TraDitioNs!!!!

4th of July!!!!

4th of July just so happens to be one of our favorite holidays! It just might be the look on the kids faces as they parade their way around the island, or the smell of a hamburger sizzling on the grill, the air after a fresh rain shower, or the juicy, sweet red watermelon, the taste of homemade icecream, or the sound of fireworks booming and lighting up the sky, but whatever it is......it makes me smile and appreciate all the little things in life I get to enjoy!!! Island Park! What a beautiful place! We are so lucky we get to go each year to spend nearly 2 whole weeks relaxing, eating, watching movies, boating, eating some more, scrapbooking, exercising, playing games, visiting, oh and did I mention eating!!! Not even kidding! I mentioned exercising because if we didn't after eating all that homemade icecream and raspberry pie every night (among everything else) we just might roll home, and that is not our goal!!!! Really.....it's absolutly, positively without a doubt our families very favorite tradition we have, and we are so grateful to have the oppertunity to enjoy the cabin. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Walker!!!

Evans Family Olympics!

We split up into our own little families and had a little competitive game of the olympics! I can't say there wasn't a little, tiny bit of cheating going on, but what fun would it be if Morgan was on his best behavior??? It's just not in his nature to play fair, and lose.......especially to his brothers!! Not a chance!! We all got a good laugh out of it...let's be honest, we'll never forget that video!! I think I almost peed my pants!! Thanks for keeping us on our toes, babe!!

The mighty hula hoop contest!! You would've paid to see this! It was great! Just take a good look at them!?!

Avorie in all her garb for the olympics! Goooo Avorie!

We all had way too much fun for our own good! I am so blessed to have such wonderful inlaws! It's a dang good thing we all like each other so much because we have spent an awful lot of time together this summer, and I wouldn't change one single minute!! Thanks guys, I love you!!!
