raspberry picking with the edwards girls

Lake Roosevelt

10 adults + 11.5 kids + a freezing cold lake + a 6 hour drive

+ the most delicious food + 6 days of sunshine and one thunderstorm = a ton of fun.

Eight years ago a group of us went rented a house boat and spent a week on Lake Roosevelt. That was before 9.5 of these kids were even born. We decided to venture back this time taking everyone along and renting a house that had nine bedrooms. It was a great week of floating, boating, tubing, fishing, eating, and fire building. The kids loved every second of it.  Here are the photo highlights…

This picture is a total classic. I love it.

Cousins and Cousins and More Cousins

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was watched over and over on this trip. Kyla was not afraid of it and now wants a TMNT birthday party!

Water sports were also a favorite on this trip. All the girl LOVED the jet ski (including Molly who called it a motorcycle). Kyla could not get enough tubing and would have done it all day long. Heidi did it several times but was never the same after a fall into the ice cold water.

Me and Taryn.

A super fun trip. Memories for sure.

new favs…

I did photos a couple of nights ago for a family from church that I’ve taken photos for several times. This is a family of seven and this photo shoot happened to be just the baby of the family. He was happy and oh so cute and I have a few new favorite photos.
