Thank You Shaver!

Leah, 99% of the time


Swim time!


Leah, Daddy, Dillan with Baby JoJo


Floating


We found a treasure map!!!


He was brave, but it did not end well


2 seconds later he jumped. Without help. Without fear.
The picture is forever implanted in my mind.

Thank You Shaver, for

-Bringing all the family together
-Reminding us how unique of a family we truly are
-Teaching my children about swimming
-Allowing us to bask in your beautiful surroundings
-Bringing my sister back for a little while
-Reminding us of what it means to be at peace
-Teaching my child that it's ok to use a potty that's not at home
-Allowing me to laugh till I cried
-All the good junk food I get to eat
-Teaching my child about courage and jumping off your big rock
-Always having perfect weather (even the rain drizzle was great!)
-Reminding us to put on sunscreen
-Making us exhausted at bedtime
-Reminding me of how blessed I am
-Reminding me of how spoiled I am by my parents

-Getting all the grandkids together
-Reminding me that I still have so much to learn from my grandmother
-Allowing pirate treasure to be hunted daily by some very excited children

Didn't realize one little lake could do so much for such a big family.
Til next year then!
