Island Park Continued...

The kids loved hanging out at the cabin and playing together. We got a game called Headbandz that they played a ton. Even Luke joined in the fun!Geoff and Aleena helped the kids make these darling shirts. Our attempt at getting a picture of them failed miserably! We had a dock right outside that the kids loved to swim off. The played in the tubes and rafts.Just chilling with my best friend :) My kids were obsessed with the boat...even Lukey!They were on there as much as possible!At one point the boat ran out of gas while they were out. Oops. At least they could laugh about it. I was worried because there were tons of kids including Luke, Tavah, and Thompson, but they did fine. Our nice neighbors went and towed them in!Ry is so fun to watch wakeboard!He is a good poser for the 8 million pictures we took of him!He took the boys on the wakeboard with him. They are getting better and actually stood up on the board this time.Abbey designed our cute family reunion shirts!On Thursday we ALL went up to Mesa Falls. It was so pretty!On Thursday night we had a So You Think You Can Dance competition. Geoff and Aleena had assigned everyone different genres and we had a blast doing it! I was seriously impressed with the dances and costumes everyone came up with. My mom and dad were fabulous judges! Geoff and Aleena won...rightfully so...but it was so much fun!Jake was so nice and made the kids a scavenger hunt. They loved running around trying to figure out the clues!On Friday night we attempted to get all 28 people in a family picture!Just 8 of my favorite people in the world!I am not sure if we will ever get a cute family picture with these 3. You can't say we don't try!He is just too cute!Love them!We had a campfire and did smores!Since it was our last night, Chad came up with a crazy idea to go for a "midnight" swim. The kids threw on their swimming suits and jumped in!We stood on the dock and watched!This may be my favorite picture!Or maybe this oneThat night we stayed up late to play games and spend time together! If you know Aleena at all you will know the significance of this picture!Then it was time for us to say goodbye. We were sad to see the week end and there were some tears shed! We can't wait to do it again in 2 years! Thanks to the most AMAZING parents in the entire world for such a great week! I love my family! We definitely made memories to last a lifetime!
