Beaver Lake- 2

Dad, you hit it out of the park on the rentals this year.  We really enjoyed this house on the lake!  Also enjoyed the extra breakfast bowls that aunt Beth bought.

 There's no better way to spend the summer than days on the lake.

 

 Ben and I were excited to find that we can still ski!  We each got up on our own and then took a run together!

Ben skiing:

 

 

 Alison worked on learning to ski.  She did such a great job!

 

 

Ben helped Maggie learn to ski and then I took Rose out for her first time tubing.  She even stood up!

 

 

He may be 9, but he'll always be my baby.

Grandpa spoiled the kids at the marina and several of the cousins got matching shirts.

Colin and Jonathan:

 The Morrissey's left early, but here are all Yoder grandkids before we left.

 Our family took a little detour on the way home, to drive through Oklahoma.  Alison is working on a map and coloring all the states that she's been to.  When she found out we were only 30 minutes from a state she hasn't checked off, she asked if we could possibly change our route.  We stopped at Mickey Mantel's statue and drove by his childhood home to document our time in Oklahoma. 

 Back in Kansas, I met up with Lydia for dinner and Ben took the boys to Allen field house

This picture pretty much sums up our boys right now...Eli is saying, "Why are we here???" and Colin is saying, "This is AWESOME!!!"

 It was a fantastic trip and even better to have time with family!
