Big Bailey Reunion

I took the kids and we left Steve home to work and we headed up towards Liberty and Eden for the Big Bailey Reunion.  Oh my goodness is it beautiful up there.  I  could easily live up there, just gorgeous!  Anyway we had rented a big lodge that is used for girls camps and though we camped outside in camp sites we had the lodge to gather in and eat in.  It was perfect.  The kids loved wandering all over, playing games, and playing ball most of the time.  Others brought crafts and other fun things for the kids.  I was just in survival mode at this point so I had brought nothing.  It was a week after our cruse and a couple days before the James reunion and I was just feeling completely overwhelmed with life and pregnancy and just not feeling too hot so I let others provide the entertainment.


One of the things the kids did was make rockets and then shoot them off by jumping on a pop bottle.  Man those things would fly.  It worked just as great as our launcher and you didn't have to use a noisy compressor the whole time (just a bunch of hot air and some jumping skills)

There's Damen just landing

Standing in line for their turn to launch again.  Probably the 100th time.

The next day Aunt Kathy had a bunch or relay games for the kids.  They had a great time playing.  Especially Railey, she was always first because she was the youngest in her group but that girl never fails with her smiling face.

 

Kenna stayed by me and just smiled for the camera, that's a change.

It really was a lot of fun and even more fun to spend time with all the cousins that we don't get to see very often.  Railey made friends the fastest with all her cousins and is still asking about them and making sure they are still her cousins.  In fact the other day she got to see Benji and was so excited that he was still her cousin and they got to play together.  The boys even made some friends with some of my cousins kids by the end of camp and everyone involved had a great time.  I'm so glad we make the time to still get together with everyone!
