The Lakehouse...



...was a BLAST!



My sister Rachel has a Lakehouse on Couer D' Alene Lake, Idaho. It was BEAUTIFUL.
We had a bunch of siblings come and visit over the 24th of July with their families and we all LOVED it. The cousins are so much fun, they are getting so big, graduating, going on missions off to College & some are married. We have such a Close fun family and it's always a blast when we get together.

Click here and here for more pictures... (as if i didn't have enough, heehee)

I love how my little ones {the younger of the cousins} LOVE being with the older cousins, no matter the age. They don't starve for attention!

Hayes Wrestled the boys pretty much the whole time!

Rachel is such a GREAT Hostess, we ate GOOD, and Played lots of fun games. My new favorite game is "Canasta"

We went Fishing, wakeboarding, kayaking, waterskiing, Surfing, TUBING, bike rides, celebrated 3 birthdays, went to SILVERWOOD amusement Park, played on the Beach, played ping pong tournaments, LOTS of Monopoly & just enjoyed all being together!
I'm ready to go back!


She SPOILED us rotten...
