Bear Lake with the Iversons

We just got back from our big summer trip to Utah. We got to go to Bear Lake with Ben's family for their bi-annual reunion -- and almost all of us were there (we missed you, Paul and Brooke!). Let me tell you, the Iversons sure know how to throw a party!

New babies - Sam and Michael are 2 months apart, but they're wearing the same size! By coincidence, they ended up wearing identical outfits 3 times!

Ellis was spoiled with his own king size bed. Look how he chose to use the extra space.

Minute to Win It - we were the yellow team.

You would think that between Ben, me, and our gene pool, we would be able to conjure up enough physical skill and coordination to get at least 4th place (out of 5). Well, you'd be wrong!

We had fun anyway.

Woo hoo! Waterskiing on scenic Bear Lake!

Is that David Hasselhoff, by chance?

And wave running!

Henry's first time tubing. He was fearless!

At many moments 90% of the children were mesmerized by the TV. I loved how all of them got into Just Dance, even when it wasn't their turn.

Highland Games! Dan braved the kilt and showed off his AMAZING Scottish accent for this fun activity and tribute to Mom & Dad Iverson's mission.

We thought it was appropriate that this purple thistle (Scotland's official flower for significant reasons) was growing on the grounds of our Highland Games.

Wow! Who is that lady with the impressive Caber Toss skills?

These darling girls (mostly Sierra) offered to hold Sam about 4,000 times over the course of the week. He loved it!

Check out the three babies born this year: Samuel, Michael, and Sadie. This is why we appreciated Sierra so much. There was a lot of baby-holding involved with these three around.

Here's the whole group! I feel so lucky to have been adopted into this family!
