We just returned from a great weekend with the Kinsey family. It was wonderful to spend a few days with my parents and sibs and their families. Thanks, Mom and Dad!! We had a great cabin with 7 bedrooms right on the lake, but (tragically and inexplicably) there were only two and a half baths! That is the only thing I have to whine about, so I’ll do it right up front. Two and a half baths in a 7 bedroom cabin that sleeps 30 people! How is it possible that the builder thought that would be OK? Whining rant over.
The weather was perfect, the location was beautiful, we had an absolutely wonderful time. I didn’t get pictures of our day at the beach, but the water near the beach was actually warm, which I was not expecting. We played with the kids on the beach and in the water, and it couldn’t have been a better day for it. We took turns on the boat that we rented (thanks Dad, Jeff, and Jared!); this was Emily’s favorite thing.
The kids loved our “cowboy dinner” and play at Pickleville Playhouse (thanks Michelle and Steve!), but poor Samuel was so tired, he fell asleep in my arms about halfway through.
Uncle Greg took some of us on a hike on the Limber Pine trail in Logan Canyon. Alex and Melissa, who were inseparable the entire weekend, were the leaders. We followed them and they didn’t lead us astray.

Melissa and baby Peter; “He likes me! Look, he likes to hold my finger!”

Mandi and Sam (um, you were supposed to smile!):
Emily and Sam do a little better here:
Jared and Mandi, still struggling with that smile thing:
Jared spent one morning climbing to Minnetonka Cave and got this picture with his cellphone while he waited for the others to arrive in their cars.

It looks like you had a lot of fun, I wish you all could make it to our Bear Lake time on the 21st. Maybe some other time! You’re kids sure are cute!
The Kinseys appear to have enjoyed Bear Lake. The weather these past few days was made for family reunions. We are ahppy you all had such a good time together. That’s what families are for.
Love ya’all.
Looks like you had a great weekend. We are going up this weekend for the 4th of July.
Looks like fun!! Jared always squeezes in a bike ride somehow eh?:)
In this case, Jared sqeezed in a ride all the way around the lake on Friday and a ride all the way up to the cave on Saturday. Thursday night he rode his bike to LaBeau’s so he could bring shakes back in his water bottle holders.
