How many pictures does it take to get 4 kids and 1 grandma smiling at the camera?

Apparently more than 13 because that is how many times I tried and we never did get it!

While my sister Mary and I were in California we tried to get a nice picture of the 4 cousins with their great grandma Butler. They kids had just eaten a good lunch, a yummy dessert (Jackson wouldn't part with his for the picture) and they were getting ready to go swimming. You would think it would be pretty easy to get them to smile~ we were wrong!

Family trip to Lake Tahoe

It's time to play catch up! And I have waaaaay too many pictures to catch up one at a time, so I am going the slide show route to share some of our wonderful memories with everyone. This is a small fraction of pictures from our Southwick family reunion at Lake Tahoe. We had a great time hiking, playing games, swimming/biking/kayaking/playing at the lake, hanging out in the hot tub, playing guitar hero, eating, celebrating birthdays and taking pictures!!!!! Enjoy! More to come.....
