water skiing

david, deena, gil, kendall, spencer, kayla and david show us their stuff!

lake sonoma

all of the cousins - except for tanner who couldn't join us this time!

lip synching duet

i never heard this song before but now i will never forget it!

fun at the sonoma county fair

i was so excited that the kids wanted to try this inflatable bubble ride. they looked like they were having so much fun trying to run to each other! also a hit was the petting zoo and the pony ride and kept them entertained while the adults were at the horse races and the teens were on the big kid rides.

raging waters waterpark

noble and mahala went on their first water ride at this park. noble liked it so much, he went twice (in the photo, noble is sitting against kayla). mahala - not so much - although she did manage to try it with me! everyone enjoyed the lazy river and the wave pool too.

our hosts

thanks to karen and david, the frank family vacation was on this year! day one at raging waters, day two and four at lake sonoma, day three at the sonoma county fair and day five in wine country while the kids stayed home!
