Bass Lake 2009

We just got back from Bass Lake with Brad's family, we had a ton of fun!! We look forward to going all year long and by the time we actually go the trip goes by so fast! We went to the lake every day and hung out every night.
Nixon loves riding on the boat. He is still to scared to ride on the tube.
The kids wanted to ride in the smaller boat so they could go really fast. The big boat doesn't go so fast when there is 20 other people on it.
Here is Brad and his brothers and dad.
All the kids liked making smores, but they didn't like to eat as many as they made. So all the adults were handed the leftovers. After one you tend to get a little sick!
Smores are soooo messy!
Paul and Mariela
Alyson and Joel

Everyday we went to the same spot to let the kids swim and play in the sand and rocks.

Here are the 4 year olds hanging out together, it was fun this year because they were old enough to entertain themselves. They had so much fun playing with sticks and getting dirty. Notice Nixon's shirt, not too clean!!!
The first night we get there we go out to dinner. Everything was closed by the time we got settled into our cabins and the only place open was a little pizza place which turned out to be pretty good. Brad's brother Greg designed the t-shirts this year and they turned out great. Here is Greg, Katherine, Gavin and Avery getting ready for some pizza.
Our family ready for some pizza too.
I know the pictures are a little out of order but oh well there are so many of them and it is a headache to try and arrange them in order!
My dad stopped by the day we were leaving and dropped off some bags that my mom made for my kids to keep them busy on our way to Bass Lake. She is awesome. The kids were so excited to open their bags and find snacks and fun things to do in the car. Thanks mom!
The kids slept so well! Caden didn't get up until 8:00 every morning!!!! He never does that he normally wakes up by 6:30 everyday!
I love this picture of Nixon and Carsyn.
Paul and Mariela brought their hammock and the kids pretty much took it over!
Here is little Kenny all wrapped up. Such a cutie!
More roasting marshmellows!
All of the women.
On Mother's day the guys made us breakfast and then said they were leaving to go out to breakfast, they didn't actually go but the sign they made was pretty cute.
The best looking cook I've ever seen!!

I had so much fun and can't wait until next year!

I love all the pictures. It looked like it was beautiful there! There isn't anything like Bass Lake. WEre on the lake did you dock? The shore line looked so clean.

Thanks Linda. Jaime the water level was low, so I think that made the spot we docked even better because it was sandy just like the beach. It couldn't have been better. It is a little southwest of Ducey's.
