After the campfire and smores, only 7 party-animals (including me) stayed up to play "night games" (Apples to Apples). Thanks Shellee and Mike for keeping us young and hip like you! (We all went to bed after this by 11:30 p.m. so we weren't too tired for the next day's activities of the lake and ropes course).
The best part of the reunion was of course re-connecting with Steve's cousins. Jason & Angie own the clothing stores "Plato's Closet." I will have to stop in when I am up to Mom/Dad's!
It was fun to see "cousins' children" so talented and growing up! Go Bailey!
Aunt Larene brings up the caboose of the five siblings. She is so sweet and has been so strong through difficult trials!
Uncle Terry is hilarious! He is in charge of the next reunion (which will be held in 4 years for the family and in 2 years for the immediate siblings). He already has it planned that we will charter buses to Idaho for a 15 hour day together hitting about 6 points of interest up there. I am excited for another fun adventure!
The boys can be mischievous but are also the BEST helpers. As we started to take some firewood over to the pit, they saw this wheelbarrow on their own and started loading it without being asked. They beat us over to the firepit and unloaded the wood before we could get there. They are so cute!
Kennedy playing by the lake!
Joe & Wendy enjoying the train.
Uncle Russ speaking on family history. Cora gets the strong arm award for holding the microphone for at least 15 minutes so Grandpa Russ could handle his notes better. 
You could do paddle boats or canoes on the lake.
Cousin Miriam graciously took the boys on the canoe so I could babysit Haylee under the pavillion!
She is SO cute and so good! She didn't say a peep while her mom and dad went out on the paddle boats and canoe with Mikelle.
Another darling daddy daughter duo!
Newlyweds Joe & Sarah are so cute! Even though they only got about 15 minutes of sleep total for the night in our cabin, it was still fun to see them!
The lake was dry last year when we were up so it was incredible this year to see how beautiful it was! The picture doesn't do it justice!
More train pics...
Cheese!
Hi boys!

The reunion looks like it was a lot of fun. I am impressed by those who were in charge of oraganizing such a large group.
You looked "fabulous darling" on GTU. So, I want to know-were there any bed bugs? Looks like you guys had a great time!
Hey Annalee,
My friend had a baby midnight Friday night..c-section and you were her nurse. She said you were sooooo sweet. Her name is Julia Woolf...she tried for 13 years to have a baby and finally! Very sweet miracle. Anyway, just wanted to tell you another person thinks you are awesome!
Love, Julie Lewis
Annalee,
I am new to blogging. I have just started. I was excited to see you have a blog and wondered if I can add you to my bloglist. You can check out my blog at firemanlover.blogspot.com/
The pictures of the reunion were great. It was great to see you and all the other relatives.
Love, Nikki Paxman
