with some grandkids. We have some photos to
share.
This is a photo we took of the waves on Bear Lake on July 11th. The wind blew all day and caused the waves to build up. The bigger waves are 2 to 3 feet high. We took advantage of this phenomenon and took a dip. They were cool, yet quite powerful. No one was on the lake because it was so choppy. We are sure the people on the beach thought us to be crazy!
After the 4th we crashed a pool party at Cody's. You will notice all of the kids in the pool. They had a great time. Tate was hesitant at first, but grandpa got in, took him by the hand, and showed him how to splash and have fun in the water. Cody's cousin Alan didn't believe grandpa would really get in the water! It was a fun time. Cody and Tate kept catching potato bugs and trying to drown them in the pool.
Soon Tate was having fun on his own, and grandpa just thought it felt good to stay in!
After a year of planning and preparing, the Irwin reunion finally took place on July 12th at the Laketown church. Ruth worked her little squirrel tail off, but everyone said it was the best ever. Mike and Arlo got to cook burgers, hot dogs, and themselves during most of the activities. #1 hit of the activities was when Gordon hitched up his Alley Ponies and gave rides to anyone that wanted. Even the old ladies and gents (and I really mean OLD people) wanted rides and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their trip around the block- as many times as they wanted to ride.
It has been quite the summer and of course there is still time for more summer!
Later, all!
