Thompson Cousins
We had a quick visit with the Chad Thompson family. They were here all the way from Texas. The girls were headed to Education Week and DawnEtta's parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Chad and the rest of the kids just came to play! They all stayed with us for the first few days. We had a great time boating, even if the kids were freezing in the Bear Lake water! They're used to the Gulf of Mexico 80 degree water! Super fun to see them, the kids have grown so much. Wish we could see each other more often!!

Thompson Reunion
The setting: beautiful Bear Lake!
The people: my favorite in the world!!
First week in August - Thompson reunion time!! We shared our Bear Lake week with Aunt Michelle plus lots of friends. The Wallys and Keslers came up on Saturday. I don't know where my camera was and I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of them!! We did a little boating, a little eating, a little bracelet making, a little craft fair exploring, plus an evening trip to the park. Fun! Sunday we finally tried out the Garden City ward and we got a huge treat. Elder Quentin L. Cook was there with his family and they turned a few minutes over to him after the testimonies. Very cool! Then Monday it was my birthday! I love my birthday so much because I always get to spend it with my family at one of my favorite places. Presents in the morning! Wes and crew gave me a couple of new shirts, and a paddle board rental. I will be getting my own paddle board one of these days when we can find just the right one. Yay!! Michelle gave me a book and a scarf, and Karlton gave me a cheesecake pan! I've always wanted one, and now I can get a lesson from the cheesecake expert!!
Cider was so cute in the water. She loved paddle boarding along with me and she was out there for a long time! Karlee inspired us to try a few yoga moves on the board too. Not that we were too successful at it, but we tried. That night we ate Lakeside pizza and LaBeau's shakes! Yum! Thanks everyone for a fun birthday!!
Although the water has gone down quite a bit, we still don't have much beach. We kind of had to set up among the weeds, but we had a super nice day!
Wes was having a good time all week spraying and cutting weeds on the lake bed. He may or may not have gotten in a wee bit of trouble for it. Shhh... don't tell!
Kori played matchy matchy. First with Karlee, then with her friends who came up on Tuesday.
Lucky Kori got 2 days off, one to spend with me on my birthday and one to spend with her nice friends who drove up to see her.
They had lots of fun tubing!
Poor Seth. This is what happens when you kneel in the tube and "skin" it!
I love these girls!
We enjoyed boating the rest of the week. Even Aunt Michelle had a kneeboard! It felt so good to her to be in the water, and she had a great time out there. Check out the Thompson tongue action!!
Not a lot of Bear Lake glass this trip, but when it's good, it's good, and Wes found a little!
Clint rocked the kneeboard and new wakeboard!
And no Thompson reunion blog post would be complete without Wes and my model faces, right?
