Roosevelt Vacation

In all the craziness that has accompanied our moving adventure, I totally forgot to post pictures from our Roosevelt vacation. Every year we spend a week at Roosevelt Lake with Justin's family. The kids have a great time with their aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. Of course this year, I completely forgot my camera, so it is only thanks to Justin's sister Jennifer that we have any pictures at all! Thanks, Jenn! :-)

Here's Justin on the wakeboard. This is the first year that he and his brother Jonathan didn't hurt themselves on the first day. :-) Of course, they didn't actually go skiing until the 3rd or 4th day anyway, so that helped.

All 3 of the kids loved Grandpa's new canoe. Rylee was super scared to go, and spent most of the first day trying to concoct ways to get out of a canoe ride. Once Justin convinced her to give it a try, she loved it. She paddled out halfway across the lake with Justin.

And there's always "King of the Mountain" on the inner tubes. Not sure who won this round. Although it looks like Connor is winning, he actually spent a lot of time falling off the tube.

But I think the best part of this year's trip was the huge storm we had. We lost our power, and we had thunder, lightning, and pouring rain. We all huddled under the carport and made s'mores by flashlight. Connor, Justin, Jaylen, Rachel, and Janell's friend, "Toast," all played guitars and sang. It was a lot of fun, and definitely a memory that will make this year and Roosevelt stand out. Thanks for a great time, Grandma & Grandpa!
