Shasta Lake

We had an amazing adventure on Shasta Lake with our wonderful friends, the Thompsons, the McDowells, the Cooks and the Hannons. We trecked 11+ hours up to Redding, to share a houseboat on Shasta Lake. Unfortunately, Ryan had school, and wasn't able to join us. We had a chaotic, fun packed vacation!! It was a seriously overdue reunion and we enjoyed every minute!!
The Houseboat: All 26 of us fit in quite snugly.
The water slide...The hot tub...Creative sleeping quarters...The mamas basking in the sun.
Cruis'in the lake...


Cohen, hardly containing his excitement...
Davis, taking a nap. The wind held him up... every time the boat stopped, he would fall over, wake-up, and repeat.

Natural entertainment...
Spending time with friends
Being silly... I am so blessed to have such amazing friends! These ladies are all great mommies, wonderful examples, and so much fun to be around. I love them like sisters.

The grown-ups took a freezing cold, midnight swim... Sleeping through the excitement... Davis taking a quick break... Davis, Lyric and Mom
The 24hr a day life jacket club...

I truly would love to do this every year! My kids are already asking when we can do it again! I know it was so hard for you to make the trip without Ryan but I am so glad you were still able to swing it! Wouldn't have been the same without you. Next time we'll make sure it's when Ryan can come!

Looks like it was a TOTAL blast and a perfect trip! Glad you all were able to do that and spend some quality time together. Not to mention the sweet houseboat with all the fun attached. Cute post!!!
