We just got back from our family reunion. We left after school last Friday and flew into Boise, ID. We stayed at a really nice hotel there and then drove 3 hours to eastern Oregon Saturday morning. This was Brandon's dad's family. We were at the reunion on Saturday and Sunday. There was so much to do and the kids had a blast. I took almost 200 pictures, so you can check them out and see all the fun stuff we did. We camped out on Saturday night, which was an adventure with 3 little kids. Kate and Annie did really good and slept all night, but Matt had a little accident and woke up cold. Once he was redressed and covered up he fell asleep and slept till 10am. Brandon and I had more trouble sleeping since right after we took care of Matt the sun came up. It gets dark after 9:30pm and light at 4:30am. Monday and Tuesday we stayed in a hotel (thank goodness) and hung out with Brandon's parents and visited more with his extended family. Kate made good friends with Libby, one of Brandon's cousins daughter and had a blast running around with her. A couple of funny things happened that I want to remember, but I'm afraid they won't be very funny to anyone who wasn't there. Frank (Brandon's dad) was talking to Kate and Libby and said "Libby I'm your grandma's big brother", Libby then said "You look younger than my grandma", so Frank took out a dollar and gave it to her. When Frank's sister Tammy saw the dollar she asked about it and Libby said "I told him he looked younger than you". Tammy said "WHAT?!!" and Libby said (trying to defend herself) "He didn't make me say it, it's true". Another day we drove up to the lake in the mountain. We were on a skinny dirt road and a park ranger truck was coming toward us. We pulled over to let him pass and as he passed (very slowly) he had his window down and he nodded at us. Linda (Brandon's mom) said to Frank, "he wants to talk to you". So Frank rolled down his window and just stared at him. Well he just stared back for like 3 seconds, until they both said "what?" Then Frank said "I thought you wanted to talk to me" and the ranger said "I thought you wanted to talk to me", then they rolled up their windows and drove away. It was an awkward moment and we laughed for a long time about it. Too bad Linda didn't do it on purpose to embarrass Frank.

That sounds like fun. I can picture the awkward moment between the ranger and his dad. I was laughing out loud. I want to see pictures. How can I see them? Are they posted somewhere else besides your blog? I've heard Oregon is beautiful.
Never mind. I just scrolled down and found the pictures! Oh my gosh, Annie is the cutest baby ever and Matt and Kate are getting so big! I think Annie looks just like you must've looked as a baby. It looks so beautiful there! What a fun trip!
Seriously! WOW! Sounds like y'all had a fantastic time! Give your babies hugs for me!
