Tami's family had a reunion of sorts last week. We all met in Pagosa Springs with our families and made a go of camping for a few days. There were seven adults and five kids (all 5 and under, we add). It was, needless to say, very fun, lively, and exhausting! BJ took all the kids fishing in the kiddie pond several times and they had success a few times. Hannah reeled that fish in by herself...she wasn't at all thrilled! He even reeled in a couple of crawdads with some line and lunch meat. The kids weren't happy to pose with these however (they do have claws, you know)!
On Sunday afternoon, it rained hard. We had soaked firewood and Shawn tried his hand at starting a fire "Eagle Scout Style"--no fire water to help. He fanned the weak flames with Tami's frisbee while Scott helped occasionally and chatted with his friend. After 30 minutes or fanning and carefully placing wood (and Scott squirting a bit of fire water, much to Shawn's chagrin)...Shawn had made: (Drumroll Please) FIRE!!!
We all kept warm by it that night, making Smores and solving the problems of the world. It was a pleasure, no need to thank us! Thanks Shawn (and Scott)!
We took a hike to a beautiful waterfall with the whole clan. Here are proud Nana and Papa with their crew of grandkids (thanks to Ethan we don't have to keep saying granddaughters)!
It was beautiful and fun. We all stayed safe and healthy and obviously the kids were all adorable, especially when Aunt Cami brought out the matching pink bandanas. Annie and Addie tore theirs off right after Tami shot the picture, but Hannah and Janessa remained adorable the entire trip! We are so glad we all got to go on such a fun family vacation during our short 3 week break from school. Let's do it again soon guys!
