A week on Lake Roosevelt!

Welcome to the lake house where we came with the whole Spear clan for a week. First we have to set up some tents cause the family is too big to fit in the house. (17 Spear's total to be exact)

Sunday was a raining day, which was ok for a Sunday. Here we are at the boat launce.
We went to the boat launch to get out of the house and to throw rocks in the lake. The adults got a bigger kick out of it then the kids....figures!!

Monday was a little chilly but the rest of the week was great. On the beach we found a crab... I think. Don't worry we didn't cook it for dinner.

Here we are on the beach. It was a little bit of a steep walk down from the cabin, and by a little I mean I did not feel bad about eating that second brownie because I knew I had more than worked it off on the way up the hill.

There was a lot of relaxing on the beach which was very pretty.

Jon pitching to Brandon.

Go Brandon!! He was really good!! The whole family got a woofell ball game started every day after lunch on beach. It was super fun even for me (Missy) who is not good at sports.

Missy and Katie, Kathleen and Tanner all ridin' in the tube. Go faster!!!

We even went fishin'. Here is Brandon teaching Jon how to fish!

Here fishy fishy fishy.......

Jon really wanted to catch something but sadly enough we went home without one.

Katie, Kathleen and Brandon on the swing up by the house.

When we first arrived it was no burn anywhere on the lake but after the rain we figured it was ok. Here is Jon tending the fire...... "Wake up Jon no sleepin' on the job."

Ooooooooooooooo Fire

Makin' smores too.

Such a tough day Jon hung up his hamic from Brazil and took a snooze.


Jon was the person train all week long for the three monsters (Brandon, Katie and Kathleen)

I even tried wakeboarding behind the waverunner. It was fun!

Hit it!! I got up and rode around for a bit but then took a spill before getting back into the picture area!!

Here is Jon wakeboarding....he is much better than me, but then again I could be better but not have pictures to prove it.


Then Jon took a big bucket and starting making a sand castle. It took a few tries to get the big bucket of sand to stay standing!!

Once we got it figured out we made a couple of them and made a little royal palace.

Jon and I took bets on who would knock it down. I said Katie, he said Brandon. But we were both wrong little Cody did it instead.

Here I am cleaning up in the tent. The tent was very good to us for the week. We had a lot of fun listening to the rain at night and getting some 'quiet time' and watching House!

At the end of a long week at the lake we said good bye and went home for a nice shower and a real bed!!
