Rose Reunion

We had such an awesome time up in Island Park at the cabin, for our Rose Reunion. This was our last vacation of the year, and now we're home getting ready to pack up and move!
 The kids had their ups and downs, and it took some time to get them used to the lake, dog, and finding their place amongst all the cousins. But, they love their cousins, and it's all part of moving away, and not being around them all the time like we used to. It was cute to see Addy and Mason both bond with Kyler and Preston. They were best buds by the end of it. The older kids were so good playing with ours, and it's cute to see the big boys carrying Mason around:) , and the girls were good about including Addy in stuff.  And Mason finally warmed up to Dan's dog, Abby! For some reason, he's deathly afraid of animals,even though he loves them in every way except having to touch them. But we got him to pet her by the time we left!
It was just nice to relax, and enjoy how beautiful Island Park is. I love my Sisters-in-law, and it was fun catching up with them. They are all such incredible examples to me, and a blast to be around. I am so blessed and lucky to have married into such an awesome family. Every member of this family is so sincere, so kind and funny, and have always welcomed me in right from the start. It's always a relief to be in aa family where everyone can just be themselves, and laugh and have a geat time together. I love them all so much!
We had a cowboy day, nights around the campfire, lots of jumping in the lake, movie nights, boating/tubing, horse-shoes, and daily workouts (running and Insanity). It was So much fun!


















 That's Addy in the blue life jacket on the tube! We were so proud of her!







 We took more breaks than usual on the long drive home.

Can't wait until next year!!
