Griffeth Family Reunion...A week at the Lake

Six years ago a tradition was started...one week at a Lake with the entire Griffeth Family. Six years ago there were 9 adults and 2 children. This summer there were 8 adults and 8 children (we were missing Grant, Alyssa and Olivia). Every summer we seem to grow in numbers and every summer we add a new element of fun to our family traditions. Last week was our annual Griffeth Family Reunion at Lake Wedowee and as always there was good food, lots of games, lots of time in the Lake, lots of time in the pool, and of course lots of laughter and fun. My kiddos look forward to this week all year long. It is so fun to see cousins that we don't get to see very often and to spend an entire week enjoying their company. It is also fun to see how everyone has grown since the last year and the new dynamics a year in growth can make. For example, this year Trey and Nate got along great and were best buds most of the week. Here are some of the highlights in pictures:

Wes got the award for best spills during the week (this is him biffing it while tubing, he also biffed it with Nate on the tube, and finally he totally drank lake showing off on the kneeboard)

Yep, that is me skiing! Not only did I ski, but I kneeboarded for the first time successfully!

Grandpa and Adison were pals on the golf cart

Wes striking a pose before biffing it!

Kendal also kneeboarded for the first time! You go girl!

Bayley kneeboarding...she is definitely a lake junkie!

Trey on the boat...he preferred the jet ski rides the most last week. He love jumping the big waves that the boat provided!

Jeff and Adison...I wish they made infant life jackets more comfortable. She loved it as long as the boat was moving.
