Flathead Lake 2009


Well, another Schow reunion has come and gone. It's crazy how fast the time flies by. We look forward to these reunions for two years, then when they finally get here they are over before we know it! We found these great cabins on Flathead Lake in Montana, and we rented all four of them (which was totally necessary since there were something like 45 people there this time). We had beautiful weather for most of the week, and everyone had a great time relaxing on the dock, swimming, tubing, boating, playing cards and of course eating lots of great food. A couple highlights of the trip would have to have been all the fun us young marrieds would have in the evenings. Whether we were showcasing our (lack of) breakdance moves, moon walk skills, or paper bag grabbing technique, we were constantly laughing our butts off. My family truly is great and we had such an awesome time. So thanks to Grandma Betty and to all of our parents for funding this vacation and providing all the great food and fun memories. We can't wait till the next reunion!!!

Our first night at the lake - we were the only brave ones to go for an evening swim (And yes, Steve is actually wearing a swimsuit, he was just trying to trick you - and his face is classic Steve for ya ...haha)

My Aunt Sopi is the one looking very Vogue and reading a magazine.
She is so cute.


Jane has some pretty awesome skiing skills ;) And Jill is obviously
doing a great job of helping her!


Tauri and baby Ella

Nick managed to stuff 28 giant marshmallows in his mouth.
I always said he had a big mouth....

Nice worm Alex

Luke doesn't look like an awkward dancer at all.....right....

My sweetie and I sure had a great week together

Jane and I spent many hours in the boat taking the boys for some pretty harsh tube rides. I felt bad when they'd have some pretty bad wipe outs and get launched off. No, no I actually didn't feel bad at all...

This was our "rough and tough" girls tube ride. Kate was the bravest of all ;)

Now this is what a real tube ride should look like! I think Kenny and Luke were the two victims in this particular instance.

Nice hair Levi!

Shane & Jennica and their kids on Luau night

Playing some good old fashioned Rook. (I'm pretty sure
Grandma and I creamed them!)


This is what kids look like when a piniata of candy explodes. Chaos!

Jane, me and Ashley working on making some pendants. So fun! (Thanks Kate for all the great crafts)

Ridiculously awesome.
I wonder if I'm somehow part Schow and can make it to the next reunion...
p.s. I like to play cards too.
