So this past July we (the kids and Mommy) drove to NM for my side of the family reunion. It was such a pleasure seeing everyone and how much all the kids had grown. Our kids fell right in where they left off the last time they had seen their cousins and just had the time of their lives!
Thanks Mom and Dad for hosting it this year! I know your house was crowded with all of us but we really enjoyed it!

~ Hannah and Caleb~
There was plenty for us to do all together. One day we packed up and drove up to Bottomless Lakes near Roswell, NM. When I was growing up, this lake STANK! But thank heavens they've done quite a bit to clean it up and make it a fun place to be!

This little car floaty is baby Addy's but all the little kids and some of the older ones still managed to squeeze themselves into it! Thank goodness Aunt Jessi and Uncle Josh and of course Addy didn't mind too much!
Hannah trying to warm up. Honey it's NM you shouldn't be cold! Lol.
Yeah the water wasn't the clearest. You try not to think about what's swimming under us!
Another day we drove up to Ruidoso, NM and played at an outdoor fun place and then spent the evening at The Flying J Ranch. We were able to pan for gold, shoot guns, ride a horse, watch a shoot out, and eat a good ol' chuck wagon dinner while watching a band. Good times!
I knew it!!
Ian and Caleb after trying their talent at shooting guns!
Ready.. Aim... Fire!
Rowan actually found quite a few pieces of "gold". Probably cause mom was helping him. :)
Water Bumper Boats! Nobody told us they were gonna get soaked!! Lol, we had to go to Walmart afterwards to get dry clothes for the kids so they didn't freeze at the Flying J Ranch! Next time we'll be ready!
Hannah certainly was able to hold her own!

We all participated in a Maze. Which turned out to be fairly difficult, but because our family is so smart, we all finished in record time!
Trying to help out! Trying being the key word! lol.
Hannah driving. Yikes!
Rowan too! He actually was very careful while driving. It was really cute to watch.
~Rowan and Justin acting like themselves! Love it!~
~Grace and Hannah, and Jewels (who did not have to walk anywhere because these two didn't want her to get tired.)
Rowan just got a new pair of goggles and had to try them out, in his sleep!
I had time to finish my tutu's! Here was the first one. I ended up making four! So fun!

Yay for Bottomless Lakes and Ruidoso! My dad always took us to ride the go-carts and bumper boats just because they were fun... It's fun to see you family too!
