McCall!!!

Sunday early evening we arrived in McCall.  Parker and I were the first ones there (my sisters and their husbands were driving from Utah and my parents from Oregon) so we enjoyed the beautiful house, scenery, and the peace and quiet.  Here is the view from the deck..

Here is the view from the end of the private dock, this is the back of the house.  I love this house, it's so pretty and you can't beat the location!   

Once everyone got there we went out and grabbed some burgers at a local hamburger place...

Parker doing this cheesy smile...

That night we celebrated my mom's birthday which was the week before.  My sisters and I got her a digital photo frame with pics of the grandkids loaded on it...

 I think she liked it...

 Dana, my mom, me, and Linds...

The rest of the week was pretty much like this: sleep in, sometimes go for a run or bike ride, breakfast, ski while the water is smooth, lay on the dock, ride in the boat, tube, go in for lunch, take a nap, read a book, ski, tube, eat, relax, have dinner, play games, ski, bed.  It was a rough week!  My parents also brought their kayaks which were really fun to paddle around the lake in.  Here's my pa, the king of the boat...

 All the boys getting ready for a crazy tube ride (I don't know why my brother in law always has to pose weird for pictures!)...

 My view laying on a lounge chair on the dock...

Roasting marshmallows around the campfire...and yes, that is a sweatshirt I am wearing.  I LOVED HOW IT COOLS DOWN THERE AT NIGHT!  Frieken Virginia is hot 24/7 in the summer...

 My cute parents getting ready for a bike ride...

 Ah, The Pancake House, one of my favorite places to eat...

 Have I mentioned lately how much I love this man?  LOVED OUR TIME TOGETHER...

The manly men trying to be manly while standing in front of flowers...

 The beautiful women...

Hahaha, before my mom left for one of her bike rides she left this cut up pineapple for us, ever hopeful that we will eat healthy...

 Linds and I ready to tube!  I seriously love tubing!

We finally convinced my older sister to join us and we had SO much fun!  My abs hurt from laughing so hard and the rest of my body hurt from all the times I got dumped!

The funniest part was watching Dana get back on her tube after she would fall off, her arms were so tired she took FOREVER to get back on and Linds and I would try to help her, sometimes resulting in us falling off our tubes...

 Parker getting ready to wakeboard...

 He took a big fall wake boarding but did great before that!

Hahaha, Parker hit himself in the head with a ski which resulted in a bloody gash on his forehead...

 Lindsay and I laying out on the floaties, life is so hard sometimes..

 Ah, Friday, time to say goodbye...SOOO sad to leave!!!

We had such a great week.   It was so fun to all be together without the kids.  It was a week of serenity and relaxation mixed with fun, games, and lots of laughter.  HUGE THANK YOU TO MY MOM AND DAD FOR BEING THE FUNDING, PLANNING, AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE WEEK!  I love you all and miss you already!!!
