Marshall Bear Lake Week

The Marshall Reunion was such a blast! Scott made it a little hard.. he is just a little too young and still puts sand in his mouth. Luckily Mom & Dad rented a house on the beach to house all the families with babies. It was great to be able to put the kids down during the day without leaving the beach and going all the way back to the house!

Marshall had so much fun! He played in the sand, played in the little pool, took rides on the boat, help Grandpa drive it, and found sea shells.

Oh and he caught some frogs! That was so fun for him! He loved to play with Corinne too!
 

 Brady and I had a good time too.. surfing and taking rides on the boat, and having good discussions on the beach. This year my Grandpa Marshall challenged all of us to think of a discussion topic. That was fun to hear and discuss everyone's topics!

Here are my Grandpa Marshall, Uncle Ross and Dad!

We don't just go to the beach at our reunions. Grandma always has a craft to do each morning. Here is Marshall coloring and painting his Bear Lake Shirt! He really loved that!

This day they got to paint little cars that he plays with all the time now!

They also like to feed the goats.. and occasionally ride them haha!

Grandma gives all the kids and Grandkids little presents every morning! So the families each give her and Grandpa presents too or one big present.
Here is Marshall playing/hiding in the new vacuum box!

After the beach someone was always out playing volleyball before or after dinner!
Here is Jeff, Don and Brady!
We also go to the park one night for a big game of soccer. Kim is probably the only girl that usually plays!!

We always have delicious meals. Each family switches off to do Breakfast and Dinner for one day. I wasn't much help having two kids. Mindi made these delicious treat for us! Aren't they beautiful!

 We also usually have a work morning to keep up the house! It's pretty old so it always needs a lot of work. Since Brady is amazing and knows how to do everything (and if he doesn't know he just calls his Dad), he always gets to help on these days!

Here are 4 generations of Hard Workers!
I LOVE this!

One night we have a BIG Family Night were every family does something. Our family Night activity was to get together as small families and have the parents tell about the day they met or a significant time while they were dating/engaged. THEN, the kids had to act it out to the rest of the family. It was pretty fun!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for keeping our family so close! I know you do so much for us!

Here are the Great Grandparents with all the Great Grandkids!

My parents with their Grandchildren!

The last thing we did at Bear Lake was the Lake Town Rodeo! Marshall LOVED it!
Here is some of the family that went!

Marshall and Corinne got to go chase after a couple chickens. If they got one they got money or something!
There were definitely too many kids. I don't even think they saw what they were chasing.

But they still ran.. just followed everyone else! It was hilarious!

We had a lot of fun! Scott wasn't that bad either!

Well, obviously we had a blast that week! Thanks to everyone for making it possible and super fun!
