Adam was great at making scrambled eggs - which, along with freshly brewed coffee and pancakes - (and, oh, yes, those sweet rolls) provided lots of choices for a "help-yourself" style breakfast. 
The children (and moms) got the table first...
while some of the adults relaxed and waited for things to clear out... (check out the fall leaves through the window. There was also a spectacular view of Gull Lake with beautiful leaves on the far side of the lake also.)
After breakfast the children went swimming in the indoor pool. Then it was time for some naps.
Following naps we did our pumpkin painting activity. Lots of fun and no major spills!
At 5 p.m. we went on a great wagon ride, pulled by these two clydesdales, Chico and Charlie. It was a highlight! And then after supper we enjoyed a bonfire on the beach (actually, more of a "camp fire") and then some went to see a magic show. It was a fun, full day of togetherness! Despite the challenge of eight children 5 and under, a few tears here and there, it was something that we want to do again and again.
Oh, did I mention the morning activity.... posing for many attempts at the CHRISTMAS CARD PICTURE? Sometimes bonding over a stressful experience brings people closer, I have heard...
We got the picture! :)
