At the end of June, the Yandek Family made it's annual trek to southern Ohio for a week-long vacation at Salt Fork State Park. This year marked Libby's third trip to the park, while for Mary, this was her first. And, although Libby had been there before, this was the first year where she really got to enjoy everything about this annual family vacation.
First and foremost, Libby loved the daily trips to the pool. This year, she was able to swim on her own with the help of a very cool swim vest. Add to that the fact that she and Dad have spent a lot of time at the pool at the rec, and Libby was pretty much at home in the water. Mary had a great time, as well. She loved tooling around the pool with Mom, Dad, Grammie and Papa. She also had her own floating car which gave her a little independence of her own.
Libby and Mary also enjoyed trips to the nearby marina, where they were able to feed the large, obnoxious carp. These giant fish hang around the docks and swarm near anyone who comes by. Once they realize that you have food, they stick their heads out of the water and beg for more. After feeding the fish, Libby and Mary would be treated to an ice cream cone. For Libby, this was a familiar and welcome treat. For Mary, it was a whole new world. Her first ice cream cone elicited the following reaction:
She absolutely devoured any ice cream or cone that was put in front of her. She definitely takes after her dad in her love of ice cream! Another exciting adventure for Libby was her first go-round with fishing. She and Papa spent a lot of time fishing together either on the docks or behind Papa's "vacation house." On one evening, Libby and Papa caught quite a few fish! Unlike her dad, Libby had no qualms petting the fish or throwing them back in the water.
The other new experience for Libby was horseback riding! Libby got to ride her very own horse--Scout--around the stables for a good 15-20 minutes. She was very serious during the whole experience, but she did manage to crack a smile at one point. She absolutely loved seeing all the different horses and being able to ride a real horse. Libby also had a great time seeing all the deer, going for walks, chasing geese, drawing with sidewalk chalk, blowing bubbles with Grammie and Papa and hanging out with Uncle Tony, Aunt Nellie and Aunt Holly. Actually, Libby pretty much followed Aunt Nellie around the entire time she was there. Might this be an omen of things to come for the big wedding in August?
