representation of the fun that we had (but I'm grateful to Aunt Kim
for snapping these of my kids).
We were spoiled and the boys, in addition to spending glorious time
with cousins, got to try all sorts of new things. Christian LOVED
skurfing and easily earned his watersport merit badge. Sam was the
champ of the kneeboarding. Warner was eager and willing to try
EVERYTHING!!! Mudgie LOVED the boat and jumped on every chance he
could get to be in the action. We heard stories about the body beater
being flipped and the survivors had the scrapes and scabs to show for
it, along with enormous smiles and bragging rights. Uncle Travis was
amazing and spent LONG days driving the boat and entertaining our
water deprived children. Warner and Talmage took a special liking to
Aunt Kim and she was kind enough to shower them with a little extra
love. Uncle Kevin tossed neices and nephews into the air from one end
of the pool to the other. Uncle Bryan told stories. Aunt Jill gave
the boys a list of books to read. Aunt Missy pulled out crafts, and
scooters, and treats, and toys. Grandma was delighted by the surprise
and to be surrounded by her entire posterity. The highlight was
Grandpa, in full swim attire, joining us all in the swimming pool for
a little fun. We ate and ate and ate scrumptious meals, talked and
caught up, laughed, wrestled little ones, soaked up sunshine, and I,
in particular, was reminded why this group of people are among some of
the finest I know.
