Family Reunions



So I am always months behind from when i post things from when they happened but we had two family reunions this summer. One was the Hayden's up at our pond. We had a lot of fun with our large, loving family! :) My great-uncle Russell was even able to make it. The second reunion was in Downey. We were going to go to Island Park but because a lot of different factors we camped out in my grandparent's yard. It was such a fun idea! I think it was one of my favorite things we have done, maybe because it was so simple but fantastic at the same time! Our theme was on synergy. (That's when more energy is produced because of unity. For example two horses can pull more weight when they are pulling together than what is possible for if you multiplied what one horse could do by 2.) We had team shirts made so each family had their own color but the player numbers on the shirts were based on when you entered the family. My grandparents were both 00, my Mom was 02, and so on. It is fun to know that I was 10th, they even printed a onesie for Madison with 39 on it. :)


We played to corn-hole game A LOT and had a ton of fun!


We also had family come from Wisconsin. I love Elton-John's accent and laugh, they are priceless!
Here is a picture of most of the group...yes Austin is the one alluding the picture with his back to me.
Ha! "Cousling" I got your face in this one. :)
I think that Austin really does like getting his picture taken and that is way he fulls funny posses is so then you have to take more than just one trying to get a good one. 
Chelsea and Grant are so cute!!
