Last but not least

The third and final installment of our month of reunions. 

The shirts say it all.

The little red cardinal is in honor of my grandmother who passed away last spring.  

Her favorite bird was the cardinal.

We played some more "minute-to-win-it"

Laughed our heads off at each other.

Went to Bear Lake again.

Ate more food than our bellies could eat.

Screamed down the mother of all slip-n-slides. (Imagine a sod farm in the river bottoms.  Then imagine the coolest homemade water slide of all time.)

(Three cheers for my 80 + year-old grandpa who has instilled a sense of adventure and adrenaline in all of us.  I don't know if we'd have so much fun if we didn't all get a little of his genes.)

Had a huge sleep-over in the Israelsen cabin.

My beautiful mother planned it all, and it was a success.

Thank heaven for families.   

(If you click on the last picture of the water slide you can see my mother and Edith in stop-motion sliding down the hill.)
