♥ Family Reunion 2011

So over the weekend i was able to go up to Idaho for our yearly family reunion..
7 years ago was the last time that we had been to a BIG family reunion.. When i say big i mean HUGE family.. Its my mom side of the family and its 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th, and 5th cousins.. Its just lots of people and so much fu
n.. There was a year where we lost about 5 people.. Died all within a few months.. and it seemed like they were the ones that kept US together and kept the reunion going on. After they died its just seemed like the family cut down. So MY family would just make it that all of us would get together and keep it going..

So anyways, after 7 years of not going we thought it would be great to start going.. I wanted to show Logan and Connor my FAVORITE place when i was little. I always looks forward to going and hanging out with all my cousin. I remembered always going swimming, riding our bikes down the big hill, the fish pound, volleyball, karaoke, the hot springs.. I just remember so much and i couldn't wait to show this place off.. It was a place that i grew up at. Tons of my childhood memories where made there.. Ahh i was just so excited for Connor to start making great memories there..

So we left Friday and the whole way up there i was bragging to Logan about everything there and how much fun it was and how excited i was to start our family memories there..
When i got there and ready to set up our tents i looked around and thought it myself.. Man its smaller then i remember.. Haha.
That night we just hung out talking around the camp fire..
Saturday was the day i was looking forward to..
We woke up Saturday morning and i knew this day was going to be a GREAT day. I was right.
First most of the family went golfing, its a golf tournament, i was excited for Logan going so he could get to know my family a little more and just get comfortable with them.. By the time they got back its was close to Noon.. Logan had a BLAST with my family and even won a prize ( Closes to the green).
So everyone got into there swim suites and off the to pool we went.. When we got there everything looks just the same as i remembered it was.. Us cousin went off to the deep in and got on the HUGE tub and fought to get on and stay on, we played chicken fights, dunked each other and just had a great time... It brought back so many good memories

It started to rain so we left swimming... So we went to the camp grounds and got all cleaned up. It was time for the kids games.. and Connor had a blast.. He got all sorts of toys and loved every minute of it..
While the kids were playing there little games we (as in the cousin) started our own little game.... BEER PONG. i guess you would say beer pong was our family game.. :) This is where it got a little crazy......
and this is where ill keep it short and sweet.. :) Lets just say it ended up being the best weekend Ive had in a very long time.. tons of beers, hard drinks, and great laughs why wouldn't it be a great weekend.. :)


Here is Connor riding his bike down the huge hill, like i used to when i was little..
As you can see Connor is only on 3 wheel.. While he was riding one training wheel broke off..
So i guess this gives us a reason to teach him to ride a 2 wheel.. :)
The game that started it off!!! :)
Me and my wonderful family!!
