Okoboji

My mom's side of the family had a reunion in Okoboji in June.  We had lots to celebrate!  My cousin Lauren graduated high school, my cousin Lindsey graduated from Iowa State, Allen and I are both finishing our masters this summer, my Aunt Heidi celebrated her 40th birthday and James joined the family.  I told you we had lots to celebrate!  It was a great weekend filled with lots of good food, family and making memories. This was also the first time James got to meet my Aunt Heidi and her family as well as my Grandpa Pete.

Zeb drove us up on a Friday night after a ball game.  We arrived in Spencer at 2:30am, but it was worth it because James slept through the whole drive up there.  We were not quite so lucky on the ride home:(

James loves the water at home, so I thought we would give the lake a try.  He did not like that idea at all.  The water was way too cold for him, but we stuck his toes in just a bit.  However, he didn't mind the boat ride or the giant life jacket that accompanied it!  I put most of the pics up on facebook, but here are a few from our weekend.
