My Favorite Place

We just got back from a week at my Grandparents Lake House in Washington State. They have had it since I was 9 years old, and it is one of my favorite places. My so grateful for my Grandparents for providing this place for us - it is beautiful, it has tons of fun stuff to do, and I have wonderful memories from there. I'm so glad that my kids are getting to make some there too. We had a great trip - it was so fun to be with my parents, my cousins, Corey and Jess and Colin, and their friends Nate and Rachel. I was seriously so sad when we had to leave.


Here is a view from the front lawn of the house.

Here is my nephew Colin and Lucy on the boat. He is so cute, this picture really doesn't do him justice.

Mary learned to wake board, she did AWESOME!

It looks like you had a great vacation. What a beautiful place, I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice! I hope that some day Brad and I will have our spot somewhere that our family (for generations to come) will be able to visit regularly. There is nothing like reliving your memories through your kids perspective.

I ams o jealous! It looks so beautiful there, and relaxing. So, when do we get to go? Hint hint! The kids looked like they had a blast. I'll bet you needed that time away.

Isn't it wonderful when your kids make great memories of the same things you loved as a kid. That house looks absolutly beautiful. I wish my grandparents had a place like that :-)

We sure did have a fun time on this vacation. Too bad you didn't have a photo of me (Grandma Linda) wakeboarding! Mary and I learning to wakeboard the same year - pretty funny. We had a great time with your family this last weekend blessing Kelsey and being in town for the big game/big win. BYU 59 vs. UCLA A BIG ZERO! Unforgettable family fun!!!
