Armatage Family Reunion

Last WEDNESDAY we headed out to Bear Lake once again!  This time for my Mom's side of the family reunion.  

The first stop... Maddox.  I love eating there!  Not only is the food delicious, but I love the memories!  On our way to camp I realized something.  "Oh no, I forgot to bring Klennex's."  Hadley promptly solved the problem with "That's ok.  We will just have to pick our boogers and eat them."  With that problem solves, we continued on.  

Next stop... up St. Charles Canyon in Idaho!  This is the place my Mom's family has been camping since I can remember.  I feel like I am at home here.  The kids wasted no time getting on their bikes and beginning the races while we set up our new tent!!  

The best part about the reunion, is all the cousins to play with! 

Hadley all on her own said "Take a picture of me on this tree!"  I couldn't resist.   

The first day was spent setting up camp, and then eating a delicious dinner.  

Something about the Armatage family reunion is that there is always WAY to much food, and everything is always WAY yummy! 

After dinner we had our first "Grandma's Store."  Where kids and adults get to pick an item from the "store" to keep!  The kids especially love this part of the reunion! 

The night was spent hanging out, cookin' smores, and just enjoying being together with crazy cousins! 

Hadley slept better then she ever has up camping!!  Although, the THURSDAY morning she was up at 6.  We went for a walk, and came back to find some other early birds!  

Cambria and her Grandma helped entertain Hadley until the rest of the crew woke up.   

Jeremy used the morning hours to get some reading in! 

My parents took Boston for a morning walk... and Hadley joined at the end!   

After breakfast and all the preparations we headed to the lake!  Jeremy and the kiddos had a blast ridding around in our raft! 

The sand was AWESOME!  The water was super high this year, and the sand was so clean and lovely. 

Jeremy had a blast playing frisbee 

Hadley enjoying getting "Dirty Clean" 

After several hours at the lake, I was ready to head back to camp... these boys on the other hand could have stayed for hours more.  They both LOVE the water. 

That night after dinner my cousins made this amazing Wheel of Fortune game for all of us to play!   

It was super fun!!!  Once again we ended the night with Smores... my heaven. 

FRIDAY, Jeremy and a few of the others headed out golfing!  Those of us left behind went on a hike to the top of the springs!  Along the way my Mom and Hadley found this fun tree!

Me and my Hadley girl!

We hung out back at camp for a little while, then hiked to the other creek!  My kids are so lucky to have such awesome cousins! 

Then the little boys did an airplane craft while the girls...

painted their nails!

and made pretty cards!

After another yummy dinner we had time to play some games!!

Oh my did we have fun, and oh my did we get dirty!!!

Saturday morning we woke up for our daily dose of Hot Chocolate, and then packed up and headed home.  

Another fabulous Armatage Reunion!  I am so grateful to everyone who makes the effort to come!  It is so fun to be so close to so many of my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins!
