Family Reunion

My dad's side of my family is HUGE- so when we have a family reunion we need a whole scout camp to put us. Ok so we aren't THAT big but at our recent family reunion we had about 120 people there. When my Grandma has 9 children, 68 Grandchildren and over 100 great grandchildren there is a big group of us. That doesn't even count spouses! My dad works for the Boy Scouts and has most of my life and we spent a lot of summers at the scout camp for our area when I was younger. Later when I was in high school we went back and worked there too. I have a lot of amazing memories there and was really excited to show Bryan and my boys a place that ment a lot to me growing up. And beyond that I had a lot of fun seeing my cousins that I haven't seen for a long time. I have so many my age that they are some of my closest friends.

The drive from our house to camp was LONG. But for a few hours we were driving through the mountains and the runoff in the river was amazing.

We ate at the pancake house in McCall and had a cinnamon roll bigger then my head.

When I used to work at camp I worked with my brother and 4 other cousins. I had many different cousins work up there the three years I did but this group worked my last summer. I have a picture of us in this same spot 9 years ago when we worked there. I wanted to recreate the moment.

These girls are the closest thing I have ever had to sisters. They are my cousins Kandace and Caitlin. They worked with me at camp too.

ugh- someday I'll have a nice picture of my husband with me. At least he is entertaining.
We were lucky to stay in a "cabin" to use the term loosely. It was a one room cement floor building but it kept any rain out we may have had and we didn't have to set up a tent.

My brother and I were this age when we lived up at this camp for the summer. We had a ball playing outside all of the time. What a fun childhood we had.
