Highlights from the lives of Grandma and Grandpa Idaho

We have been a little neglectful in blogging and have a ton to tell and show since our last blog. Now that all the August and September birthdays are past we can blog what we have been up too.
First was the couple reunion we had with my brothers and wives and Grandma Baker It was our turn to decide what to do. I had wanted to have a cabin outting for a long time. It is one of the favorite places we all have as we grew-up so I couldn't think of a better place to bond again as a family. We went up on a Sunday evening shared memories together that night. Had delicious lemon and banana cream pies that Aunt Barbara made for Uncle Gregg's birthday that happened to be that night. The next day we had a work project where the guys fixed the sagging dock and the women deep cleaned some things in the cabin. Great time in working and talking together. Then we had rest time and some took naps while others talked or read. That evening we had a steak and shrimp dinner and a family home eveing of games like pounce and charades games we played as kids growing up. We did some fishing boating and lots of visiting. I had to frequently tell my bossy brothers that I was in charge when they wanted to change the schedule. We took a family picture and Aunt Lorraine has the pictures still so I can't post those but sometime soon will get them done. We had a very long cabin meeting to organize and set rules for the use of the cabin. Whew it was long. Here are a few pictures from this time of fun.
