The family reunion is mostly about cousins, all 40 of them! My kids love their cousins! Every year my kids look forward to the reunion because they get to play for several days with their friends, the cousins. This picture shows a bunch of cute cousins playing with the cart that provided hours of fun.
Here's another picture that represents this year's family reunion to me. Mom and Dad have taken care of Rebecca's girls most of the time since Travis and Emily were in the motorcycle accident. They have given their love and time to help the Wall family in so many ways. Our thoughts and prayers were with Travis and Rebecca throughout the reunion and we really enjoyed having the girls with us. We were playing family jeopardy in this picture which was a fun new activity this year.
It was the year of the one year old girls! MaLaine, Jillian, Nutella, Maegan and Addison have all turned one recently and Natalie will soon be one, six little girls too keep everyone on the run. They were alternately nice and then mean to each other. Here are three of them all being loved by sweet little Lily.
Dad had knee replacement surgery last October and I had ACL knee repair in February, yet here we are both playing volleyball and having fun! It made me so happy to see Dad able to play volleyball and enjoy it so much, we had a scare when he ran out of the pit and down the hill after a ball but his knee came through it just fine.
This picture just makes me think of sisters. My sister with four of her beautiful smiling daughters. I love my sisters! Sisters are wonderful!
Kason loves to play! Sports, any game, as long as he can play with someone. He played a little game of football where he was on David's team against Jace, Garren and Devin. There was lots of fun and cheating the whole time but just look at the touchdown smile.
Adam and Tina have such a cute, fun family. I just love this "huddle" picture. We are so glad they are moving a bit closer!
I wish Jezree was in this picture too. Golden and Shelby and the kids can obviously "pose" for the camera. We really had fun with them this reunion. Hopefully life can slow down enough for us to see each other more often.
Here's Dustin and Kerry looking cool getting ready to ride. Dustin was my physical therapist after my knee surgery and did a great job for me!
Dustin made riding the jet ski's look easy. He did loose his glasses and skull cap to the belly of the lake shortly after this shot though.
Janet rode that jet ski all day and didn't even get her hair wet! No fair!
Here is their cute daughter Krista.
Lauren and Krista had a great day swimming and jumping off the boat and dock.
Kason wanted to look like he was riding the jet ski without having to actually do it. He sure is cute though!
Kerry caught on to riding very quick, partly by utilizing those rusty snowmobile skills. In spite of still recovering from his sprained ankle, he rode a lot and looked great doing it! He didn't even disturb the butterfly I was trying to photograph.
I got the hang of riding the jet ski's pretty quick too and loved it! If we get jet ski's in the future I am going to totally blame Dustin and Janet!
Kieran already knew that he would love the jet ski's and he did.
And then he had some fun wake boarding, lucky boy!
And I had to post this great wipe out picture too just to show the hair!
