Bear Lake #1

 

We got back in school, Sam started the week with the flu, but we ended the week with an overnight stay at Bear Lake with my family.  Nellie had to leave before we got there for work, but we loved having everyone there.  I love my siblings, parents and niblings.  I love to see my kids grow and still have joy in little things like skipping rocks.  I caught Jer and Ada making drip castles.... Sam, Ada and Jer digging holes with cousins... and Seth and I skipping rocks.  He found the "master rock" that would skip at least 5 times.  My cousin, Wendee, also came up with her family.  That was fun to catch up.  I never actually saw Evelyn in the water, but she loved playing games with Uncle Seth, Ada, Sam and Dad.

Ada woke Jer and I up so that we could do a Senior Sunrise with her.  I hope she has a great Senior year. 

Harding Family reunion

I haven't been to a Harding family reunion in years.  This time, it was a week after the 4th so we were able to make it.  

The boys decided to play spike ball on the raft.  They said that if they missed, they had to jump in the water.

Evelyn decided to learn to crochet... so we spent the first hour teaching and she spent the next two days doing.

It was my Dad's birthday too.  We spent the evening celebrating at and Airbnb.  We had dinner, went swimming, chatted, etc...

These two found a place to read Brandon Sanderson

Ada and Alexx drove up a couple days early in our van.  The AC was broken and they drove almost 8 hours in July in the heat.  

Go Jump in the Lake.

My momma and her siblings.  We missed Dar in the picture, but she was there too.

Thea and Viv loved Jessie little girl.  They were head over heels for her.

Doug and Linda

Lynda and Barbara

Liz and her grandbaby

When we got home, Vinn thought that we smelled particularly well and kept rolling around on Evelyn's bag.

Lance took this picture of the sunset.  He and Ada did a photo contest.  It was cute.

Devin and Grandpa

Mark restored the bell that Seth and Vivien found with a metal detector.  It was Great-Grandma Harding's.

Liz won this handprint sheet in 1992 with all the cousins and Grandparents that were present.  Sharon had paint and Liz's boyfriend had a sheet that he donated and we did the activity again.
