Lake Shaver with Friends

This is the 8th year we've enjoyed a long weekend vacation with friends. Our early vacations were backbacking trips....can't really do that anymore. Between the 5 couples we now have 7 little ones. Uncle Kit's family owns a great cabin in Lake Shaver and so we enjoyed our 4 day weekend together there. One day we rented a pontoon boat and went out on the lake. The weather was gorgeous. The kids had so much fun jumping in the water!

The guys made a fort for the kids. Look what the fort did to Jude's hair.

Here are our little bundles of love in birth order

The Boys and their Pops (minus Caleb who was napping)
Jonesy is a fun uncle and would make the kids laugh and laugh with his funny faces and gorilla impressions. He and the kids were pretending there was a robber loose (Joe Capricio named by Gabriella). Joe ran by the cabin with a ski mask on and scared us all....but Gabriella knew better. It was only Uncle Jonesy!

This looks fun! Is this the same Shaver Lake we went to over Labor Day? Just east of Reedley? Too funny.
