The week after July 4th all of the immediate Jackson's got together at Toronto Lake in Kansas. It was a great trip - pleasant weather, no bugs, sunshine - and rain - every day...Overall, I think a good time was had by all!
Here's Garrett enjoying his lunch on our deck overlooking the lake.
We stayed in this beautiful cabin with Grandma Jackson - and Jeremy a few nights too!
Jeremy and Garrett - I think he was trying to chase him away from the doors. I don't know what it is with Garrett and doors. He makes a bee-line toward opens doors and loves to swing them back/forth. So far no pinched fingers...but open doors keep us on edge!
Garrett & Uncle Billy in the loft. You could only get up there by ladder, but Garrett loved the open space to crawl around in...just as long as someone was at the top of the ladder to keep him from getting out.
Garrett & D.J. in the loft.
Uncle Billy took Garrett to dip his feet into the Woodson County Lake - which was a nearby, cleaner lake better for fishing.
Jeremy taking Steve and Darren for a ride in his new boat. There was a lot of debris from limbs and rocks in the Toronto Lake, so it was hard to navigate a boat without hitting anything.
Aunt Donna & Garrett - sunscreen hair!
Swimming in the lake. Garrett loves his swim tube. The beach area was washed out and filled with driftwood, so we went to a nearby boat ramp to swim. This was a nice place to be since we mostly stood on concrete instead of the rocky bottom of the lake. D.J. in the background.
Steve and Courtney at the evening campfire - we were able to have s'mores nearly every night! 
You can just imagine all the dam jokes that took place in the Jackson vehicles as we made our way on the dam road to the dam! (Sorry Grandma J).
The Jackson 4!
OK, so I'm not the best at considering lighting for a group shot. But here we are! Jeremy is the only camper not in the photo - he had to return home to work.
Bye Bye Grandma! So Sweet!
