We just got back from spending a week at Lake Wedowee in Alabama with Wes’ entire family. Wes’ parents rented a beautiful house right on the lake. It was perfect!
We spent 4 days on the lake and then a few days with Wes’ sister’s family at their home in Alabama. At the lake we rode jet skis, went tubing/kneeboarding/wakeboarding, swam, played lots of games, ate yummy food and enjoyed each other’s company. We don’t get to see the Griffeth Family very often so we love our time together. We had a blast!
OUT ON THE WATER
Nate got to ride on the jetski a number of times and loved it!
PLAYING ON THE DOCK
We blew up an inflatable pool and put it on the dock for the kids to play in. Nate loved playing with the hose with the water on! He squirted himself a lot and loved it!

Leigh & Baby Spence
Baby Spence - his first time in the pool!
SWIMMIN' IN THE LAKE
Nate loves to splash when he's in the water. It makes it quite pleasant to hold him.
ONE CAST OFF, ANOTHER CAST ON.
Wes' sister's family is having an accident prone summer. Trey (their youngest, turns 2 in August) fractured his leg a little over a month ago and he was due to get his cast off while we were at the lake. Unfortunately, Kendal was so excited to go fishing with her dad that she fell down the steps on the way to the dock and broke her arm. So, they got Trey's cast off and a full arm cast put on Miss Kendal. Poor little thing! She was quite the trooper with her arm.

COUSINS
Nate LOVED his cousins. He loved having someone to play with at all times. It was fun to see them all interact & play. It seems like Nate was even more animated than usual and was a pretty funny kid on this vacation. He was just trying to keep up with his fun cousins! They will have so much fun as they grow up together.
all of the Griffeth cousins: Kendal, Olivia, Bayley, Nate, Trey & Spence
Bayley & Kendal were fabulous with all of the kids. They were always willing to play with them and make them laugh. They are great BIG cousins.
Bayley & Nate
Baby Spence. I got to meet him for the first time. He's precious!
Nate and Olivia are only 3 weeks apart so it was fun to watch them interact. They played very well and had a good time together! It was fun to watch their little personalities.
Trey is an adorable little boy but he can be quite the bully to the little kids. He's used to being the little guy so I think he enjoyed being able to be the boss of Olivia and Nate. This photo is pretty good representation of what happened to Nate & Olivia when Trey was around. We still love you, Trey!
We had a great vacation. It was fun to see all of the Griffeth clan! We miss ya already.
After we left the lake, we spent another day with Alisha and her family in Alabama. They have a beautiful home with a beautiful backyard! They have a swimming pool and then a pond behind the pool to fish in. . . .
Jeff & Trey with the minnows. Kendal tried to feed Nate a dead minnow. Yuck.
This is a few feet from Alisha's backyard. It's beautiful. This is Wes and Kendal fishing.

We can't wait til next year either. It was so much fun to spend time with everyone and see little Nate again. He's growing up to be so much fun and he certainly loves his mom and dad.
Oh yeah! Congrats Lindsay on being the ROOK CHAMPION! I loved playing with you:)
These pictures are so beautiful! I am glad you had such a great trip!
My parents bought two jet skis, so we'll have to take them out when you come to Utah. I can't wait to get Nate and Ashton together!
You guys have had such a fun summer!
Holy cow girl! You look SO tan! All of this traveling looks so fun! Glad you had a great time. Family trips are the best and I love Nate's rash guard. What a hunk!
LOVE the photo of Olivia asleep on the jetski. Nice blow-up pool...puts the one we had our eyes on in Newport to shame.
Way to move on to the groovy photo lettering. You are going to be scrapbooking online in no time.
Great post! Love all of the pictures...what program did you use to edit and add descriptions? I will definitely be stealing some of the pictures from your blog once I get around to posting again. We had a great time and appreciate you all making the trip out here! Trey is still asking about his "Lindsey".
I have been waiting and waiting for pictorials from this trip and YAY here they are! What fun it looks like you guys had. Love all the pictures and can't wait to visit with you about all your travels.
Nate is getting SO big and handsome, ps....
Uh - Oh... the "we're looking forward to" list is dwindling.
You have some spectacular pics on this post. I was going to say pictorials, but Mimi stole it from me and just used it.
Anyhizzle... you look fabulous-o. Honestly, all this vacationing is looking good on you, and you deserve it!
Wow! Love all the pictures! Robert and I look CRAZY!!!! Thanks for all the fun and support! Can't wait to see you all again!

What a fun trip and it is so crazy how much the Griffeth family grew in only one year! You got some AWESOME pictures of everyone and it really did look like you guys had a great time! Hope to see you at Christmas time if not before!
OK I think you have had just way too much fun this summer enough for all of us so I think it's time for a back to reality check. Seriously I'm glad you have had such a fun summer.
Man that looks like a LOT of fun! Your posts lately are making me so jealous :) JK, but I'm so happy you share your fun with us!
Looked like SO much fun! Makes me wish I was part of the Griffeth clan! And what gorgeous photos Linds! Really, all of them. Wow. So much beautiful scenery, I can't belive she lives right on that lake. It's amazing.
