We had a fabulous time in Okoboji over the 4th of July with the Davidson crew. The evening we got there I pulled out my camera to start taking pics only to find my camera battery completely dead! UGH! Of course the charger was at home, 3.5 hours away. So I didn't get too many pics, but I did learn a good lesson....to keep my charger in my camera bag! :)
Chris and Kim are getting married at the end of September and asked Stella and Porter to be in their wedding. The kids are super excited!! Kim had cute little poems made up asking them to be in the wedding and gifts for them also. The kids found the packages within 3 minutes of being at the lake, no joke. If there is a gift with their names on it, it's safe to say it will be found in record time!! :)
Here is the happy couple with the Wild Ones.
The morning of the 4th of July we headed over to the Sunset Beach neighborhood to partake in the annual foot parade. It's always a great time. :)
Family photo after the parade. Also, you can kind of see the shirts the kids are wearing in this photo. Steve and Chris made shirts that same Team Boji on the front with a photo of all the grandkids from last year on the tube being pulled behind the boat. On the back is a beautiful sunrise view from the lake house looking onto West Okoboji Lake and it also has each individual childs name on their shirt. They are really cool. Of course I had high hopes to get all 5 kids in a group shot wearing their shirts, which didn't happen! :(
The STL Davidson crew arrived in the afternoon on the 4th. The grandkids had SO MUCH fun all playing. It was great seeing them all together.

The next morning Mike, Steve and the kids went out on a guided fishing trip with a local fishing guru. The girls stayed out the entire time, over 4 hours! Here are Stella and Mike before taking off.
Steve and Linda were kind enough (and Brave enough!) to offer to take all the kids out for dinner one evening so the rest of the adults could go out for dinner alone (read: ordering off a menu that does not include chicken strips and french fries). We all had a wonderful evening!! :) Wish I would of gotten a group shot of the 6 of us....maybe next year! :)

For some reason, a lot of your pics didn't show up. But what I did see looked like a ball! The shirts sound really cool! The parade is a great tradition! So cool the whole family could b together!
The kids all look so big! I'm sure they loved being together & it's so nice that Linda & Steve took them all out for a night! That's exciting for the kids to get to be in Chris's wedding!!
