Happy Days

Leonard Family Vacation Highlights

All of us Leonard's got together to celebrate Liz's 50th Birthday which was way back in June. We don't all get together very often, so I had been looking forward to this for quite a while!

Day 1

Playing by the lake

This is Danny's face when he goes around water. He's not sure what to think about it yet.

But he sure likes the sand!

And the award for cutest couple goes tooooo...

Carl and Jordan celebrated their first anniversary, so they brought their cake top of course!

Here's what it looked like. Carl was scared to eat it, and I don't blame him.

I can't believe it has been a year! It feels like Carl has been a part of the family for much longer though. I love being around them, and seeing their love for one another.

Here's what it looked like a year ago. Definitely the BEST cake Nick and I have ever made!

Day 2

Sunset Dinner Cruise

If you're ever in Coeur d'Alene, and don't know what to do, I would REALLY recommend doing this for dinner. It was two hours long, they serve great food, and the view was amazing!

Chris and Stephanie

Aren't they cute? It is always so fun to see these two. They live in Utah, so it is a rare occasion to be with them. Danny had fun playing with them. They will be great parents someday!

My favorite picture from our trip.

Danny had so much fun on the dinner cruise. He's really in to pointing out boats on the water, which is funny because I don't think he realized he was actually on one : ). He was wide eyed the whole time!

The whole crew (except Liz. I think she was getting a drink of water). Steven's face is funny!

Dan and Liz taking in the beautiful view.

We are so grateful for their willingness to take us all on vacation. I can tell their favorite thing in the whole world is to be with their kids and grand baby. They do so much for us, and all they ask in return is quality time together.

Steven and Jordan. Soon to be pen pals.

Steven is getting his papers ready for a mission.

Close tie for cutest couple ; ).

We ended the day by celebrating Carl's B-day! Thanks Carl for having a birthday, so that we could have ICE CREAM CAKE!!!

Day 3

Silverwood

I didn't get very many pictures on this day. It's hard to carry a camera when you're getting wet!

Danny still wasn't a fan of the water, but he LOVED watching the roller coasters zoom by. He would wait so patiently for them to come. I've never seen him so still while he's awake!

Day 4

Jet Skiing!

Most of us had never been jet skiing so we had a blast. Nick stayed out on one pretty much all day. The first time I went out with him, I wouldn't let him go over 30 mph. But Nick of course had to test my limits, so by the end of the day we were going 40 and 50. It was so fun!

We took some family pictures of all of us. So if my hair looks good, I'll be posting those later ; ).

I've decided that Coeur d'Alene is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

(All of these pictures were taken with my i-phone. Not bad eh?)
