This year, the Jacob/Aldred/Garner family reunion was in Bear Lake. We rented a house to accommodate all 36 of us. It was great. It was fun just being with everyone doing whatever. We went to the Minitonka Caves, had a day at the north beach of Bear Lake, got raspberry shakes, had obstacle course races, had a very small talent show, guys went golfing, did a crossfit workout, ate lots of good food and had tons of fun!
3 Amigos. 2 of my brothers decided to grow a mustache 6 mo before the reunion. So here Don is sporting his with Scott and my oldest nephew Garrett.
I guess they come in 3's. Nieces Mykelti, Ashley, and Dallie. All within 6 mo apart! Cute girls!!!

This was a really cool part. We were at the very end of the cave and there was an iron rod to help you walk. Our tour guide happened to be LDS so she shut out the lights and it was PITCH BLACK!!!!! We had to "hold to the rod" to make it back. It was really cool!
I guess we figured it'd be summer inside the caves.......Molly wore flip flops and by the end of the tour, her feet were so cold she could hardly walk. So, I packed her out like a pack mule! Look close you can see her feet inside my pockets.
Warming back up.....Marcus, Bella, Lexi, Molly and me
Tim and Don with their "staches"
The obstacle course.
Each day, my brothers would trim their facial hair just a little to see if anyone noticed.
The day at the beach was PERFECT!!!! It was warm and sunny, no wind, and the kids LOVED it!!!!
Cute niece Layla giving her daddy a mud treatment!
Cute teenage nieces....Kassidy, Daryn and Kelti
This beach was cool because you could walk out pretty far and still touch!
Darling nephew Dax floating his way back to shore!

If you can't match your swimsuits, match your hair.
Apparently you need to rub in "spray" on sunscreen. My poor brother's back was a little tender!
