Splash Fest 2011

I have so much to blog about (gymnastics, ballet, summer day trips, Caitlin's OBSESSION with wearing sunglasses).....the summer is so busy!

A few weekends ago was Bass Lake Splash Fest, the festival weekend at the lake.  It's always so busy, and so much fun!  This year I added a little "twist"...the Bass Lake 5K.  Usually I run the race, but this year I RAN (as in "was in charge") of it.  It added a little chaos to the weekend, but I had AMAZING volunteers (all happen to share a last name) to help me...and I'd say we pulled off a successful race with 58 runners signed up, but 122 runners participating!

The rest of the weekend was spent doing what we love to do the most:  relaxing!  There was pop n wines, golf, water slides, sand boxes, beaches, fireworks, parades, and LOTS of swimming!!!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend (you always know when you are having too much fun when you forget to get the camera):

The CHAOS that was the 5K race (check out one of my volunteers...doesn't he look so cute in his safety vest....it was SERIOUS!)
