17 Jun 2009 What I did with my summer vacation

Lyndsay and I just got back from our summer family vacations. I posted pictures in the pictures section, but I thought I’d show off a couple here too:

This is where we stayed

We first went to Sedan, Kansas with Lyndsay’s parents and stayed at a place known as “the shed.” (pictured above) The Shed was great because we could totally unplug from the rest of the world and relax. Of course, Lyndsay’s family relaxes by doing things, so we rode four wheelers, fished, shot guns, cooked, and occasionally rode into town to see what was going on. This was my first time in Kansas, so I also got to meet Lyndsay’s Uncle Steve, who I had never met before. He’s quite the fisherman–he gave me a few tips and after a few minutes I caught a 2 pound bass!

It was fun to take pictures because I could get a lot of outdoor pictures. Here are a couple other pictures that I took.

Peru, KS

Came in for a close up, turtle was camera shy.

Then we went to Fort Walton Beach, FL for a family reunion with some extended family on my mom’s side of the family. We haven’t seen them in years, so it was good to get to spend time and catch up. Opposite of Lyndsay’s family, my family relaxes by doing nothing. So that’s a lot of what we did.

I got to take some pictures with my dad’s fancy schmancy DSLR, so I got some really great pictures during the trip.

Hunting for Crabs

At sundown, we went hunting for crabs. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be–they’re pretty fast little guys. But we did catch one.

Here’s Lyndsay with my Cousin Anne, my mother (also named Anne), my sister Laura, and Uncle Ed.

My grandmother and her friend Richard got to come too, which was fun. Here’s a picture of my grandmother and Lyndsay with my Cousin Sharon and her baby Isabelle.

So…that’s what I did with my summer vacation!
