Ferrell Family Fun at the FVC

Our family just got back from our bi-annual Ferrell Family vacation. Every 2 years Ryan's family goes on a big family vacation together. This year we went to The Family Vacation Center at UC Santa Barbara. Every single one of Ryan's family members was able to make it this year so we had quite a few people. We stayed for 1 week on campus and did so many things that it would be impossible to blog about all of them. The girls had a great time playing with their cousins and I had a great time hanging out with the adults. If you are interested in finding out what a great place this is to vacation at go to www.familyvacationcenter.com. Here are a few pictures that were taken during the vacation. There will be a few more to come when I have more time.

They had a family carnival the second day we were there and Peyton was able to do the balloon toss with her Aunt AnnaMarie and her cousin Katie.

Peyton did a relay race with her cousin Taylor and her Aunt Tricia. They had to suck through a straw and try to get as many Smarties into another bowl in a certain amount of time. Her team won.

Peyton had a great time doing tug-o-war with her cousin Taylor.

I was able to go to many beginning tennis classes with my brother and sister-in-laws. We had a great time fooling around. We definitely livened up the classes.

On Wednesday it was family day (they didn't have any kid group activities scheduled) so Aunt Ashley put on a little music class for the younger grand kids. They loved singing and dancing together.

Aunt Tricia had the kids make fun things with play dough. They loved pulling the leaves out of the bush and putting them in their play dough.

Hailey loved the play dough.

They had swim races for all of the kids and I was able to compete with Hailey in a piggyback race. I am proud to say that I won both of the races. My old swimming abilities came back without a problem.

Peyton competed in her age group race and got 3rd place.
On Friday the girls performed a song for us with their kids groups. Hailey's song was about a worm so she had a worm painted on her face.
Hailey's cousin Kalle was in the same 3 year old group with her and they had a great time going to group together.

Peyton was able to get her face painted on the 4th of July by her counselor. She wanted her face to look like her shirt.
Peyton and her cousin Makenna with their counselor Michelle. They loved playing with her.
Here is the shirt that we gave to Ryan's parents to thank them for our wonderful vacation. We had all of the grand kids do their hand or footprint so they could remember how old and how big they were during the 2008 vacation. Thank you so much mom and dad for taking us on such a wonderful vacation. You guys are the best.
