We got back from Lake Conroe yesterday evening. It was SO nice to only have a 30 minute drive home!! That's my kind of a vacation!!
I will have to say this was probably one of our easiest vacations. Not sure if it's because the boys are older or because we didn't have long to drive. It just wasn't stressful!! It was so nice to not have to pack an unpack 50 million times, worry about seeing all family and friends, and luggin my kids all over the place hoping they get naps in and aren't crabby!!
We spent the days boating, eating (way too much!) and playing in the pool. I was so glad that they had a kiddie pool because it made my life so much easier!
Here's Blake driving the boat...
And here's Andrew. He didn't care to drive the boat. He just wanted to honk the horn!
The boys would just sit and enjoy the ride. Blake would usually fall asleep. It was nice!! This pic B is messing with the radio. We just ate so his belly was full and he was ready to party!

We just ate so his belly was full and he was ready to party!Andrew went fishing in the evenings with Daddy! The first fish he caught he got so excited and scared that he nearly threw his rod in the lake. It was funny! Daddy was brave and took Andrew out fishing on his boat. Andrew had a BLAST! Guess they've found a new hobby!!
It was pretty cool because they have places you can dock and go shopping or eat. Places like... Starbucks, Double Dave's Pizza, McDonald's and others. For Andrew's birthday two of his little friends came and we rode on the boat to McDonald's. The kids were so excited!!!
Here's where you dock to go to McDonald's. Can you see the arches??
Family shot without the birthday boy. He was too busy looking for McDonald's!
That evening Ann and Ron came over and we boated over to Eldorado Jack's for some wings and burgers. 
Then we came back and celebrated some MORE!...
Andrew had a VERY busy day that day! He had a blast and got way too many presents!!!
So, that's how our days were spent! We had a really nice time and enjoyed seeing my parents. We hated to see them leave today. The boys will miss all the attention and I will miss them entertaining my boys!!!
Here are some random pics...
The lake is 21 miles long...I think. There was a lot to see and do!
I thought my parents had a nice boat...then I saw this!! There were some HUGE boats out there.

dude - sounds like alot of fun!! did y'all have your own room in the condo?
it was a 2 bedroom condo so m&d had a room and then we shared one w/ the boys. they gave us the master bedroom. but it worked out that andrew would nap in m&d's room and at night we'd put him in there too and move him when we'd go to bed. he could have gone in our room w/ b but andrew talks to himself and sings and all when he goes to bed that i didn't want him waking b up.
loved the pics!! i think i may need to blog something about the summer before it's gone. :)
we took a vacation to lake conroe when ethan was 3 months old and emily was not yet 2. we saw a lot of tourist advertising for space center houston, kemah - all stuff we've done to death! you're right though - it's the perfect place to go to feel like you've been gone. it takes you less time to get there though. :)
sweet.
did that life jacket drive B crazy? j did okay with his but it was funny watching him not be able to move his neck much. looked like a sardine or something!! haha
That looks like a fun vacation. B driving the boat is priceless.
michelle, i need to email you b/c we are planning a trip to galveston w/ some friends. maybe you can give me some tips on a good place to stay?
jill l, the jacket didn't bother b at all. of all the jackets we've had those fit the best. neither of the boys complained.
we've only stayed in time shares - the one we like the best is escapes. i think they rent out too. it's way down from the seawall.
