My 3rd Home....the Birds Nest

As many of you know Growing up I spent a lot of time Lake Havasu AZ.  When my dad was in the Coast Guard he had to work there, and it just happened to be a good half way point in between Las Vegas(my moms) and El Centro(my dads). So in 1997 my family desided to just buy a house there because we were spending so much time there! My Grandma named it the Birds Nest..It was small 2 bed 1 bathroom, but it was right on the lake and had a huge deck! But if you can imagine 7 kids, parents and grandparents all in this house, let me just say there was never a dull moment! When we first got the house we had a Wave Runner, 2 stand up Jet skies and a old blue sparkly bass boat... I wish I had Pictures to show you! Well around 2000 my dad witnessed a bad Wave Runner/Boat Accident and my parents decided to sell everything and get a new big safe boat.  I remember being disappointed at first, but after I realized all the fun stuff we could do: knee boarding,water skiing,wake boarding, tubing...and just relaxing soaking up the sun! Needless to say over the past 10 years our family has done lots of this!

Just a Few of our trips to the Birds Nest

A few weekends ago I was able to Take Kurt to enjoy some of these family traditions! It was a short trip, but we still had lots of fun in the sun. Yes it was 117 degrees but that's what you have the lake for :)  so while we were there my Parents informed me that they were going to sell the boat!! WTF!! My dad wants to buy a fishing boat for Mexico. Now I was very saddened by this news, the house and boat have been such a big part of my life. Yes I understand we don't use it that much any more because all of the kids are grown and moved away.  I guess I just all ways thought the house and everything would be there for my kids to enjoy...I guess we will just have to make a new family tradition of going fishing in Mexico..So Big White Boat I will Miss You!

Thank you to my Family for making Lake Havasu such a awesome childhood/adulthood Memory for me! love you all!
