Lake Hartwell

Last week we took Mason to Lake Hartwell! He is the 3rd generation to enjoy the Holmes' place. My parents visited in their early marriage days, I grew up going there in the summer and now it was Mason's turn!

It was Mom, Dad, Brian, Me, Mason, Andy, Uncle Allen, Aunt Ora Lee, Uncle Keith (aka Uncle Bubba), Aunt Joanna, Doug, Beth, Robyn and Paul. Yep that's a lot of peps!! We swam, drove the boat around, and hung out on the dock. I never understood why people took babysitters on vacation with them.....until now. Luckily I had my family as babysitters :)

We had a great time and Mason did very well on the long 5hr car ride. He did well during the day too.....but nighttime was HELL! I think it was a combo of sleeping in his pack n play, sleeping in the same room as us, and not feeling well.

Thursday night he began to run a fever. We gave him tylenol and put him to bed. Friday his fever kept going up. When it hit 103.5 we took him to the emergency room....HIS FIRST TRIP! Found out he had the beginning of an ear infection. The doctor gave us some meds and we were on our way. It was scary for mommy and daddy! Needless to say his lake swimming ended there.

We took SOO many pictures I can't post them all. Here are a few and more in a slide show at the bottom!
