Family Vacation 2008!

Bethany, Chidlers, and I just got back from a very fun family vacation to Traverse City. It was a huge family reunion for the Snow Family (Bethany's family). All 5 of Bethany's siblings were there along with their families, for a grand total of 15 children and 13 adults. It was a big party! We did a lot of swimming, paddle boating, kayaking, snorkeling, had bonfires, roasted marshmallows, had a talent show, went to Interlochen music camp to walk around, went go-carting, went to a carousel, went to Lake Michigan, played in gigantic sand dunes, played badminton, jumped on a big trampoline floating in a lake, and had a lot of fun together. We all stayed in a huge cabin together that had a secluded lake behind it. It was a great vacation! We were there from Monday until Friday. I can't wait until the next one!

Lake Michigan is bitter, bitter, bitter cold in June! I only lasted a
few minutes out there! You can see the agony in my face.

This smaller lake behind the cabin was much more bearable. You can see

This was a great picture...too bad Evelyn got cut off a bit!

What a fun reunion trip! That's so great that all 5 of the kids were there. A cold, cold lake sounds wonderful right now, it's oh so hot here. :)
I agree a cold lake sounds good! We are at 115 here now! Jen's pool is almost bathtub water warm!
I also cannot imagine wearing a jacket. It looks like you guys had a great time.
