Where shall I begin, I have a lot of catching up. Plus there are so many pictures to choose from.
Well the end of July we had girls camp. I only went up for an evening because I had the baby and that is all that they would allow. I didn't put any pictures of the girls on here, but they had a great time.
The following week we had a big family reunion with my Mom's side of the family. We had a lot of fun. We went to Pine Basin and had a three day reunion. It was a wild time, but I love seeing my family. I saw cousins that I hadn't seen in 10 or more years. It was fun to get to know them again.
We did a lot of fun things at the reunion. The first day we hung out and talked a lot and ate some yummy food. We also went on a hike up the mountain behind Pine Basin. Kirk and I didn't go too far up the hill, because it was really steep. My brother Larry, Dennis, my niece Cheyenne her boyfriend and a couple of my cousins went up further. An hour or so after Kirk and I got down off the mountain my cousins came back down. Then it was about 10 pm and my brothers weren't down yet and it was dark. They didn't have any flashlights, then 10:30 came around and still no sign of them. So my brother Paul decided to do a rescue mission and took flashlights and went up the mountain and found Larry and Dennis, but Cheyenne and her boyfriend were still up there stuck in a ravine and they couldn't really see anything. Paul got them all down safely by 11 that night. I was so mad at Larry and Dennis, because they decided to ditch Cheyenne and her boyfriend Cody. Then Cheyenne and Cody got lost. She wasn't even wearing good shoes for hiking. I was so glad they got down safe.
The next day we had a bunch of them go to wind caves for that hike and then the rest of us stayed and visited and entertained kids with a few activities. That night we did dutch oven cooking. Then we had a raffle and it was a lot of fun. Then we had skit night, which is always my favorite. Our families come up with the funniest skits. Then we talked about grandma and grandpa, which was a treat because most of us grandkids didn't know grandpa. He died before I was born.
Here are some pictures of the reunion.
This is my uncle Rogers family
