Pineview

Every summer the Vandersteen's get together for a week of boating up at Pineview Reservoir. Last summer was the first time we weren't able to go so we were looking forward to this year even more. We had 13 adults and 13 kids split between two condos and had a great time. (Everyone but Josh's stepbrother and family and a brother-in-law were able to come.) We got our fill of birthday's, boat rides, tube rides, wake boarding, fire drills, rope swings, beautiful scenery, cool nights, delicious food and good company.

McKay and Brooke even came up for a day :)

This is Zion, the oldest nephew on the Vandersteen side. He loved helping with Kiara; carrying her around, playing with her, helping her get snacks... I can only imagine what it would be like to have a 10 year old at home. I think if possible the Tippetts would have taken Kiara home with them : )

Kiara loved swimming in the lake as long as someone had an arm around her. 

Two of the kids had birthdays while we were there. One night there were balloons for everyone to play with. Kiara loved them and didn't even mind when one popped in her face.

Notice how despite the balloons the kids still managed to be drawn in by the Incredibles.

We LOVED seeing everyone and miss you all already. Hopefully it won't be another two years before we can all get together again!
