Shakamak

Shakamak Family Trip

Chad, Morgan, Mallory, Molly Uncle Joseph, Elizabeth, and Dad

Every summer, five years running, my family takes a little vacation to Shakamak State Park! We stay in a small log cabin with no air conditioning and no TV. During the day, we swim in the pool to stay cool and then play games and listen to music all night! It is a blast!! We play games from cornhole to dominos to Euchre to closest to the pin in golf. We stay up all hours, sometimes not going asleep at all just playing family games. After each game, everyone gets a rank from 1 to 7 in the order they finished (1 always being the best!) At the end of the trip, the person with the lowest trip wins the horse head...this foam colts horse helmet weird lookin thing....but it is very coveted! Last year, Chad and I tied for first and this year my stepmom Elizabeth won! (As soon as I find the picture of Chad and this hat, I will post it because its soo cute!) Chad automatically finished last this year since he could not get off work this year to join us - we missed him very much!! Thank you to Elizabeth and DOAD - dad of all dad's - as we call him for five years of family fun!!! We have created so many wonderful family memories at Shakamak and can't wait until next year.
