We Made It!

We finally made it to Ashton, Idaho on Monday in late afternoon. We got there before my brother, Tim, who was in charge of the reunion so we couldn't get in right away. We took the time to check out the outside area and the river. The cabin was beautiful and was set up on a hill over looking the Snake River. The part of the river we were on was called Henry's Fork. That first night we started off with our tradition of Family Night and getting new pajamas from Grandma. She does of great job of sewing for all the grandkids!

Here are my five with their new Grandma Jammas!

Here are all the Grandkids. There are 20 of them (with 1 on the way) and the oldest is 11. I thought this picture turned out really well. More than half of them are looking forward!

For FHE we played a match the family game. I thought I would do pretty well since the odds were in my favor by having the biggest family. Unfortunately I lost because I could never find the pictures of two of my kids. It turned out that they had gotten lost under the couch before the game began....I want a rematch!

The girls ran off with the camera. I guess Luke didn't want his picture taken

This is our family tree

Luke sleeping in his new sleeping bag for the first time!

Luke and I were up bright and early the next morning. I think all that fresh air woke me up!

We went down by the river to play some games, but before they got started the boys found a snake tangled up in some fishing gear. Wynn cut him out and saved him.

All the boys wanted to hold the snake before releasing it. This is Jake

We all played Water balloon Volleyball. The "volleyball" turned into a massive waterballoon fight!

Brad and Luke are on their way to float the river. I think Brad and Nelson went twice, Macey went 3 times, and the rest of us went once. I never got any pictures of it..sad.

My sister, Rebecca, organized a scavenger hunt. I think we are trying to see who's team was the winner here.

This is Ella. She was busy eating chips out of this big bowl

That night we celebrated Halloween. All the kids had their faces painted by my very talented sis in law, Corrine, and then they went trick or treating at all the bedroom doors.

We had a great first few days. It was also Larry's birthday, so we sang and ate cake. I'm tired again just from remembering everything we did!
