Stimpson Family Reunion 2011 - Sun Valley

Its been a couple weeks but we finally were able to get the pictures together from this year’s family reunion up at Sun Valley.  We had a blast! It was so fun to see everyone and the weather was perfect! I even caught a fish!

Kenya came along and loved seeing everyone of course.

Sun Valley had a lot of fun places to check out one of which is this fat old bear sitting on a bench outside a chocolate store. Here is Jake giving this bear a  few punches showing him whose boss!

There was so much to roast!  In addition to marshmallows, there were starbursts (my favorite), a circus peanut or two, and here Andre roasted a tasty twizzler.

Trace and Kendra loved playing with cousins and being dirty as can be.

Yes their heads are missing, but good for them for getting off the ground! Go Sheri, Ryan, and Megan!

Grandpa with Landon checking out the entertainment around the campfire.

We found this fantastic place for pizza.WiseGuys pizza. It was so good, we ended up eating here twice during our trip and watched them throw the pizza crust high in the air.  It was good as you see below.

Kendra likes pizza!

So does Trace!

Playing with nets!

Brookie now all grown up and Grandma!

We did a camera scavenger hunt and here is Shawn’s team out trying to win one of the prizes!

One of the questions on the scavenger hunt was “find something broken”.  Connor must have remembered that I sat in this chair earlier that day and broke it, so here is his picture! Oops! I still owe Larry a new chair!

And winners are……….   Aaron’s team wins the scavenger hunt! Sugary prizes for all!

This year we each brought things to put into the time capsule which we will open up again in 5 years.  It was great to see what people brought. My mom here above has a flower from her veil to put in there. They were married nearly 45 years ago! How cool is that?!

Families that Play Together Stay Together!  Thanks to Dan & Mel for making these fantastic shirts for everyone.  They came in all the way from Phoenix and it was wonderful to have them there.

Time for the cracker eating contest, with mustard, sardines, etc. Guess who won?……… Little JAKE!

The tuff boy cousins showin their muscles!

Love this picture! Trace & Landon. Especially like Landon’s face sitting in the dirt, happy as can be. Why is this fantastic pillow in the dirt? Ask Lisa, but the kids sure love it. Trace sleeps with it every night! Go Broncos! Thanks, Wendy for making it!

Kendra is non stop chatter. Here she is telling us something very important I’m sure.

The three days went way too fast!  Thanks to everyone who came for making this a great family reunion!
