Bear Lake Reunion!

The first part of our summer adventures started with the Lloyd Reunion at Bear Lake at my Uncle Lanes and Aunt Donetta's family cabin. We got there on Saturday afternoon because on Friday I had a test for my Art class that I needed to do right before we left. Even though we were only there a short time we played on the beach, went swimming, boating and I got in the water for my very first time, seriously I'm 27 and I have NEVER jumped off a boat into the middle of the lake before, so needless to say I was a little bit nervous and after I jumped in I felt like couldn't breath. I'm know....I KNOW...seriously it wasn't that big of a deal. I stayed in the water and attempted to learn how to water ski. I am a little embarrassed to say that I didn't get up!!! >( I tried I think 3 or 4 times, I was already exhausted when I got into the water from only being on 3 hours of sleep, but hey a tried. For the rest of the summer I was itching to get out in the water and try it again. Next summer! Glen went out and tried knee boarding, and tubing with the kids. Glen got thrown off the tube pretty hard. He had a WIPE OUT!!!!! After the fun on the boat (by the way a big THANK YOU to ALEXIS!!!) ride we had dinner, got to do some visiting with family we hadn't seen in a while, grandpa gave a speech before we did the auction and then it was off to bed. So in the middle of the night around 2 or 3 in the morning there was this HUGE, I'm talken HUGE LIGHTING and THUNDER STORM, completely equipped with HAIL, RAIN and yes of course WIND. Oh did I mention that we were in a TENT sharing an air mattress with our children, yes we love them!! We all sleep on it the short way so Mine and Glen's feet were hanging over the edge of the mattress all night. Anyway back to the LIGHTING AND THUNDER STORM AT 3 in the MORNING. So I wake up completely preparing myself for one of my kids to wake up and FREAK OUT, I look over at Kimberly and she just barely looks up at me and then nozzles her way back into her sleeping bag and pulls the top over her head, Levi looks completely asleep through the whole storm and Glen, oh my dear sweet husband is in the corner of the tent, with drips of water beaming onto his forehead and his feet hanging over the side of the bed. Seeing that everyone was fine amongst all of the kayos that was around us I say a little prayer that we could be speared getting struck by all of the lightening around us. In the morning I asked the kids if they heard the thunder and saw the lightening , they said they did that they were a little sacred but that they were okay. I asked Glen about it and he just gave me a look and said, "YES....It was like Chinese torture with the water drops beaming me on the head all night." LOL....poor guy....he's a trooper, but I have to admit it was so funny when he said that! I guess a couple of other people in tents experience the same thing that Glen did. We had a short but fun weekend. Thank you to everyone that helped make a Fun reunion!! Namely Uncle Lane and Aunt Donetta's Family! Big Shout out you guys did a Great job! I didn't take any picture but of the auction, I don't know why but here are a couple.
