Last August the Pitchers all met at Flathead Lake for a little vacation. We stayed in a house right by the water, which was great, and we rented a boat for most of the days. We spent a lot of time skiing and wakeboarding.

I skied, wake boarded, and slalomed. Here is me wakeboarding:
My cousin Janae let us borrow her ez ski so that the boys could try it out. Conner loved it. He kept asking us to go faster. That went well until he crashed and then he wasn't very happy. After a day he tried again though:
Alan was the first one to try it. He enjoyed it until he leaned too far to one side and fell over. After that he was very nervous on it:
Dad skiing:
On the last day we went for a hike. It was rainy and cool:
Alan and Conner went ahead with the advance party. The kindly wrote the word "lunch" out of sticks and pointed the way so that we could join them:
We stopped at the lake and ate lunch but we were all getting cold so we didn't stop for long. We turned around and trooped back:
Reed has a banana suit made and appearance. He actually went skiing in it:
The beach by the house was rocky but we still enjoyed it:
Drew and Alan on the tube
Micah, Carissa and Conner on the tube. Micah held on with a death grip, despite the fact that we went pretty slow. Conner maintained a bored pose:

Brooklyn trying on shoes:
Brittany brought some water bottles for the kids to decorate:
Reed joined us half way through the week:
Brooklyn worked on her climbing skills on the play house in the backyard:
They had a couple of paddle boards that came with the house. The boys really enjoyed paddling around the dock:
Looks like Brooklyn caught herself:
We love spending time together!:
