For Spring Break this year we rented a cabin at Cumberland State Park, Kentucky.
We had a wonderful four day, three night stay with the Holts.
Austin turned 14 the first day we were there so he picked Ruby Tuesday's for dinner.
He was a good sport as we sang happy birthday,
1/2
and "helped" him eat his birthday cookies and cream pie.
We did give him a birthday card, but Veronica had to help him decipher the handwriting (more particularly, my handwriting).
Merinda just "chillin" with her body pillow.
Brittney in the queen bed.
Christina and Merinda sharing the cool bunk beds.
A little "friend" Veronica found in her window seal.
Relaxing in the hot tub with Brittney.
1/3
Playing some serious table hockey.
We all could of gone to bed earlier than we did,
but it was vacation, so it was important that we torture ourselves.
The highlight of our trip was the visit to Cumberland Falls.

The park also had the perfect area for playing Ultimate Frisbee.

Christina and Austin going head to head.
1/2
Brad definitely has the height advantage over Austin.
1/3
Austin has the speed,
but Rex will always be the consummate competitor.

Brittney too has a little competitiveness in her.
No vacation would be complete without a proper manicure...compliments of Brittney.
1/4
The ladies all cool with their fancy nails...
1/3
Brittney not approving of Merinda's choice of poses.
The last night was the perfect ending to a perfect Spring Break! The guys bonded while watching the Priesthood Session of General Conference, and us girls bonded over personality tests and painted nails!
