Thompson Reunion Time

Spending a week with our whole family at Bear Lake is the sweetest thing on earth!  This was another Thompson reunion for the books.  Boating, chilling, reading, playing with Livi, eating, paddle boarding, puzzling, and Juanito Bandito.  A perfect week.  And one that may not happen again for a while as Kori left for Hawaii right after this trip.  But oh, we love being together!

This BABE is ready for the BEACH!

A few more beach peeps:

... a few other people joined us on the beach too.  It was pretty busy for the July 24th weekend.

Livi and I spent one evening together while everyone else went to see Juanito Bandito.  We had so much fun eating rice cereal and playing and smiling!  She's such a joy!

Kori also loved spending time with Liv because she was leaving for Hawaii the next week, and she's gonna miss this little sweetheart!

Michelle came up for a few days despite having a fractured pelvis.  You would never know it from the pics though.  Michelle, you rock!  Thanks for coming to party with us.

We did a teeny bit of sailing.

We did some of this:

And we did a lot of this!

Of course we got in some boating.  Glassy water was scarce, but we still had fun being together.

Poor baby squished into her little life jacket.  She was a trooper!

Something else we did during the week was get family photos taken.  It just happened to be the only evening that it stormed.  We were so worried about the weather.  We lucked out big time.  It was windy, but the rain held off during our shoot.  Also, because of the weather, the beach was pretty deserted, and the colors in the sky were really cool.  I think they turned out really awesome!  Here are a few of our favorites.

Wallys At The Lake

We had a quick girls day at the lake with the Wallys before Kori had to leave for Hawaii.  We were worried we were going to have some bad weather!  It was windy and a little stormy when we got there.  But it didn't dampen our fun.  Thanks for coming with us, Wally Girls!

My favorite.  I love this pose from Kenna.

Juanoodle Bandoodle

The Colsons came to the lake for a quick weekend.  We had so much fun with Heidi and Jared, kids and puppy!  They made it down Friday morning in time for lunch and a showing of Juanito Bandito.

When Wes got there later that afternoon, we had some fun on the beach.  Jared rented a wave runner, the kids had fun on the paddle board, and especially boating with Wes.

The dogs loved running through the water, swimming (or in Millie's case, walking on her hind feet!), digging up dead fish and rolling in them!  Dogs will be dogs I guess.  They had lots of fun.

We had even more fun on Saturday when Karlton and the baby came up.  The kids loved playing with Colton.  It was kind of windy, but it was a beautiful day!

Liv and I stayed back at the house and took selfies on the porch!

Saturday night, Heidi and Jared took us out to Zipz and we got to eat in one of the boats!  Yummy!  Thanks so much, Colsons!  We had a great time with your cuties.  Come anytime!

This pic sums up how much fun we had!!
