McCall

Every year we look forward to our week in McCall for the McCall Amateur Golf Tournament. We get to spend time relaxing, water skiing, cliff jumping (not us...but the Nelson's were brave), trail running, playing on the beach, lots of golfing for the boys, and of course great family time. The Pierces have met up in McCall with their close friends, The Nelsons, for years and the tradition still continues. It's always great to see them all! Papa came to visit for a day...he took Jalen for a bike ride up to Ponderosa Point, which Jalen loved! I just wish we had pictures of it. We were sad to leave and are already counting down the days until our next McCall trip!!

The fam at the Friday night tournament BBQ.

It was so fun to see Jalen and cousin Ellie interact with each other all weekend. Jalen couldn't get enough of Ellie and she started mimicking all of his mannerisms...including his bull-legged walk and "ya-ya" gibberish. Too cute!!!

They had a blast dancing together to the live band at the BBQ. Here are a few favorites of them dancing/playing together:


Family hike through Ponderosa.

Jalen quickly found his favorite spot on the boat...driving and being in charge of course.

Jalen being goofy, while we waited for Daddy to get the boat ready.

Relaxing on the dock before a booze cruise.

Daddy, Jalen, and Rio hanging out on the beach.

Jalen is very sensitive to new textures, so it took him awhile to enjoy the sand. Once he got used to it, he had a blast playing.

"Ahh - life is good."

Last day with the Nelsons - this is the crew after our yummy breakfast at Shore Lodge.

Scott strategizing during our game of washers...it got serious :-)

Watch out - Jalen is at the wheel again.

Ready for another boat ride.

Dinner at Lardo's.

Ellie and Devin - while Jill, Rachel, Damien, and Jim went skiing/wake-boarding.

Jim, Rachel, and Damien debating the 35 foot drop-off...Jim was the brave one who went for it, while Rachel and Damien conquered the 20 footer. Cheers to all three of them for doing it!!

Jalen and Daddy out on the jet-ski.

On the road. Overall, Jalen was a trooper, considering he barely slept.
