We just got back from a fantastic family reunion at West Piney! 
There is a long slide to get down to the baseball field, creek and playground.
Hangin out with the kiddos!
Trace was obsessed with this ramp from the moment he saw it. It echoed really loud when he ran on it. Then he hauled a toy car up the the top and rode down it. This made for many fun hours. I am a little worried because he doesn’t seem afraid of anything.
Uncle Mark taking Trace down the slide. He loved it! At the bottom he clapped his hands and ran up to do it again. I am just glad we watched him closely so he didn’t go down alone!
I also went down the slide but instead of clapping at the bottom I crash landed on my knee and ankle and hobbled around the rest of the trip!
Kody headed down the slide at lightning speed.
If you look closely you can see Sasquatch in this picture.
Richelle got a better picture of him.
Then later that night, Sasquatch was spotted across the woods. Here are the kids watching and looking for him. Jared was mysteriously missing whenever Sasquatch appeared. ;-)
Trace shared his birthday with two cousins, Kaila, and Andre! We woke him up to eat some cake and all the kids were blowing horns and I think it all was a little too much for him by the look on his face! But he sure enjoyed the cake the next day. 
It was a delicious cake! ;-)
Baseball
Aunt Richelle playing-peek-a-boo through the metal railing with Trace. He loved it!
Kendra with her new favorite food. Watermelon!
Trace, Ryan, Landon, Kade, & Harrison eating some grub.
We played “Minute to Win it” doing lots of different tricks. This one we had to blow up a balloon and use the air to knock the cups over onto the floor.
This one we had to stack 30 cups and get them down the fastest. I lost :(
Me and Trace going for a nature walk.
Mom & Dad taking a moment to pose. Thanks to Richelle for letting me swipe these pics. ;-)
Kody and Larry running around the cabin in the three-legged race. This is a coordinated family…no major injuries!
There was also a lot of free time to sit, relax, and chat.
Sure, this may technically be called a “dust-devil” but it was massive so I am calling it my first tornado. Isn’t the ride home to Boise lovely?
Passing through Arco, we stopped at Pickle’s Place. I was not impressed but the chair in the front was cool.
Poor Kendra got sick and threw up all over herself in the car on the way home. Here she is in Trace’s shirt. She also cried the entire night keeping everyone in the cabin awake, but we now can see two teeth coming through! Stinker!
I miss the beautiful forest already! It was so fun to see everyone. EVERYONE was able to come this year except for Trent who is on his mission. The reunion was great! We had so much fun! Can’t wait until next year!
