Bass Lake Festival 2009

We had a wonderful weekend at the annual Bass Lake Festival. It's a fun weekend at Rob's parents cabin full of different activities around the lake (fireworks, parades, contests, and lots of pop n wines). The best part is every year there is an annual shirt..and everyone wears matching shirts on Saturday (this year is the yellow shirt) and then on Sunday it's a variety of past shirts...so much fun! This year the lake was packed with people, so it was so much fun! We didn't participate as much as we usually do (race, goat drop, fish contest, etc) but Uncle Al did win the photo contest for his picture of a sunset over the lake...Way to go! It's always really special for Rob and me because my parents have come for 4 years...so we have both sets of parents together for the weekend. Everyone had such a great time this weekend!!! I do have to admit that the parents made it up much later than Rob and I...I think we are the "old folks" at the lake! Abigail couldn't have had a better time with all of her family! In addition to both sets of grandparents, she had her great grandparents, her great aunt and uncle, and 2 cousins (2nd cousins I guess)...and a WHOLE lot of attention. Thank you to everyone for the great weekend!!! We look forward to this weekend every year. My camera isn't working (hense the lack of pictures lately) but thank to Aunt Georgeanne for sending hers!!!


Al and Georgeanne's beach at their house!


Abigail and her nana, grandpa, papa, and grandma...what a lucky girl! I think she struck a cute pose too! What a little diva!



Papa teaching Abigail to drive.


A family picture (unfortunately my parents had already left when we thought of doing this)



Abigail with Aunt Georgeanne, Uncle Al, Nana, and Papa (this picture was from 4th of July).
I am working tonight on getting my vacation pictures (well not mine, again my camera isn't working, but my family's pictures) in order and I'm going to do a day by day break down...so check back! Also, thank you so much to Neici...she had the whole 2008 blog printed and put into a book for us so Abigail will be able to see the blog and we'll have it forever! Thank you so much, it was such a great surprise!!! We can't wait to share the book with her one day!!!!

Yes, I have to agree, it was so much fun this weekend. (We missed you, Katie, Julie & Joe Jr.).

You are very welcome for the "2008 Blog Book" I made for you. It was fun pulling it together (even though I made 2 mistakes).

I still have my teal Bass Lake Days shirt!!! I should have worn that all weekend in Chicago. Sorry we missed the exciting weekend - we will have to make sure to save the last weekend of July next summer!!!
