Camping in the Sun

One of Jeff's favorite memories growing up is the Melvard family vacations to Sun Lakes. Since we started dating, Jeff talked about taking me to this special place. This summer, with Lily to share in the tradition and memories, he insisted we go. We took advantage of Jeff's parents being in town for a few weeks and headed east for a long weekend. It was the first time I filled my memory card...so there are lots of pictures to remember our fun time there. The whole trip was filled with stories about the infamous Melvard vacations and it was fun for Lily and I to get to experience a few of the traditions, too.
While Jeff and Scott went golfing, Karin, Lily and I met up with them to walk the course.



Jeff's family used to pack up coolers and beach supplies and spend the day at Summer Falls. We did the same and enjoyed lounging by the water, fishing, and hiking around the falls.




There was plenty of time to relax and hang out around camp. We went for walks, played in the water, played games and just enjoyed time together.
Lily enjoyed Grandma Kay's cooking tools.
Lily wasn't sure what she thought of the water, but Jeff loved sharing his special places with her.

All tuckered out!

This was Lily's first time in a motor home. It was my first time, too!
Notice the horses in the background.

Lily and Papa had lots of fun playing together. Papa was particularly impressed when Lily had an explosive diaper and got poop all over Jeff.
Looking forward to doing it all over again next summer!
