Lake Wedowee 2008


The Thornton Kids

The Griffeth Family

Just about every summer, the Griffeths (my side of the family) try to get together during the summer months and play at the lake. This year our "reunion" was held at Lake Wedowee, which is about 40 minutes from my house. We were thrilled that my three brothers, their wives and kids were able to come and play at "our" lake this time around. My parents rented a beautiful 5 bedroom, 3 bath house with it's own dock, huge porches, great kitchen, and 2 family rooms. It was just about perfect. Each family was able to have their own bedroom and everyone got to sleep in a bed...even my girls. We played lots of games, ate lots of great food, and of course spent most of our days out on the water. I've had more than one person comment on how nice it is that my extended family is close enough that we would enjoy staying in the same house for an entire week together. We really do have a good time and of course great memories of the times that we have been able to spend together on lake vacations.

Bayley probably spent the most time on the tube at the lake...she had a great time!

Trey played bully with his younger cousins...sorry Nate and Olivia, it won't be long until you all can give it right back to him.

Kendal didn't let a broken arm keep her from holding Baby Spencer

We can't wait for next year's Griffeth Lake Vacation! Thanks for a fun week!
