Family Reunions and ER visits

We had our annual Nattress Family Reunion this week up at Cascade Lake in Idaho. We however almost didn't make it up to the lake at all. We decided to go up a few days early and spend some time with my brothers and their families before the rest of the family came up. The first night Jake woke up screaming in the middle of the night and was running a really high temp so we decided to take him into the ER. After waiting for two hours we finally got a diagnosis of an ear infection and were sent home with an antibiotic. About 12 hours later we found ourselves back in the ER with our 3 year old Luke. He tried to jump off the slide on to the trampoline and missed. A few stitches a black eye and a few hours later we found ourselves back at my brothers house again wondering why we had come up in the first place. We decided to stay and finish out the reunion and ended up having a great time. The kids had a great time knee boarding and getting dumped on Uncle Bretts tube and I even got up the first time on the slalom ski after 2 years of not skiing. I wasn't sure I could even get up after that long but it all came back. After a few times back and forth accross the wake my hands started to give out so I had to let go. It was fun to shock my nieces and and nephews who didn't think I had it in me.

Here is a video of my poor Luka :-( You might want to hit the pause button on the music player.
