The Lake House 2009

At the airport. I think that this was the first flight Rowan had been on since she was a few months old.. The kids were so good on the flight.

Just chillin' on the beach in front of the house..

Most of the kids- I think the only one you can't see is Liam hiding behind Rowan. There are 14 all together.

Ellie and Maddy in our wetsuits. The water was not that cold but the air was not that warm so it made the kids more willing to ski..

The 2002 cousins with Kellen as motor..

The storm rolling in over the mountains on the other side of the Lake..

The 2002 cousins again..Haley is the lone girl most of the time

Hanging out on dock while the boys were working on the rock wall. Jerry let us put my IPOD music on the outside deck speakers and so we had a bit of a dance party on the dock.

The first 12...

More Dance Party. Chris and Kristie's girls have some soul! Liam does like to shake his bootie- but usually only when he can get a laugh from it...

It was sunny about 3 of 10 days... the other 7 were the ONLY stormy days of the ENTIRE summer! We ended up taking the kids bowling and to the movies.. Not ideal but I think a lot of the kids were stoked about the rain because they got out of skiing..:) The kids had a great time playing in the rain, fuseball, ping pong, etc.. We didn't see Ellie and Maddy the entire week- you would think they would get tired of each other, but no, they were still going strong at the end of the week. I don't think they realize how lucky they are to have their cousin also be their best friend.. The kids really are extremely lucky to have cousins they love to hang out with..
