When the Family Gets Together



We just returned from a three day jaunt to Wyoming for a family reunion on Kim's side. As many of you know, my idea of camping is at the Hampton Inn and having to eat out for three meals a day....so, I was a little skeptical about how much fun it would REALLY be. Our "camp" consisted of cabins with bunkbeds, a concrete floor, and electricity!! And, the best part: running water, flusing toilets, and SHOWERS!! The cabing we stayed in actually slept 12 people comfortably, but as there were a few in Kim's family that pulled trailers to the site, we actually got to have our own cabin. The site also included use of a large lodge where there was a mess hall and a huge kitchen with fridges and freezers. Hallelujah!! So, needless to say, it was much more than I expected and we actually had alot of fun. The kids got to play on some homemade toys furnished by Kim's Grandpa Heaton and there was canoeing and Kim's brother brought up four wheelers. There was a scavenger hunt and water fight as well as alot of good food and alot of fun talents that were displayed nightly.


As we have just returned, I went to download all my pictures, and I am sad to report that I hardly took any pictures at all. But, here are a couple that displayed our fun. We're looking forward to doing it again soon.

It looks like you had a lot of fun! I'm so like you...my idea of camping includes actual toilets, showers and a cold Dr. Pepper at least once a day.

I love looking at pictures of your family. I'm going to email you right now and set a date to get together!
