i know, usually people do a top 10 list. while 10 is great, i figured 11 is even better!! here they are in no particular order:
#11 ~ we had a lot of fun with family!!
#10 ~ swimming was a priority when staying at the hotel for the wedding. although lauryn made a show of getting in her swimsuit & heading down to the pool with everyone, she only played a little in the shallow water. isaac had fun swimming with cousin keali'i & friend kole.
#9 ~ isaac had a blast fishing with grandpa. we all spent a day on the beach of lake sakakawea playing in the sand, fishing, & snacking. it was a perfect day ~ 75 degrees, clear skies, no breeze! 
#8 ~ see how much fun lauryn had eating some pudding??
#7 ~ bubbles are always entertaining...
#6 ~ comfy shoes...
the entire wedding party wore black converse sneakers for the ceremony, reception, & dance ~ how cool is that??
#5 ~ we had a hard time fitting in fun with friends ~ we just seemed to run out of time! we were lucky to have former las vegans, the fitzpatricks, drive to minot to spend some time with us. we miss them!!! then dennis & i spent an evening with friends, laughing it up!!! the guys are all friends from high school. they love to tell their "old" stories (yep, we're old now) from back in the day. i can actually retell them myself since i've been hearing them for 16 years now. :) anyway, they are such a fun group to hang out with.
#4 ~ i witnessed my mom ALMOST getting a hole in one...
so close, but yet so far...
#3 ~ the kids & i tag along with the golfers...there are usually ladybugs to be found.
#2 ~ summer at the lake isn't complete without s'mores!!
g'pa & isaac & lauryn waiting patiently to start on s'mores...
skewering the marsh-pillows (an isaacism)...
toasting the marsh-pillows...
OOPS! i forgot to take a picture of us eating them ~ guess my hands & mouth were full!
#1 ~ and the main reason we decided to go to north dakota in june...
our little jordy was getting married!! jordan is our niece whom we adore so it was hard to see her grow up. but we are very happy for jordan & adam & know they will receive many blessings in their marriage. the wedding was beautiful!! my mother-in-law & sister-in-law, rissa, made the topsy~turvy wedding cake. it was delicious!! isaac was the ring bearer & did a fantastic job. lauryn had a blast dancing with all of the other "princesses" at the dance. 
Bikes be gone.

Oh! We didn't know when you guys would be around, Miss 15 would have loved to see Isaac and Lauren. She remembers them from last time you were at the house and just asked about them yesterday. Maybe next time you come home!
Oh, that cake. Jordan said she liked it. She's so sweet.
your blog wears me out just looking at it. what a great trip. when we get our place in minot, and you're having breakfast with us most days, it'll be easier to let everyone else have some of your time, too. ;)
