Family Reunion

Wonderful Carrie organized a family reunion. Although our numbers were small, our fun was huge!

Carri's Family, Ben's Family, Jeshua's Family

Dean, Carrie, Tiffany, Ben, Brooke, Jeshua

We had so much fun being together and getting to know each other. It was a weekend well-spent! Thank you Carrie!

We went to the Weiser Fiddle Festival.

There were fun things to see and do...especially if you are into that sort of thing. (Everyone who knows us, knows that we are hillbillys at heart)

Music and jam sessions everywhere.

The music was amazing!

We were all inspired to go home and practice. We wish we would've brought our instruments to try out some of the things we heard.

Cool entrance stamp!

We must come again! Next time we'll bring our instruments and Dad and Nate so we can have our own jam session.
(We will have to claim out our own street corner well in advance because they fill up fast)

We also went to the downtown Farmer's Market. (Aunt Margie met us there...it was great to spend time with her). While we were at the Farmer's Market, Ben, Dean, Dave, and Ethan went golfing.


Music and dancing and crafts and food!

We ate some delicious homemade donuts and root beer, bread sticks and maple cookies.

Erik and Hyum were inseparable the whole weekend. Thanks Erik for being such a good cousin!

The cousins all had a great time together...

Ethan, Emma, Erik, Eve, Hyrum, Lauren, Christian, Mari, Collin

Other highlights of the weekend: "Cars 2" movie with Jeshua's family and flying popcorn, fantastic Carrie food, "Just Dance" for Wii marathon, swimming in Carrie's pool, Thai Restaurant with Carrie and Dean while the cousins had a pizza and movie night, shopping at WinCo to stock up on our favorite cereal (Raisin Bran Crunch...seriously, they had an amazing sale so we bought 9 boxes to take home with us), a tour of Boise and a beautiful cemetery.
Would we do this again?

You bet!
