whoa, go back to summer...

What happens when you get soooo behind in blogging?  You forget to add some fun events...so we have to go back again to summer (august 2010 to be exact).  We enjoyed a little family reunion at my sister's home on Lake Newman near Spokane.  It is an annual event and this year was just as exciting as years' past...swimming, waterskiing, tubing, campfire, s'mores, and family fun.

 Greta, the resident lake dog.

 Grandad and Grammy with the grandkids after swimming over to the floating dock!  "Thumbs up!  We made it!"

 Gran and Natty hangin' out on the grassy beach.

 Sophia, the flag girl on the boat!

 Audrey and cousin, Kyle...Kyle says, "faster, faster" and Audrey says "I've had enough!"

 Celeste lovin' life on the tube!

 Aunt Trish and cousin Sacia after a good swim.

 Dad and me relxaing on the "teacup", a big water toy which seats 10+! 

 Comin in off the boat after nephew Kyle and I had some good tube wars!

 Lookin' cool, Audrey!

 Getting ready for a delicious dinner, here is Sandrine and Mary Paule's hard work putting together kabobs for our appetizer!

 Ice cream and gas stop, Felix, Audrey and cousins, Kyle and Anna stop for a quick pic on the dock.

 Outdoor dinner table is set!

 Daddy and Natty enjoying the view.

 We had a cake after dinner in celebration of cousin Anna's adoption, We also celebrated all our August birthdays which were many!

 Aunt Trish, Uncle Clint, cousins Sacia and Anna.  Poor Anna with her broken arm.  No fun to have that at the lake!

 Late dinners make sleepy girls.
