Gulf Hammock Getaway

We headed over to Gulf Hammock to camp at Gus's Mom's place for a few days. After we unloaded our stuff, we headed up to Chiefland to eat lunch at a local favorite - Barbeque Bill's. It was delicious!! Then we traveled west to Cedar Key. We found a really nice playground that the kids enjoyed playing on even though it was burning up. After Gus and I had enough of that, we followed the signs around the island to the Cedar Key Museum. It was really tiny and not too interesting, but it was something to do. The funniest part was when I explained to Meagan that we were going there to learn and she responded "But I don't WANNA learn!!!"

After all that learning and sweating, we headed back to camp to get down to some riding and relaxing. The kids loved taking rides on the four-wheelers and Jeep.

Avery and I had a couple of good games of Uno - a family favorite!

Katrina was ecstatic that Hunter finally started saying "Mimi" this weekend!

You know we enjoyed some yummy meat off the charcoal grill compliments of the master chef!

The kids all had fun playing with the rod & reel we brought over. Meagan actually was pretty good at it.

Another fun game Gus and Avery learned this weekend was Dominoes. Gus got pretty hooked and stayed up late playing each night. Of course, Hunter liked them, too!

On Friday afternoon, Gus's Uncle Damon and Aunt Ruth came over. Ruth surprised us with this beautiful (and delicious) cake from Fresh Market to celebrate Gus and Hunter's upcoming birthdays.

Sweet Aunt Ruth (as the kids refer to her) also bought Hunter his very own Spiderman 4-wheeler! He was super excited to be a big boy like Daddy!

Gus and I came home Saturday afternoon to get ready and go to a National Wild Turkey Federation banquet over in The Villages. Not exactly my idea of a good time, but it was nice to spend some time together (kid less). We also woke up this morning and went out to breakfast and picked up some groceries at Publix. Katrina brought the kids home around 2 and we've just been hanging out here enjoying our last day together. Gus decided this has been one of the best vacations we've ever had and I have to agree!
