This year my parents decided to take the entire family to Bear Lake for a week, since they put their mission papers in and knew it would be the last time we would all get together for a while. We stayed in what used to be bed and breakfast with 17 bed rooms and 25 bathrooms. The house was huge and even though there were 45 of us in it, there was plenty of room. It had a theatre room, 2 kitchens, swimming pool and hot tub, playground, volley ball set and tons of grass to golf on. 
We lounged at the pool almost everyday watching all the kids swim, the boys golfed and MacRae kissed every Bear statue in town. 
MacRae never spent a minute alone, with all his cousins playing in the water with him. We took out the boat and rode the sea-doo, the whole time MacRae was yelling for us to go faster. MacRae got to ride the tube first with Mommy and Daddy, and wasn't to sure of it. But after watching Jordan and Daddy barrel roll it, and fall off he thought it was pretty funny.
Every night we had a big family dinner together, and all the siblings took turns making it. Lisa was lucky enough to have her birthday while we were there so we got to have a little party with ice cream and cake. We also had a talent show. Every family had to come up with there own talent. There was singing and dancing, guitar playing, rapping and a skit. Our talent was singing "Tim the the Tiny Turtle", with MacRae. Who knew the Tripp's were so talented? To end the week we got family pictures together at the house.
MacRae was in heaven with all his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, and cried when we had to come home. It was such a memorable trip to be able to leave all your cares behind at home, and just enjoy spending time together as a family. Thanks Mom and Dad for all the hard work, and money you put into making this such a fantastic week. We love you so much and are going to miss you!!
