I cant really call it a vacation. The word vacation conjures up images of frosty drinks and semi-reclined postures.

So Ill call it a trip.

My husband and I packed up our four kids (two of whom are tandem twins, babies who are just one year apart) and stayed in a small, TV-less cabin on the beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. This trip has been a yearly pilgrimage for our family we water ski, we hike, we enjoy playing board games when it rains. However, as our family has grown (doubling in the past two years), the trip has become more and more taxing, especially after several challenging years while developing our first video game from our home studio .
