Family Time!
It has been a very special week end.  All twelve of us have been together since Friday, through this morning.

Trisha, Jeff, Landon, Brady, Tanner and Natalie were with us.
Darin, Sarah, Ashlynn and Zade were with us.

There was an early celebration of Glen's birthday with a delicious strawberry cake!

Trisha, Darin, Tanner took care of all of the meal planning and preparations.  There were steaks, baked potatoes; bar-b-qued ribs, sausages, pulled pork with all the fixings; pancakes and eggs, bacon and eggs.  Thanks, children, for the meals.  

Trisha and Jeff used their ski boat for rides and tube-ing.  Ashlynn and Zade had never been on a tube before, but took to it like a pro!  All of the older grandchildren rode with the little ones, and took care that they had a great time.

Brady provided a fishing pole and lure for Zade to fish with!  Zade stuck with it but was disappointed not to catch a fish.  Brady caught a 2 1/2 to 3 pound bass.  Zade wanted to catch one that big too.

Everyone enjoyed the slide on the end of the boat.

Oh--the boat.  The "Suzanne" had seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, an upper deck with hot tub, and the slide!  Think "floating condo"!
