Banks Lake 2010

One of the highlights of our summer is going to Bank's Lake with a ton of friends. This year was no exception besides the fact that Sean was out of town and couldn't come. We still had a great time and the weather was perfect.

Plenty of playing on the launch pod:

Brooke taking her first ever ride on a tube behind the Egbert's boat. It was hard getting her off because she was having so much fun. She is with her friends, Kaylee and Riley!:)

The kids were allowed 2 ice creams each while we were here and they enjoyed them to the fullest.

Some of my Beautiful friends! Kristin, Laurie and Jaimee

Sometimes the kids were a little cranky after a full day of play and Caleb had enough after this long day!

Plenty to Kayaking around the lake:

One morning when it wasn't too hot we all went to a local Junior High and had a fun game of baseball. There was about 50 players and it was a ball!

Terrance brought his kite and the kids watched him fly it.

Yes, I look tired. This was a lot of work!

Connor got up on the wake board with any problems and had a blast. He is a pro now!

Cierra wasn't quite experienced but still managed to get up and have fun!

Brooke hanging out with her best buddy, Kaylee!

Kelsey always does all the girl's hair and Cierra is always first in line to get it done!

Late night talks!

Brooke doing what she does best...... Being cute!

No camping trip is complete without a night of smores!

more launch pod fun!

Brooke wishing me luck as I head out to ski.

I had a blast and was very sore the next few days. Jen got some better pictures with her camera so I may add those once I get them from her. This is all I had.

Cliff jumping is another favorite and we all love to do it.

Brooke jumping off the little 5 footer.

I, of course have to try it once or twice. It is a ton of fun!

Dave can do all sorts of tricks and it was amazing to watch him!!

Cierra attempted to climb the high cliff and had to be taking back down because she was too scared. I was so glad since I was watching from another cliff and couldn't yell loud enough for her to get down. Scared me to death. That girl isn't afraid of a lot of things!

Just before we left we did one last run on the tubes. The kids had a blast and I had a heart attack watching them! I had to be dropped off because I couldn't handle it and I was getting "boat" sick!

Kaylee flew way up into the air and landed like this!

They all re-surfaced! Phew!

Becky was so mice to take a little ride with Brooke. She was a little afraid after watching the big fall! Kaylee went along for the ride!

We had a awesome time and was sad to leave. We look forward to next year when we can do it all over again!

The Green Beans!

Brooke started T-ball a few weeks ago and she is having a lot of fun. She really doesn't quite "get" the concept of baseball but likes to play with her friends. And she happens to have 10 friends on the team. (8 of them are girls!) Brooke has done some much running around with all the activities her 2 sisters and brother are in, it is nice that she has something just for her!
