My family spent the end of July at Lake Ouachita for the 28th time.
We love these days so much.

Silly! |
|
With Dad and my brothers and sisters. |
|
Lake Bags filled with fun things for all the girls. |

Lake Bags filled with fun things for all the boys! |
|
Big kids helping little kids. |
|
Pretty sure this one will become a painting soon. |
|
One of three quilts my nieces made from their mother's t-shirts. What a flood of memories! |
|
Celebrating the newest little Powell. |
|
The best part of a boat ride is jumping out. |
|
Jumping out never gets old. |
|
Watching swimmers means counting heads again and again.
|
|
Cutie! |
|
Every family member age 6-91 is responsible for helping to prepare one meal.
|
|
Yum! |
|
Men cooking steaks!
That's my son Andrew, my dad, and my brother Anthony. |
|
The younger kids made jello and punch for a lunch. |
|
Great work, kids!. |
|
The big boys make banana pudding for another lunch. |
|
Food prep is serious business. |
|
I love that EVERYone does his/her part. |
|
The big girls make lunch. |
|
It takes a lot of sandwiches to feed 25 kids and 25 adults. |
|
He can still toss a horse shoe at 91! |
|
I love that all ages enjoyed the horse shoes. |
|
I look like I know what I'm doing. HA! |
|
My daughter-in-law's the bowler... works for horseshoes too. |
|
Woo Hoo! A ringer for Tom! |
|
Woo Hoo for the little guys! |
|
We tried to find a level place, but... |
|
My husband & son... Skipping rocks off The Point is a long-time tradition for them. |
|
Who put squirt guns in the Lake Bags? Oh... I guess it was me! |
|
And some of the Lake Bags had nail polish! Pretty! |
|
Ron has been playing catch with that particular nephew since... forever. |
|
These girls are about ready to learn to ski. |
|
Aunt Kittie brought things to make custom hair bows! |
|
Beautiful! |
|
Must have been pretty serious... "No, you may not go to the pool alone" or "Yes, you must wear a life jacket" or No, you may not have 5 dumb dumbs in your mouth at once" or "Yes, you'll get to help with a meal after you go to kindergarten." |
|
Little boys + a mud hole + a little freedom = ??? |
|
Happy cousins! |
|
Pizza on the night before The Lake officially began. |
|
Uncle Curt always has a board game going. |
|
Ahhh... favorite spot. |
|
I can only imagine the conversation between these little cousins. |
|
He's probably saying, "Look. People are always going to tell you how beautiful your hair is. You'll get used to it." |
|
Special time together. |
|
Love being at this place with this guy! |
There was a difference for me this time.
Since I've retired, I didn't need to think about getting ready for the school year as I returned home.
... Happy...
Kids are adorable
