Bryson crawled between Reagan, GG and myself. He was  handful. 

We had a great time and can't wait until the next Family Reunion!!

G n' G Family Reunion Part 1

The kids and I decided to tag along with Grandma Jo and GG to Northern Idaho for GG's Family Reunion. It was way cool to go see where GG grew up and where my mom also lived for a little bit. And I must say that Northern ID is beautiful!! Can't wait to go back in 2013 for the next Family Reunion.

We spent a lot of our family time eating :) Seemed like we went from breakfast straight to lunch and straight to dinner but the food was delicious! Due to weather, a lot of the things that were on the schedule were either cancelled or changed to another day. It was nice to be in some cooler weather for a bit. While we were there we had lots of family meals, visited lots of different farm animals(especially horses!), Huckleberry picking, painted rocks into lady bugs, visiting old friends from Alaska up in Cocolala ID, lots of laughs and lots of driving so we could see or imagine what everything use to look like when GG lived there.

There are a ton of pictures so I had to do it in 2 Parts.

all tuckered out after flying all morning and now to drive 2 hours.

nice quiet drive to ID

oh she insisted on feeding the horses apples. 

we all thought she would be scared of the horses after she realized how big they really are but she loved them! wanted to keep going back.

Bryson even enjoyed the horses a little bit

tackle!

happy kids ready to travel again :)

the only wildlife we saw at the wildlife refuge :) A MONKEY!!

hiked up to some pretty falls. Reagan was scared of the bridge.

and that water was freezing!!!!!

collecting rocks that would make good lady bugs so we could paint them

Family night at the bowling alley :)

Smellie Ellie and Bryson :)

Huckleberry picking and that mountain we had to climb was steep and scary out in Bear country.

beautiful view at the top of the Mountain.

Our Little Fish

Our little fish is about 2.5 years old and loves to swim! Her name is Reagan :)

Reagan has been deathly afraid of the little arm floaties until Today. She screamed when she first went floating with them on and then realized that they are there to help to float. While she swims she constantly says "these wont let me sink" and "these make me a big girl". She is so cute!

the sun was a little bright, oops!

little swimmer fish :)

and a video!

(I took this right when she got the hang of it. She has improved a lot and we were only out there for about an hour! Go girl!)
