Shuswap 2012 - picture overload

We had an amazing Summer.  The weather was beautiful.  Just when it was TOO hot, it would rain for one day to cool things off and then it was 30+ again.  Can't complain at all!!  There were hardly any mosquitos this year too!  The water was REALLY high and flooded out Sicamous where we store our boats.  There was a lot of junk in the water because it was so high, but it didn't stop it.  Instead we had to dodge logs in the water while we skiied!

Of course there are an overload of pictures here, in no particular order.

Here's all the Gibb grandkids...then of course we welcomed baby Tyler at the end of August, and another on the way in December.

Cody knee boarding.  We couldn't get him to get past his fear of skiing.  One day....

I am glad my family is so close.  All the cousins are such good friends and get along so good!

Mylee informed me the other day that Tammy is the best marshmallow roaster.  We roasted hot dogs the other night in Calgary and Mylee had to call Tammy to come over to roast her a marshmallow because she is the best at it! 

The Lily Pad...this was one of the new favorites this summer.  All it is, is a foam mat that you can run on.  It is like running on a water bed!

 Matchy, matchy!!!

 Mylee had some friends come visit and they played in the water nonstop! 

 Jaden's latest trick...ski's that are not attached!  She really enjoyed skiing this year.  In years past I had to bribe her, but now she just did it because she thought it was fun!

This tree fort my brothers made when they were about 8 years old.  It is still holding up and now it is the secret hidout to go shoot the cross bow, BB gun, and bow & arrows.

 Mylee adores all her cousins.

 Can't wait to take this picture when these boys have muscles and you can't see their ribs!  Jordan (8), Weston (8.5), Cody (7) and Carter (6)...oh boy...my Cody is going to be a giant!

Just chillin' in the summatime!

 Jaden perfecting her dives.

I love those lazy summer days. 

 Cliff jumping...

 The new toy this summer...a paddle board.  In my opinion, they are over-rated!  So we started towing it behind the boat and the kids would try to stand on it while going.

Mylee burying Black Jack's ball.  We need to get that girl a dog.  She needs a friend at home this year as she is home for another year before she starts school.

Knee boarding on boogie boards. It turned in to bumper boards. They would try to knock the other person off by bumping into eachother.
