Les and Connie so graciously allowed a friend and I to take our kids down to their lakehouse last week.
Lisa has 6 kids who are about the same ages as mine, so between us we have 13 kids, ages 12 to 7 months. We packed up the 15 passenger van with every seat filled and every bit of under-seat space occupied by a duffle bag, life jacket or bag of food. Unfortunately, we had to leave our hard-working, soccer-coaching daddy at home. Believe it or not, he actually wanted to go. Crazy guy. It took us 10 hours to make a 7 1/2 hour journey, but we arrived with everyone intact and ready to swim! Even Selah was a happy traveler the whole way.

10 of the 13 kids lined up on the dock getting ready to jump in. Now, maybe it's just me, but it really doesn't look like that many kids...
Grandma and Grandpa Larson have the perfect set up for a family of 15. Two tables in the kitchen with plenty of chairs and benches for seating! And where did we all sleep, you ask? Plenty of room there too. Truthfully, most kids have no problem camping out in a sleeping bag on the floor, but there are so many sleeping areas... Everyone slept on a bed, a couch, a cot or an air mattress.
