Mother's Day weekend @ Santee Lakes

SANTEE LAKES OR BUST!

Friday afternoon we headed to San Diego for a weekend of Mother's Day fun.

We loaded into the motorhome, (all but Rick :( he went to prom with his friend Saturday night.) and headed to Santee Lakes.

Can you tell someone was excited to go in the motorhome?

Maybe two girls were excited to go in the motorhome?

Oops, busted. Someone has not signed the no phone zone bill of Oprahs.

We arrived and unloaded the bikes.

Amy had this special spot for her bike only.

Hannah as soon as we got the toys out she was full of dirt.

The stream runs through the campground.

We were backed up to this part of the stream.

Amy loved the stream, I couldn't keep her away from it.

Amy sticking her toes in that stream.

After we got settled in we went on the first of many bike rides.

This is one of 7 lakes.

Daddy I want that one.

It was very green and pollen was in the air!!

You can take the man out of Norco but you can't take the redneck out of him!

Daddy made a redneck swing for the girls.

We ate dinner outside.

Family picture minus rick :(

We took another bike ride after dinner. They have 6 different playgrounds.

Daddy even played on the survivor playground.

We played at all the parks.

(except we never made it to the water park. It was a bit far for Amy to ride.)

Pretty scenery.

We saw cranes running.

We rented a paddle boat for an hour.

The flowers were so pretty.

Ice cream break after the paddle boats.

Then we rode back to the motorhome and the girls got into their suits

and we walking to the pool.

The pool was not heated but the girls didn't mind swimming.

Just hanging. This is prior to taking a dive and daddy having to rescue her. She didn't even mind that she was completely under the water.

After the rescue.

We came back and had lunch, Hannah relaxing.

Monkey girl aka Amy climbed the rope.

We relaxed.

The tooth she has been working on for weeks finally came out.

This is just before she pulled it out.

Toothless wonder!

While daddy and Amy were fishing, Hannah was chasing the duckies.

Night fishing.

Amy caught her first catfish. We had a total of 3, but they were all pretty small so Kent put them back.

Tooth fairy came!

Mother's day morning.

Hannah rode on the back of my bike. ( Yes, Tawnya, Danielle and my mom, she is wearing a helmet this time!)

We fed the ducks.

The girls loved the ducks.

We enjoyed the view.

We fed the momma duck and her babies.

Hannah LOVES the slides.

Amy is part monkey, this kid can sure hang on the monkey bars.

Hannah was exhausted from the fun times we had.

Amy watching a movie and eating her lunch on the way home. (yes, she is drinking a diet pepsi!)

Happy Mothers Day!
