A Mini Family reunion- Banner Creek 5-23-09

Well Wayne, Branden and I made it to Banner Creek in Holton about an hour later than we were supposed to be there. Which should not have been a surprise to anyone, but it was actually perfect timing. The food was just being finished. Branden stayed sleeping in the running vehicle so he was be well rested for a day of fun. The nap didn't last much longer after we arrived. Everyone ate and visited.

Then Wayne, Angie and I decided to walk Branden and Jeremy down to the lake. We hadn't brought our swim clothes cause we weren't planning on being at the lake very long. But once we walked down the boat ramp the boys really wanted to walk in the water. So we took stripped them down. Branden was the first to get completely wet. He lost his balance and toppled head first and loved it. It took awhile for Jeremy to warm up to the idea of playing in the water but once he did, he loved it too.

Ang and I always take a self portrait.

And here I am about to take Wayne down cause he was not being very nice to me. But neither of us went in.

Papa brought the camera down for us and watched us play.

Wayne was about ready to head back to the rest of the group and needed a hand getting up so Branden came to the rescue. Branden on the other hand wanted to go back in the water. We convinced the boys we would come back later. Which won't be for another 3 weeks but they might not remember that. We went back to the shelter and hung out for a little while and visited and then had to head home for the rest of our fun day. It was a fun day at the lake and great to see everyone who made it. The only request was for a bit more of a breeze. It was 88 degrees when we left the lake. It's gonna be a hot summer.
