The Grainger/Means weekend bash!

My friend Laura and her husband Chris invited us to their house this weekend on our way home from California. James and I were super excited to see them again (after having dinner together last saturday before our reunion) and we were looking forward to getting our kids together. We left Escondido early friday morning and arrived in Heber City, UT around 8pm. We set off a bunch of fireworks that night, then the adults played scattergories while the kids watched a movie. After the kids went to bed, we got to play Wii bowling, tennis and boxing. James beat me up in the boxing match...thanks hun! On saturday, we headed out to the lake on their boat and we played around on the boat for the afternoon. Later that night, we ate some yummy fish burritos, put the kids to bed, and played more Wii (we gotta get one of those, they're fun!). We had to leave this morning to head back to Denver; and despite the sunburn and sore muscles (from the lake) we had a blast. Thanks Chris and Laura, for everything. We hope you had as much fun as we did.




Kaylin and Justin tubing on the lake. They had a lot of fun on that thing.
Mommy and Mia. Poor baby had to wear a bulky life jacket. She didn't mind; she loved sucking on it.
Laura and Abby.
Fireworks!!!

My kids kept begging Chris for more.
All the kids (minus Abby and Mia) playing Wii. Jack loved Anna and Allison, even though he's shooting Alli.

Jack and daddy playing in the water.

I don't have any pictures of Andrew because my camera died and he was being a chicken. He didn't want to go into the water at all! I also got brave and went tubing with Laura (which is why i'm so sore). I'll try to get that picture from laura at some point.
