Family...

The first two weekends of August are family reunions!  And this year they both were a lot of fun!

The first one is for my dad's side and we all got together and camped at Pike's Peak on Thursday thru Sunday.  There was a lot of bat chasing-the shelter where the family picnic was held is a favorite sleeping spot for the bats during the day!  And there was also a lot of snake chasing!!  Two of my uncles had snakes in their campsite and so did my campsite!!!  I have a horrible fear of snakes so it was very traumatic for me and I was leary of going anywhere near the back of our camper for the rest of the weekend!  Unfortunately, no pictures, I forgot my camera!!

The other reunion was for my husbands side of the family and this year we had 75 people show up thru the weekend..I remembered my camera for this one!!  Uncle Joe had lots planned so here are some of the highlights!
There was a 75 ft Slip N Slide and a Bouncy House


Wagon Rides

A huge bon fire

Fireworks

Four wheeler riding

Fly By

Horseback Riding

And Uncle Si sightings!
Just kidding, that's Cousin Allen!


I asked some of the kids what they wanted for next year and most of them asked for a Ferris wheel!!  I guess we'll have to wait and see!!

  1. Hey Jeni! We passed your family on the wagon ride and we had a good laugh over the John Deer tractor pulling a wagon with an International Harvester sign on it!! Some people around here might get mighty upset over that!
