Are you ready for a marathon? I took quite a few pictures. I'm only posting the ones of my immediate fam - so, cousins - if you know I took a picture of you - you should have had it e-mailed to you - and I will be looking for it on your blog! :) If I don't have your e-mail, then I sent all of them to Aunt Pam too. Anyway - thanks for such a great time everyone!! We had a blast!
These pics are in no order whatsover ...
These pics are in no order whatsover ...
Around the campfire: Ty and James ... grandpa and his princesses:
Me -n- my Ty ... a lot of the gang:
M and Kryssie (plus cute Kobe in the background) .... grandma and Aaron - snuggle bugs:
Yuuuuuummy s'mores ... Aaron and TyTy (Aaron loved the extra fluffy boa from the treasure hunt - hahaha! Hey -he knows when he needs a lil' extra style to keep him warm) :)
Pics from the Challenge Course. I really hope you Rassumssens and Taylors got pics of your group - I would love to see them:
It took us 2 attempts to get the tire over this pole. We all died our first try ... sang our song ... and were given a second chance. We were much more successful ... and EVERYone helped. Very fun.
"Take a picture of this, Mom" -- my kids all have a little of M in them. What can I say? She's their favorite ... she's everyone's favorite! :)
Grandma Pat's treasure hunt. Look at all of those faces - talk about a variety of emotions. Hanna is so determined - Krystal is obviously just along for the ride - and poor Oliver ... he is so, SO sad. Mandi - I sent you his "after" picture. He was quite pleased with his treasure at the end. What a cutie!
It doesn't get much more beautiful than this ... hahaha! Here I am suited and ready for the ropes course. And up I go ... this is about the point I started shaking with fear:
Terrifying .... I am shaking like crazy right here ... spaghetti legs! And Mom was a little trembly too - but she looks like a pro!
At the end of the "tight rope" walk - we zip-lined down to the bottom. I thought that THAT was even more terrifying. But, Mom let out a "Woo-Hoo" on her way down.
Balance beam/Teeter-totter log activities:
The kids had to work together leaning back or forward to make the log balance. They did really good! I loved this picture of Hanna's walky-walk!
Here are the grown-ups leaning to make the log balance ... it looks really easy in the picture, but it actually took a lot of team work.
James on the high-wire. I went right after him ... and he made it look SO easy. It took me at least 10x longer to get across than him. Krystal and Hanna playing in the cabin:
Hangin' out in the cabins:
Marissa ... Kobe and Aaron (Aaron sure looks forward to hangin' out with Kobe! I wish we got together more!)
A little volleyball:
I told you these pics were in no order whatsover - but, I wanted them all on here for posterity - hahaha! Here are some more balancing acts:
What a fun reunion together!! My camera stopped working Friday night. But, Saturday - we had an awesome breakfast and then the auction. Marissa saved all her bucks for the cute bag Aunt Cindy made - and loves it!!! She has it sitting out with her school clothes to wear for tomorrow. cute. We are so blessed to be so close and have such an awesome time together. Thanks all - I sure love ya!

The pictures are great - I love the Kung-Fu on the balance log. Brent is hillarious! The challenge course is always so much fun (though terrifying!). We DO have an awesome family! We really missed the Las Vegas Taylors (including Linz & family) and Price Taylors. Maybe next year. We have a date for the first Friday in September which is labor day weekend. START PLANNING RIGHT NOW!!!!
