5th Annual Cousin Vacation!!

Last week I was off work...and I experienced the "Cousin Vacation" for the very first time.  Every year my Mom & Nana take their grand kids, (which is my cousins kiddos) on some sort of vacation.  Typically, us older peeps aren't really invited...but this year we were.  Whoa...

The plan...
*go to Dayton Monday...be there by 3pm
*pick up Ty from Momma Mia's house
*leave Tuesday by 11am to eat lunch (very important)
*arrive at Yogi Bear Park....
Then...Let the fun begin!

The realization...
*went to Dayton...left at 3:45..arrived at 7:00pm
*mom picked Ty up since I was a year late
*left Tuesday at 11:30 am, had lunch (very important)
*sat in Houston traffic on a random Tuesday...in the middle of the day...
*delivered a gun to my Uncle Donnie...(Long story)
*Arrived at Yogi Bear Park, Waller, Tx at 2:15....couldn't get in cabin until 3!

So...that's right...I went camping on my vacation...but it was totally worth it!

Yogi Bear Park is a kids bff.  There are bike trails through the woods, a huge water slide, pools, put-put golf, a craft cabin, karaoke at night, dance competitions, movies played at an outdoor theater...just plain ole cool stuff.

...Unless its 110 degrees outside!  The kids didn't mind the weather...but us grumpy adults did!!  There is only ONE RULE on cousin vacations... DON'T COMPLAIN.    I did my best....and really think I did a great job, considering my current state.  Guess we'll see how well of a job I did...if I'm invited again!  :) 

Here are a few pics I wanted to share with yall!

That was the loft where they slept.  They almost look like jail birds...lol :)
