More Activites

Greg and Jen on the paddle boat, Grandma and Grandpa in the background.

Connor, Drew, and Colin canoeing

It was very hot....

Emily, Gina, Kade, Jill, and McKena

So obviously the other activity we chose to do was canoeing (or paddle boats if you have youngsters and don't feel like tipping over in the yucky water). They give you an hour to wander around the lake. My legs were tired before that and I felt I had roasted in the sun long enough. Paddle boats do not move very fast compared to canoes. Anyway, a good time was had by all and thanks to Garr and Karalee for making the arrangements!

Our Activities at the Reunion

Me, climbing up a pole

Kade wanted to try so badly, but he ended up being just a little too short.

Zack climbing

Zack walking across the wire.

Me walking across the wire.

McKena climbing.

Colin walking across--there is a zip-line once you get to the platform.

John making it look easy.

McKena loved this activity.

So this is the challenge course we did. There are 5 challenge courses up there. It involved climbing up the notched pole, side-stepping across a cable, then off down a zip-line. Pretty fun.

We had the chance to go to the Heber Valley Girls' Camp for our reunion this year. Garr has a sibling serving a mission there so they let families come to the camp on the weekends. During the week they have something like 2500 girls there. There were nice bunkhouses, kitchens, and bathrooms (although we did have to clean all before we left--not quite like a hotel). We spent 2 nights enjoying the scenery and atmosphere. It was beautiful.

Random pictures from our trip to Washington

My sisters were making skirts for their girls so I got in on the action and made one for McKena.

Fun with cousins on the Slip N' Slide.

Nice view from my parents' yard.

Haven't tried on these babies for awhile (16 years for me!) Other than Brooke's smelling like fish we thought they were in pretty good shape.

All the cousins

More slip and slide

We enjoyed a week in Washington this last month. My sister and her family were visiting from Florida so we took the chance to play while they were a little closer. Add in my other sister and sister-in-law and we had a big crowd and a lot of fun. We managed a day at the movies, a day at the Moses Lake aquatic center, a little bit of time crafting, a Moms' only shopping day, a few cook-outs, and just good ole' cousin time. John wasn't able to come with me so I drove up by myself. I put Zack as the co-pilot but he managed to sleep over half the trip. That wasn't very much help but it helped to have him not in the back harassing the other kids. My Dad was kind enough to help me drive home. Thanks to my parents for hosting and can't wait to do it again next year!
