Family Fun

Geez!  How much can I write about our trip to Lake Powell?  Apparently quite a bit!  Really I just want to say how blessed I feel to have spent the time with my family, my sister, her family, and her in-laws.  All of her in-laws have adopted my family into their family and we always feel so welcome.  We now call them all our in-laws or cousins.  We had six families on this trip...us and five Zesiger families (my sister's family and her husband's 4 siblings and their families).  There were 11 adults and 15 children.  I think sometimes it might be hard for that many people to get along so well but we sure did and it was such a great time.

Here are just some other random pics from the trip.  People and memories I never want to forget.  Enjoy!

Love seeing my kids smile!

These next photos of Jack are him showing me all his faces.

My favorite!!!

And these next ones are his response to finding out we were done boating for the day.

"Don't look at me!"

Jeff does his best to comfort Jack.
