglasses so we went and got the girls a pair of their own.



Kayleigh picked me a 'flower' on the way to the swim park for the second time that day


After swimming, the entire family had a huge BBQ. The girls preferred to play at the playground nearby, though. 



But once they broke out the watermelon they wanted nothing else! (and I love how Kayleigh will just lounge back in any chair she can find!)




A HUGE family of geese came by the pavilion we were at. I wish I could have gotten a picture of all of them, but their was just too many to get in one shot! There were a bunch of little goslings, too! They were so cute!

After the BBQ it was time for everyone to do whatever. The girls ended up running around with all the other kids until around 9:30pm, when I finally was able to wrangle them together and put them to bed. Somehow the three of us managed to share a queen size bed, and Lexi took up the majority of it. I wish I got a picture (my phone died and I forgot the charger. Whomp whomp!) but at some point Kayleigh and I were each on the edge of the bed and Lexi was stretched out between us with her feet in Kay's face.

The next day we had a big family breakfast, then my family headed out to historic Hannibal to explore before the girls and I headed home. Unfortunately most of the shops were closed so we didn't get to see much, but we checked out an antique store (which had an old phone booth!) and saw the pretty, old building!




The girls (and me, too!) were totally exhausted by the time we got home Sunday afternoon. I was glad to be able to sleep in my bed without having a 1 year old all over me.
