Part Two - Two Lakes Three Families

It's a cold rainy day in February and I think I am longing for those warm days of summer. It's been about six months since I last posted on our sad, neglected family blog. But I guess it is now time to add the second half of our summer vacation post. We have kept you in suspense long enough. So here it is. And now I am longing to be back

at the lake....

The second half of our incredible lake vacation included two fun and adventurous families the Downings and the Gharrings. We all shared a big house overlooking beautiful Bass Lake with a dock where we could bask in the sun to our hearts' desire. Here we are (most of us) assembling for the group photo while we tried to figure out the self timer on the camera.

I guess we never quite figured it out.

The fun was non-stop! Boating and tubing

Swimming out to the water trampoline.

Shelby learned to waterski!

Luke and Owen fishing - how cute is that?

We took another day trip to Yosemite (twice in two weeks!). This time we all hiked to the base of Yosemite Falls. Owen decided he wanted to jump in the pool at the bottom of the falls.

It was freezing, but they did it (even with belts and shoes on)!

Summer 2009 - such sweet memories!
