The second week of July we headed over to Spirit Lake, ID for a reunion with my family.
We could not have asked for better weather, it was beautiful everyday!!
There were a few hiccups in our week, starting the week off with my sis Shannon cracking 2 vertebrate in her lower back during a tube ride. It was pretty scary having an ambulance come take her to the hospital but thankfully she was back home that same night. Then ending the week with my brother in law, Joe, getting 13 staples in the top of his head from a fall while riding the air chair. Again, he was back at the cabin that evening. Such a blessing that both of the incidents were not worse!
On the flip side here are some pics of the fun times :)
Playing in the sand and water
Leah chillin' in her sunglasses--she loves her glasses and wears them everywhere, even inside stores. She gets lots of compliments!!
Playing in the water all day long!!
Leah finally getting in the water with her dad's help
Swimming together--this was the first year Jenna has really enjoyed swimming. She would swim to the dock and back by herself with her life jacket. She is very close to swimming with a float!
Going on a Pirate Treasure Hunt-- thank you Aunt Lexi!
Bailey, Jenna, Brooklyn and Talan
Sydney, Bailey and Leah-- Leah just adores Bailey, she would call for Bailey even in her sleep!!
Taking a crack at the pirate ship pinata--the moms had to step in and finally get it to break!!
Leah enjoying some pirates booty (a ring pop)--can you guess the color :)
Brooklyn and Jenna taking a break from swimming
We took family pictures. This one makes me laugh, Leahs expression is priceless!
These two are only 4 months apart.

I've said it before and it won't be the last-- I absolutely love coming here to my grandparents cabin in Spirit Lake. I am so glad that my children get to experience it and make lasting memories just like I have from my childhood. It is always wonderful to get to spend quality time with family!!
