Lake Almanor was as GREAT as last year only we weren't able to stay as long. Really, this year's post will look a lot like last year's.
While at the lake we did NOT:
Have a computer,
Watch TV,
Use our phones (much),
Worry about the time,
Go to bed early or get up early,
Get as sunburned as last year - we learned our lesson,
Do our hair or wear make-up for 4 whole days (well, at least I didn't),
Have to cook as much - we took turns between the 3 families,
Count calories,
OR Hear "I'm bored".
Dallin just couldn't wait to try knee boarding again.
The tube got dragged around the lake more than a few times.
Cameron spent a lot of time just floating around on his own tube.
Dallin, Jayden, Allison, Landon, Cameron, and Hayden ready to hit the open water.
The "Wave Runners" got a lot of use.
Jayden added to and guarded that shell collection for several days.
Dallin did his fair share of kickin' back.
And, so did Landon.
The "neighbor's" trampoline was another popular spot.
The kids had a sand castle competition going on that carried over a couple of days. Of course, the dads had to get in on it to "tweek" it just a bit.
I think that canoe logged at least a hundred miles - a good physical outlet for the kids, too.
Night time was all about games - night games on the lawn, card games...
and "Just Dance" competitions on the Wii.
No trip with cousins would be complete without the "couch picture" right before we leave.

All of your pictures are so great! I'm glad that you all had a great time together! :) I'm glad your home though...
Yes the trip wasn't long enough this year. Even the kids made mention of that. Floating around in the water was spectacular. The weather was perfect, so were the friends and family. If we go again next year, which I am completely hoping for, we will stay for much longer. The hope is to explore the Chester/Lassen National Forest a bit. Such beautiful country. Thank you to the Bonino's for sharing there cabin/WONDER LAND.
