Hello :)
I've decided to write a little update while my handsome husband is preparing his lesson for tomorrow. The topic of this blog update is about the highlight of my summer
QUINN FAMILY REUNION
Mom and Dad fell in love and then had six kids and those 8 turned into 22.5 and we all got together last week which almost never happens because we all all so spread apart. My family is super cool and it was so perfect i'm still feeling a little sad that its over and it ended a week ago.
Brian and Sarah found a house for us to rent in Bear Lake. Bear Lake is famous for their raspberries apparently.. and there is a lake there.. So our only plans were to pick raspberries and go to the lake. The rest of the fun came from what we do best! Eating.. and laughing. :) A lot of both actually.
It was perfect! Even the drive there was perfect!
Seriously I love Idaho.
We all arrived at different times on Monday. It had been raining on and off all day but thankfully it cleared up enough for us to walk down to the beach. To be perfectly honest I think we went there anticipating that there would be a man on the beach in a little shack ready to make us milkshakes. Because.. Brain said there would be, but unfortunately there was no man in a shack. Despite the disappointment.. we enjoyed the sunset on the beach :)
Following the sunset we found a guy in a shack to make us milkshakes. Kind of.
The next couple of days were spent doing whatever we pleased. Some people watched Monsters Inc. One of my very favorite movies. Some people enjoyed sharing youtube videos.. My oldest niece showed us one that I thought was especially awesome. There was a little controversy about this video. The video is about peanut butter cups, and the person talking about the peanut butter cups is mimicking some general authorities. Some members of the family thought it may be crossing a line of respect. And I see their point, but Michael and I agree that if the men that were mimicked watched this video they would get a kick out of it. So I have decided I don't feel bad about sharing it with you guys. Seriously I think it is awesome.
We also spent a good amount of time at the beach! One day the weather was pretty crummy but we didn't let the weather stop our fun.
The Bear Lake part of the week ended on Thursday. My oldest Brother Bill left that morning morning to go back home and the rest of us went back to Pocatello. Marsha left on Saturday, Michael and I left on Sunday and I cried the whole way back to Rexburg.
All I can say is I am so thankful for a forever family.
I LOVE it when we are all together & I wish we could be more often. The plan is to gather again in two years. I am already so excited!! But two years is a long time..
Trust me. I know.
Well, Michael is done planning his lesson! So i'm gonna go be with him. :)
Goodnight everyone! :)
