Yankton Vacation 2011

I am really behind with posting again! I think that is going to be the story of the summer. We went on our annual Yankton vacation the 3rd week in July. Robb has been going on this vacation for most of his life and we have went pretty much every year since we have been dating except the year that Bryce and Caleb were born. It is a fun vacation with a fun group of people. We go with Robb's parents Bob and Susie and also his brother Andy. This year his sister and her family came also. Then there is the Lund family and Gaines family, as people have added kids and grand kids they have brought them along too. It started out with all 3 families sharing a 3 bedroom cabin and has now evolved to 3 families each needing their own cabin as their kids have grown up and have had grand kids. It is a nice vacation to take because it isn't too far from home and grandma and grandpa are there to help us with the kids.
The kids really enjoy it! They get to swim either at the pool or the beach for most of the week. We also get to ride bikes, have water fights, make smores and stay up too lat
e. This year was the first year that we didn't take our boat with us. If you know Robb you know that he LOVES boating and has had a boat since he was 17. Unfortunately we found out this year that the engine block of our boat was broke and it wasn't worth fixing. So needless to say Robb was pretty bummed about the boat situation but John Lund had a boat so he still thought he would get to do lots of wakeboarding. But as it goes with boats, Johns boat was broke most of vacation so we ended up just renting a boat a couple times so that Robb and John weren't completely devastated.
I think this is the hottest I ever remember the Yankton vacation being. Usually it is nice but the mornings and nights are cool and it is never really really hot during the day, but this year was different. It was 100 most days we were there. We went through lots of water and sunscreen! It was good that it was pretty warm though because due to the massive amounts of water they are letting out of Gavins Point Dam this year the water was really cold even on 100 degree days.
We had a lot of fun and it was fun spending it with family and friends!
