Smith Mountain Lake

Well we just got back from Vacation 1.0 and have a week off before heading out on our super adventure to Colorado.  First stop on last week's trip was Smith Mountain Lake.  This place was just gorgeous!  The boys and I went with my mom and stepdad and my stepbrothers Tim and Justin.  My mom found an awesome house right on the lake (well, 85 grueling steps down to the lake :) ) and we posted up for most of the week.

Dave's first catch!

Ike was a little unsure of the fish situation.

Dave flying off of the swing!  Here's a video of him in action.

Ike loved jumping from the dock.  He made us all yell, "1,2,3, pee cannonball!" every time he jumped.  He is so weird.

On Tuesday we went to check out Appomattox Court House, which was about an hour away from us.  We all learned lots of cool info and the boys seemed to sort of enjoy themselves!

This was the room where the Civil War was officially ended.

Dave and Ike in jail.

View from the dock-so peaceful!!

We had such a fun, relaxing time with everybody and really enjoyed the lake.  We left on Thursday morning to head over to Townsend for part two of our vacation!
