Banks Lake Family Reunion Trip - Friday and Saturday

Some cute Aiden things from the trip :

- Going up to Grandma all the time asking "up up up" and giving her lots of snuggles
- Bringing his life jacket to me and saying "Go Boat!" because he loved Grandpa's boat so much
- Hiding behind Grandpa and Grandma's tent so he could watch the boats and yell "boat!" everytime they moved
- Following his cousins around like a lost puppy and giggling at everything they did
- Stuffing rocks into his shoes and then pushing them in farther with a stick for a reason we never figured out
- Hugging a puppy that was licking his face. That kid loves dogs.
- Climbing into bed with mom Saturday morning because he was cold and sleeping on me for the first time since he was teeny tiny.
I'm sure there are many more but I am too tired to remember them now haha. Also I made it a goal this vacation not to worry about getting pictures of everything so I could relax and enjoy my vacation and so go figure I didn't get any pictures of Aiden riding in Grandpa's lap on the boat or of me Jamie Mandy or Ashley (we were usually together so I couldn't really take a picture and be in it at the same time) so now I am a bit bummed. Someday I'll figure out how to manage picture taking and vacationing.

Friday Kensie decided to try real skiing on double skis



Poor thing was so tired and crashed and was too exhausted to try again (braver than me still!) but she did such a good job! I couldn't believe how brave she was to try it!


Jeremy always went skiing early in the morning so I was never on the boat with him when he skied so these are the only ones I got of him but it was fun to get them from a different angle.



We went out to the rocks again and this time Aiden slept in the boat.


We were able to find a rock that everyone could climb up to so they all took turns jumping off


Jeremy likes to gracefully jump haha






We got Aiden in the water again this time in his floaty but he still hated it. Poor kid haha. After getting back from swimming Jeremy, Steve and Kensie went for a canoe ride




On Saturday we packed up and made the long long drive home but Mikey ended up showing up and the boys went skiing in the morning and he got some time with Aiden. We haven't seen him since we were up last November so we were excited he got to come even if it was just for a little bit :)


fell asleep after only a few minutes


had so much fun, seriously i miss everyone so much already!
