About 5 years ago my parents bought this little piece of crap house in Idaho, they bought it for about $50,000. We spent the first summer remodeling and basically rebuilding the house. The second summer we played and in August my siblings and I decided to purchase a boat! For the last 3 summers every weekend you can find us at Bearlake with what has become quite the set up. Paddle boats, Canoes, Kayaks, A water trampoline, barbeques, an RV, Multiple Tubes and a Boat! What could be more fun! We didn't really think through the timing of having a baby, I am due in the Middle of JULY! There goes my wakeboarding till August! I think it is worth it, don't get me wrong, it still sucks though!We have become the family in St. Charles that every other town member hates! I can't blame them, every weekend 40 rowdy people showing up with Motorcycles, go-carts, and a ton of illegal fireworks that have missed burning down the neighbors house by inches on multiple occasions...But, we have a good time.
I am thankful that my parents have decided to create this type of inheritance and a place that the 22 grandkids can go each week to get to know each other and really become the best of friends! I am thankful I have such a great family that everyone is friends, there is no funk, there isn't any "elephants in the living room" type things. Everyone takes care of everyones kids, and loves each other...
