Bear Lake/Ingram Family Reunion 2008

I said Bear Lake was the Fife family reunion, it's actually the Ingram reunion (Nate's moms side of the Family). Might I add they are wonderful, positive people. It's always worth the work that camping entails. It is fun to see the 3rd generation cousins get to know one another. The age range was 2 to 16, and of course, Nate's diverse, successful, hard working cousins, aunts and uncles. The trip fell over Fathers day weekend. I was lucky because my parents also made the trek and spent Sunday at the beach with us. How lucky to have my dad there along with Nate and his grandfather.

Coby had a fun because he took Andrew Harward along for the 3rd time. I hope it is OK with everyone if he becomes a regular! Katie and Cameron have this cool game. I think it's called monkey balls ??? It's similar to horse shoes, but just right for 13 year old boys.

On beach day we have a great volley ball game for the adults and older kids to play- Nate and his cousins take great pride in getting the court just right, Nate raked the sand and took a picture- It is the only picture he took. I guess I will take pictures of the kids. The little cousins played tug of war(Idaho against Utah).

Nate's sister Stacey had to have her appendix out emergency style Saturday morning during the hustle and bustle of getting ready. My mother in law headed home but came back up on Monday afternoon, about the time we were leaving. Grama Joyce asked if Cass could stay. What a fun memory for Cass to have- that she was special enough to stay an extra night with her cousins.

I learned a lot this year-as I do every year- I learned that Nate does like short hair- just not on me- Jennifer do you have to be so cute? I learned that ticks really do exist-cutie Ashtyn found one in her belly button. I learned that whatever treats I have for my kids, they will never be as good as Uncle Dave and Aunt Laura's because they have the best food. I learned Cassidy needs more sunscreen on her face, and that Uncle Nate shouldn't say stupid because god doesn't want us to say that word- thanks miss Kate. I look forward to next year.
