Bear Lake=Stewart Reunion 2011

Since in the past, we have usually not been in the area of wherever the Stewart Reunion is, we haven't been able to attend many of them.  But this year, Randy's parents were in charge and they decided to have it in Utah, so we were excited to finally be able to go to another one.   Randy's parents rented a really nice cabin on a hill with a great view of the lake.  We went tubing and jet skiing, played at the beach, ate lots of yummy food, played games till all hours of the night, and just relaxed.
Grandma and Grandpa Tucker who started these reunions oh so long ago.
Our family shot.  The kids mostly behaved.
A view from the cabin.  It was amazing. 
Michelle and Mike using their youngest brother Nic as an ottoman.  Ya gotta love sibling love.
Andrea really loves food, and really loves to show us also.  Sorry babe, couldn't resist.
PJ, who is Randy's cousin, served his mission in the same place as my brother.  It was pretty funny when they sent home pictures to their families of the 2 of them together.  Small world.  I caught him sleeping like this and had to take a pic, unfortunately he woke up too soon.
Mom taking her shot.  Too bad she has the lens cap still on, lol.
We got to ride around on a jet ski and Randy's mom was brave enough to let her son take her out for her first time.  The lake is really choppy and bounces you all over the place but still a lof of fun.
This is pretty much what the kids did all day.  Played in the sand, built sandcastle after sandcastle. 
Malia posing for her shot.
There were some really great photo ops.  The moon was full and gorgeous our last night their and every time we took a look at it, it looked different.  It was beautiful.  I love the reflection on the lake.
Malia made new friends in Randy's cousins.  They are young, still have energy and just ate Malia up.  She decided she wanted to look like cousin Michael, doesn't she look like him?
Playing chess. . . or not.
When we weren't outside at the beach, this is where you found the kids, the MOVIE THEATER room.  Julie's kids brought their XBox and played till their hearts content.  It was a fun room to be in.
Another cool room, the kids room.  It's 2 trundle bunk beds so it slept 6 kids unless we wanted to squish them.  I thought it was pretty ingenious.
A shot from the upstairs balcony, Randy acting like was going to actually get me or something.
One of my favorite rooms, not that I really had time to use it.  The master bath had this cool tub and a walk in shower (the opening right next to the bath).  It had no doors just a huge room with a shower in it.  It was nice showering all of the kids at the same time trying free them of the sand they had accumulated.
It was a great reunion and a fun vacation.  Thanks mom and dad for putting it together.
