My dads moms (Browns) family reunion is always held on the 2nd weekend of August. We normally camp Fri-Sun and sometimes some extra days during the week. Last year kind of scared us off. It always rains at least one of the days you are camping. Last year was monsoon rains. We invited our friends Gordon and Teri last year with there nice new trailer. We tried to pull into the campsite got stuck and ended up camping right in the middle of the dirt road. We still had a good time, but I really didn't want to get up there this year and it be the same. So we decided to only go up for the day on Saturday. So we got up at the crack of dawn, drove the 2 hrs it takes to get there. Arrived just in time for the nice hot breakfast they just cooked. Then the games and fun began!!!
So all the kids got together for a sack race. As I walked Coltin and Conner over to the starting line. I said "Here is some advice COLTIN "don't try to go so fast that you end up making Conner fall. WORK TOGETHER!!!!" Lets see if Coltin listened!
NOPE!!!!Here is the start where Coltin took off without even caring and Conner tumbling to the ground. Then Coltin getting mad cause Conner fell.
Story of my life!!!
Do you think they will ever listen to the parents advice?
After the race was all over. They decided to try it again and they actually went for a little while!
Maybe they can work together. Sometimes!!
Then the kids had a tug-a-war. Boys against girls!!!
What I didn't get a picture of is there was "3" boys and like "8" girls!!!
They started out so well then the girls smoked them.
This is the girls dragging the boys across camp.At least they wouldn't give up!!!
This is Conner just chilling out watching everyone play!!
We played a game where you had to get a team of like 7-8 people and you had to stay in a chain, then get the hoolahoop through your whole team without breaking your chain. It was fun but it was funnier watching all the kids and adults try to hoolahoop. Coltin was soo good. I was surprised! He could walk and do things while he was still hoolahooping! LOL!!
Conner it took a little longer but he finally got it a little!!!
We have a horseshoe tournament every year. You don't get to pick your partner. The last 2 years I have been partnered with 2 really good horseshoe players and have won!!! This year I wasn't so lucky. I love you Aunt Pam, but you are not a good horseshoe player. Pam and I had to play Curtis and Margie (which Margie claimed she wasn't good, but got 2 ringers!) We lost our first game 1-21 :( I know its a crying shame!!!!

how fun! i love get togethers... especially the family ones! (okay, and of course, the girl ones!)
where do you guys go? it looks like fairview. anyway, it looks gorgeous!
So I'm really bummed that we didn't get to see each other very much. I didn't know that you guys only came up for the day until I woke up from my nap and you were gone. We really should get together sometime. Thanks for letting Jax play with your boys toys. As you can see he knows what he wants and he's going to do anything to get it, just a little hard headed. Now who's side could that come from?
Katie that is scary that you know where we are from these pictures. These are not even scenic pictures. How did you know that we were in Fairview Canyon? Are you stocking me?
you are too funny.... we used to camp there - every year... when i was little...
BUT, are you near potters pond? no, really, i thought i remembered you telling me that you guys went there for reunions.... (goll, i guess i can remember things... sometimes.lol)
We are not by potters pond. We are right above Gooseberry res. and right below skyline drive. Same place every year.
