Camping Family Reunion

My family is rather large. We are all going in so many directions it is hard to get together with any consistancy. Nate, the youngest of our family started a family reunion/campout about 5 years ago. It has been great. We normally do it in September over labor day weekend so we can camp Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This year, we have three little girls that will be joining the family in August so we decided to push it up.

Brad and Ashley have a membership to a camping site w/ amenities in East Canyon. They resreved the site for last weekend. We had a blast! Ken and I were not able to make it on Friday but went up Saturday and spend the rest of the weekend with them.

Talk about rain! It rained about 60% of the time. No worries, most of them had rv's so we all hung out in rv's to hide from the rain and stay dry. The rain finally broke in the afternoon and we were able to have some fun! Most of the family is involved in Soccer so a game was inevitable!

Sophie and Ellie wanted to play but they were too little. Katie grabbed their hands and the three of them were one player! They ran the field like pro's!

Eliza was more into blowing bubbles than soccer. Can you blame her?? Bubbles are fun!

Here is my "old man". He was one of the toughest players on his team. Way to go Dad!!

Every child needs at least one weekend when they can play and get dirty and not have to clean it up. Cute Sophie has dirt all over her cheeks.

We only had one person end up in the river, thankfully it was an adult. Nate sacrificed his dry pants for the soccer ball.

Thanks Nate for planning this reunion and keeping it going. Thank you Ashley for getting the site this year. We cannot wait for next year!
