Kentucky

we had a fun filled swift family reunion in kentucky for a week. we rented a lake house and went swimming, fishing, boating, waterskiing, horseback riding, bike riding, game playing - you name it we did it. we had an incredible time. grant loved having 7 other cousins to hang with 24/7. we can't wait for next year!

jason's first fish catch of the week


plunk! uncle ken released the fish into the lake


what grandpa would do every morning at 5 am - grant would get up early so we'd go meet him and see what he'd caught


cute aunt kerri on our boat dock with her son bennett


what we did most days - swam from the dock, jet skiied, while some took the boat out and water skiied/knee boarded/wake boarded - thank you uncle rich for driving so far with all your toys for us to use


uncle ken with his son maddox on the jetski - the little boys begged non stop for their dad's to take them on these


jason and grant


cammeron - what an awesome kid (uncle rich and aunt susan's oldest son). he was always taking the little kids for rides on this raft and they loved it


more jet skiing

grandpa and anneke


uncle rich and his daughter megan

karen and grandma! i finally convinced her to go and then i flipped her off by accident. she was such a good sport getting all wet in murky lake water (this water turned everyone's toe nails yellow after a week - strange).


my sister susan and me towing her kids on the raft




grandpa swimming with grant


more swimming fun
here's what the cousins did all day. if they weren't swimming, they were horsin' around. grant usually started it.





after getting all hot horsin' around, we'd go on the deck and eat popsicles.

the fishing trip - all the boys went fishing on the boat for the morning - apparently uncle rich wasn't interested in fishing but needed a good nap.

uncle ken with his catch - supposedly he caught a much bigger one but it got away!

the view walking down to the lake - it was awesome to be walking distance to swimming and boating. it was beautiful there.

grant after a fun long week. we miss you family!
