Shaw Family Reunion Recap 2011

At the beginning of August, the whole Shaw clan (minus Tan, Es and Benson who was just born the week before) got together at Bear Lake for lots of cousin fun along with boating, swimming, games after the kids were in bed, catching up on everyone's business, hiking through Minitonka caves (with over 880 stairs & lots of little kids)!  We had so much fun and Allie loved getting to know her cousins.  Thanks Mom and Dad for throwing this shindig!  

 Ben and Allie playing connect 4 the 2 year old way, matching colors!
 Chatting away!
 This was the view of the lake from our cabin, such a beautiful place!
 One of the favorite morning rituals, watching disney cartoons
 A happy Ty eating his Lucky Charms
 I cannot believe this beauty is 8!  She acts so old, I remember being 8!
 Too bad I had the morning sun right behind me and got squinty eyes
 This was Hadley's spot while we were at the beach on the lake.  She seemed quite content just playing in the shade

 Allie loved the beach and riding back and forth on the boat.  Every time we took the boat across the lake  from the marina, she fell asleep to the bouncing boat.
 Garlock beauties

 Jenny and I were twinners, but we figured we liked thousands of miles apart, so a couple of matching days wouldn't hurt!
 We casted handprints in the sand 
 Most people didn't get wet because the water was a bit cold
 S'mores were had by all
 These two enjoyed having their family all around them, reading bedtime stories every night to all.
 Hadley didn't get smores, so she just hung out with Dad.
 We all got shakes for Kevin's birthday, that is a lot of grandkids!
We can't wait for next time!
