Yuba Vacation 2016

This last week was our annual family trip to Yuba and although it was SO windy the ENTIRE trip, we still had fun! It was extra fun because ALL of my siblings were there for the first time ever!!




No matter who was in the hammock, Mason would climb right in!


 Day one at the beach!





 So proud of my little Bubba for jumping off of Grandpa's boat all by himself (over and over again)!




 

 When it's too windy to do anything on the boat you cover a 9 year old in a towel, place crackers all over his body and wait for the seagulls to come!



Mason LOVED tubing this year, even after doing a back flip off the tube into the water!! (He still says that was his favorite part of the trip)

Mason napped every single day. It was WONDERFUL!

I sure love my little Bubba and he LOVES his baby brother! He is always loving on my belly!













A boat caught fire at the docks and they let it burn to pieces...along with the dock!


So much frisbee, football, tag and chasing cousins!

Grandma made Yuba shirts again this year!

Hard to see, but Mason painted his own shirt. It is the Ninja Turtles.
 



These marshmallow guns from Grandma were a HUGE hit!!



  








So many firsts for everyone this year! Water skiing, wake boarding, paddle boarding and tubing!!



Fishing off the shore with Grandpa.
His pants were the best part of the whole experience!




This boy LOVES to go on the 4-wheeler with his Uncle Bob!


We always go to Scipio to the Dairy Queen and free petting zoo. Unfortunately it was closed the day we went. Bummer.

But, we still got ice cream!!


Mason slept great every night (if he could always sleep in a tent, I'd let him), we made lots of s'mores and campfire pies, shot LOTS of marshmallows, flew airplanes and rockets, wake boarded, tubed, jumped off the boat, fished from the shore, swung in the hammock, snuggled by the fire, laid in Grandpa's truck and looked at the stars (Mason even found Neverland), rode 4-wheelers, chased birds and bunnies, went on a "deer hunt" with the uncles, ate ice cream, laid on the beach, had dance parties all night and we couldn't have asked for a better break from reality!!
Here's to hoping that next year isn't as windy!!
