Pine View

I brought my Shuffle for the drive down. Mattie took it over for a spell. Anthony and I laugh at how much the girls talk. Megan was on one today, she talked the entire hour drive. I had my earphones on most of the time so I got to smirk out my window while Anthony answered her randomness every few minutes. The kids were so excited to play in the water.
Mattie was SO excited to see Caden, his very best buddy. Megan couldn't wait to get out on the jet ski (Taylor's brother and one of his sisters both have a pair so there were 4 to play on). Ali was a little more hesitant. They loved riding them. I got to take them out a few times too.. They both said Daddy was the better driver although I did better and went faster once I felt more comfortable. I was laughing so hard after my ride out with Megan. No matter how many bumps we took, splashes we made, or high speeds we went, Megan kept up a fluent conversation of randomness.....
" Remember when BUMP*Splash*__ this mom?" "and that one* bump, bump, SPLASH* time___________, and that was funny *BUMP*huh mom?"
Everyone but Travis and his family got to come. It was so fun to have most of the family there to hang out with.. Lots and lots of cousins to play with makes for alot of fun and noise.
In order to get up to the tent and food you had to climb a little embankment. Mattie was so cute when Dakota started climbing up, he held out his hand and said "here, I help you"
Drawing in the sandWe thought it was funny that grandma forgot to take the tag off her life vest
Grandpa spent most of the day sleeping under a large tree.
Anthony's shoes started to float away.. Mattie saved them...

He climbed up the big embankment to give them to Daddy and he wasn't even up there!

Cutie pieI was pretty self conscious hanging around all his bikini body wearing sisters. I'm by far the largest I've ever been in my life. It was embarrassing and I kept my cover up on the whole day. Even his sister Kristina who's given birth to 4 kids has a smokin body (just look for her above). ugh.
I was surprised that Ali actually agreed to try knee boarding. I was so proud of her for going out there. she did great and had so much fun. We gushed how proud we were of her.

Overall a WONDERFUL day.. I missed pictures of half the crew but with so much going on it was hard to capture everyone. We all got quite a bit of sun. Mattie and Megan fell asleep as soon as we got in the car.
I can't wait to do it again.

I LOVE this post! It's hilarious! Megan sounds like Z. He NEVER stops talking or asking questions. Drives me nuts, but I'm sure I'll think its SO cute when he's older and I look back. I can never make the pictures that I try to take of myself turnout yours looks so good! And by the way... Jess you DO have a smokn' body no matter what you say. Remember, your always your biggest critic! I think you look gorgeous!
