Our final adventure was a new one for all of us. Chuck's Aunt Karen and Uncle Doug live in Oak Run, a nice little community that has a fabulous lake included. We've talked several times about visiting and going out and just never seem to make it. Boy are we glad we finally got it set up!
The morning started with a visit to The Oaks Community Church. This church is special for us because Chuck's 1st Pastor, Marty, is now the pastor there. Marty is the pastor that did our wedding and has been a mentor to Chuck so it's always nice to go and visit.
We then headed to the lake with Karen, Doug, Gma and Gpa Hilman. A little side note, we've been planning this adventure most of the summer. Uncle Doug had to be in Canada for work a good chunk of the summer so this weekend was chosen. Those of you that live in IL know that this summer has been ridiculously hot and dry, of course the day we want it to be hot and dry it is a mere 75. Fortunately the rain held off till we were done playing on the lake! Regardless of the temperature, Em was super duper excited and couldn't wait to get into the boat. Doug took us out into a cove, we enjoyed a nice picnic and then the real fun began.
On the way out to the cove. Em was loving being able to balance herself and attempt to rock the boat.

All of us in the water. Em was in heaven, Payton couldn't decide if she liked it or not.
One happy little girl!
Because the day was chilly, P didn't stay in long and had just as much fun watching Em and Chuck jump of the boat.
Check out those blue lips! All the while asking when she could get back in!
On the way back to the Marina Uncle Doug let Em drive the boat. She drove us in a circle and then parked the boat with only a little help!
