Neal's family gathers together at Bear Lake every year for a family reuinion. We usually spend a whole day playing on the beach and in the water, and then we camp at a nearby KOA. By dinner time of the last day, all the kids are crying and the parents are exhausted, but it is still a time we enjoy together. Here are the three cousins the same age (Caleb, Halle, and Nixon) playing in the kiddie pool their older cousin, Jared kindly built for them.
This is Halle with her older cousin, Jared, towing her around in the water. She wanted so badly to go out and play with him in the deeper water. And by deep, we mean just deep enough to float on the tube because the water is shallow quite far into the lake. So Neal said she could as long as she held on tight to Jared, and she did even though she couldn't do much more than lay there in that life jacket.
And we were all so glad that Uncle Al came because we don't get to see him very often. All the kids had to have their turn "riding" his bike and trying on the helmet.
