We got to Darrin's house in Blackfoot on the Wed before the reunion started. Tyler's family arrived that day as well. Everyone else showed up Thursday and Friday. We slept in our tent in Darrin's new barn with most of the family. We played games, talked, did some farm work, the kids played in the water and jumped on the trampoline, and mostly just enjoyed being together. We loved being there with everyone! Family reunions always go by so fast.
Thursday:
Daisy, Jackson, Lila, Kenzie, Avery.
Jordan
Coleman loved turning the water on and playing wither the hose.

Friday:

The boys and some of the cousins slept on the trampoline every night except Wednesday. Kenzie tried it one night, but only lasted about 10 minutes.
Isaac and Coleman.
We played with water balloons and raced them down the ditch.
Damon and Carson in the water. I think Daisy on the side. Isaac on the bridge. And Anna at the edge.

Grandma and Coleman. He always calls her "Grandma Dance" and loves being with her.

We did fireworks at night since it was the 4th of July.
Kenzie didn't really love the fireworks. She doesn't like loud things. Jordan, Coleman, and Kenzie wanted to be in the house most of the night.
The kids did sparklers.

Coleman was sitting on a stool watching me peel potatoes and Shawnee asked me if he needed to lay down. I looked at him and he could barely keep his eyes open. I sat with him on the love seat for a few minutes and he was out. He never does that. That's what going to bed several hours later than normal for several nights in a row will do to you :)
This is the barn. It's huge. Tyler organized the kids into the Snake River Snakes. He gathered them around him throughout the reunion and would have them do things. Here they were getting ready to dance around Grandma. He also taught them some karate that my kids still do sometimes.
Damon, Carson, Quenten, Whitney, Shawnee, Darrin, Daisy.
