OUR MINI VACATION TO SALT FORK!!

We set off on our little vacation Weds. morning, 5 kids stuffed in the back with bags,coolers, stuffed animals ( yep, even Sam took 2 of them) ready for fun in the sun with lots of swimming!! Well the first hour and half there was great, I LOVE THE POOL AS MUCH AS THE KIDS DO!!  Then came the thunder, then the RAIN, then loud THUNDER and LOTS OF RAIN!!! The rest of the night was spent in our rooms, thankfully Heather brought games for us and we had snacks! The next day was our full day at Salt Fork and the weather went back and forth with rain/clouds and sun. We did get some swim time over here and there thru the day, more games and Heather and I relaxing on the big comfy couch in one of the many lounge areas. We got up early on Friday and came home, tired and happy and kinda wishing we could stay 2 more days. This is the only place away from home that I LOVE as much as my home, so peaceful and pretty and cozy. I thought I'd share some pictures for you,  wish I had more but happy with what I got.  Oh and there is lots of deer that live there, they are friendly and not afraid of the guests here, check it out!!  The first time we went here was right after Summer turned 1 and was just learning to walk, such a sweet time it was. This time though Summer turned 14 on the day we left,  I kept telling her about that first trip when she was just one. How fast time flies by,  so glad for these memories.
this pool was made for me, just LOVE IT
love all the windows to look out
these rockers are inside those big windows above

Sam and I took an early morning walk

  4. It's good to see you back Dawn. It seems you had a wonderful time. From the pictures it seems to be not crowded. I hate to go to places that are crowded with tourists. Prefer such quiet, scenic spots for vacations
