Lake City Weekend with the nieces and now NEPHEW!!!

The weekend up north with the girls has sort of morphed into a Gable reunion - to a small point. There are about 130 I believe on the Gable side now but - this year - we had a couple 2nd cousins (even though they feel more like 1st cousins) join us. We had a great time even though the weather was completely rotten. Already are looking forward to next summer and have a date set!!!!


Here is the one and only boy (at this point) in my family's 3rd generation. Evan is SUCH a good baby. He literally cries when he's hungry, has a dirty diaper or is tired and needs to be put in his crib to sleep. Otherwise - he'll sit in his bouncy, on the floor, in someone's arms for a couple hours and just watch.... sometimes he'll make it 3 hours even!!!

This was pretty much the weather the first 2 days. It finally broke late in the afternoon of the 2nd day but was only in the mid 60's. At the end of the dock you can see some of the girls swimming. It was pouring and they were out playing on a styrofoam board having a ball. We made them come in a little bit when the wind picked up so we didn't have to jump on a jet ski and go get them in the middle of the lake in the pouring rain but they were having a great time. All us older people were standing inside watching them.

Maya was sporting her new life jacket and enjoying the time up there too.

The girls (l to r - Carly (a 2nd cousin to me and 3rd to the other girls on the board), Jessica and Taylor were challenged to stand on the board for 5 seconds at the same time. They worked for a long time trying to get it. They made it to 4 but not 5.

The whole group of 2nd and 3rd cousins. I don't have one with all of us kids in it - have to wait to get that from my aunt but here is the bunch.... back row l to r - Michael, Makenna and Carly. front row l to r - Roxy, Regina holding an unhappy Evan, Taylor and Jessica holding Maya.
