We kicked off the month of July with my family reunion. This year's reunion was particularly special since we were also celebrating my parents 50th anniversary. We kicked of the festivities by spending the 4th at my brothers place. We had an amazing meal, a kiddie bike parade, tons of water activities and capped off the night with an amazing display of fireworks (courtesy of the men!) I didn't take great pictures on the 4th but here's our girls all dressed up for family pictures!
The next morning we packed everyone up and headed to McCall to spend a week on the lake. It was fabulous. The lake was empty since most people had spent to 4th on the lake and headed home. We had it all to ourselves and we had a great time. As usual my brothers spent the day shuttling kids on the boats. This year was more fun for us because Emily and Lauren actually wanted to go on the boats and jet skis. Lauren was an animal. Two years ago she wouldn't step foot on a boat and this year we couldn't get her off. It was fun but a little nervewracking. She always wanted to go FAST!! Besides sitting by the lake we had fun evenings filled with talents, memories, parties and games (more to come.) It was so wonderful to spend the week with my family and get caught up with everyone!
Lauren with some of her cousins waiting for the boats to come back in. She preferred to ride with the boys since they like to go fast.
