Blackfoot family promises the ‘Best Summer Ever’ with fun music video
Published at | Updated at
BLACKFOOT – The cast of the Disney Channel’s “Teen Beach Movie 2” has some competition from a family right here in East Idaho.
Kelly and Marva Lu Kesler, their seven children, six in-laws, and 28 grandchildren recently created a music video set to the tune of “Best Summer Ever”, a popular song from the movie.
It was posted on YouTube Wednesday and, as of this writing, has nearly 2,000 views.
The family shot the video during a recent reunion in Island Park.
“During the week, each of the siblings is in charge of an activity,” Katie Ulrich, one of the Kesler’s daughters, said. “We’ve done things from ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ ‘Survivor’ tasks, relay races, lip sync battles, ‘Family Feud,’ ‘American Idol,’ and ‘The Price is Right.'”
Five years ago, Katie’s sister, Kelsi Fullmer, decided to organize a family music video for their activity. A song was chosen, parts were assigned, the video was produced, and family members shared it on Facebook.
“Our friends and family loved it!” Ulrich said. “After a few weeks, it seemed like the whole town of Blackfoot had seen it. We decided to keep up with the tradition.”
The Kesler’s have produced nine movies so far, including Christmas music videos. Their talents have led to some unique experiences – including an appearance on “Family Feud” and an interview with TLC.
“These videos are something we all look forward to and will treasure for years to come,” Ulrich says.
