At the Beach

I stole a bunch of pics off my little sister Lindsay's blog. She managed to record the doings of the summer--something I didn't manage to do. No need for everyone to have a camera, right? Right. So here are some pictures of when my family was partying at the lake when Amy and her family was visiting from Arizona. Excellent times.

Mom with Ruth.

Little Megan.

Olivia and Lindsay Ann (Natalie is under the towel).

Danica and Olivia racing.  Wyatt had us all doing some normal races, but then he started to get crazy and wanted me to leap flotation devices.  Ha.  I'm an old lady, Wyatt.  I left it to the youngsters to participate in Wyatt's, aka the Pied Piper's, madness.

Danica and Wyatt.  More racing.

Timothy and Harriet hanging out on the beach while I was on the boat.  Actually, I was on a huge tube-thing.  I thought it was going to be fun to be on the tube until WYATT climbed on.  I was not pre-warned.  Then Olivia climbed on.  First they tried to push me off--successfully.  Then they tried to push me off and Olivia nose-dived into the water.  Then Wyatt was standing on his head and surfing, then Jared started going fast and I thought I was going to die so I made the "Stop Now Before I Die" signal, which Jared honored.  While he was slowing down Olivia and Wyatt conspired against me again, and I ended in the water again.  It was awesome.

Ruth and Eli.

The tube I was riding.  I think it is Garrett, Myles, and Danica you can see by Wyatt.

Timothy and Harriet strolling along the beach.  Thank you for taking this picture, Louisa--I love it!

Jack roaming the sand with his truck.  Jack is Wyatt's and Lindsay Ann's boy.

The Pied Piper being followed by Cassidy, Jack, and Emeline.  Emeline is my most petite child and her board shorts have been falling down all summer and I keep meaning to put a tuck in . . . but it probably won't ever happen.  Know thyself.

Thanks again for the pics, Louisa.  It was such a fun day.
