Labor Day Weekend!

So Friday morning our plans fell through and we had no idea how we were going to get to Utah for my family get-together on Saturday. We looked up rental cars, but they were too expensive, so we decided flying would be the easiest way! We bought two airline tickets that left California on Friday afternoon, and we arrived safely in Utah that night! What an adventure!

Our cabin is at Bear Lake and it is named Cullowhee because my uncle says Cullowhee is the most beautiful place he has ever seen. (It is a city in North Carolina)

We filled the boat with babies and went skiing first thing!


I had to take pictures of my nieces and nephews in their cute bathing suits!


Marshall's speedo was my favorite!


For dinner we had a yummy BBQ!



My favorite was the strawberry pie we had for Luke's birthday!


Happy Birthday Luke!



Then we headed down to the beach to roast some mallows over the awesome fire Taylor and Dave started!

Josh entertained us with some tunes.


Then we whipped out the sparklers and fireworks!


My brothers got the big ones in Evanston, Wyoming that aren't even legal in Utah. (Luckily we were on the Idaho side.)
It was quite the show!


Taylor and I took "Pheobe" to church on Sunday.
All of my cousins helped Grandy to paint this VW Bug, and boy does it turn heads!


Sunday evening a storm a crazy storm rolled in across the lake. We all went out on the porch to have a look!


On the way back to Utah we had to stop at Merlin's to get famous Bear Lake rasberry shakes!

You guys should write a book on all the fun things to do in Utah.

I haven't heard from you in quite a while. How are things? Oh and did your dad tell you I served him up at sundance along with the rest of the civil engineering professors? funny. :)

I love the VW! What a fun paint job with everyone's personalized patchwork.
