Echo Lake Montana!

I have been slacking this summer on posting so things are a little out of order. We had a Folsom family reunion up at my parents cabin in Montana at the end of July. We had never been to the cabin because they just got it this year. We all loved it so much and the kids just had a blast. The weather was great for swimming and boating! Morgan loved playing in the water with her cousins. My brother has twins that are 7 months old and this is the boy(Nash).
Morgan just loved going everywhere, up and down the big stairs, etc. She absolutely loved roaming everywhere, and it was nice to have the big cousins watching out for her. Max is so cute with her!
Dylan is trying to comfort Henry after their big fall on the coaster cars. The kids would go up and down the driveway taking turns. It turns out that Henry was the winner for the biggest bruises(look at the picture 2 below). Henry kept on wandering off, we found him chasing the neighbors dog down the road. What a crazy little man!Pictures of the cabin from the lake. It was huge and sooooo much fun for everyone!
Here is our little superman. Actually he is posing so that I could take a picture of his bruise on the left side of the forehead(our left). It was huge right after he fell, the picture doesn't do it justice. He was up and playing shortly after it happened.
What a pro, yes that is me in the picture. This is the first time that I had ever tried to kneeboard before, and it was a lot of fun. My little nephew was a pro at doing 360's on it so we all had to try and I actually did it, I was dang proud of myself.
Our big girl wasn't afraid to try the kneeboard after she saw her cousins doing it, and she got up the very first try. We are so proud of her, it was really cute to watch. She was doing tricks like you wouldn't believe. OK I was just kidding about that part, but she was good at it! She was so excited to call her daddy to tell him about her accomplishment.(Jason flew home for a couple days in the middle of the week for work, and then he flew back for some more fun)
This picture was taken at Jasons dads cabin that we went to for a couple of days at the end of our trip. The tube was a hit with the kids, Henry kept on asking to go faster, he loved it. Katelyn got to go on it with Grandma Lorraine, but Grandma was the one that wanted to go slower, he he! Jason and I took our turn on it and I think that Grandpa Hull had the most fun trying to get us off. Good times!
Jason really wanted Katelyn to try waterskiing, so she got the skiis on and then she wasn't too happy about it. She said that they hurt her feet, it was a good try though! Maybe next year!
Jason was so excited when he got up on the wakeboard. It had been a long time since we've gone boating, so it was a new thing for us to try all of these fun sports. It was a blast! We were glad to have daddy there for most of the trip.

Whoa! How fun to see your adventures! That lake looks pretty fun and the cabin seems roomy enough to get lost in:) Glad you had fun but it sure was quiet in the neighborhood without ya!
