Banks Lake 2015 – Trip 1

We had a marvelous eleven days in the sunshine, sand, and water with our family in July. There are so many photos to go through! Some of these are my favorites, and some are just chosen to show a variety of what we did this trip.

Highlights:

  • JT and Haley spent most of the time on the beach sans life jackets. They are little fish!
  • JT deep water started on his ski, and fell tubing! He came up laughing, “that was awesome.” Phew!
  • JT and Haley both hiked the rock with no help, and jumped off the other rock as well.
  • JT turned seven while we were there. The Mexican restaurant sang to him!
  • Spending uninterrupted time with our family.
