Family Reunion Time

We woke up the next morning and got our things together (again!) and headed out for the Cammack family reunion. We enjoyed the stay with Spenser and Nadia and our kids did too. One advantage to dragging two months of stuff around with us was that much of what we needed was already packed and we didn't really have anything else that we could bring (crock pot, kids toys, etc...) We did a few errands and were on our way.

This is what awaited us...

A lovely cabin near Rosalynd, Washington and the church owned Ensign Ranch. We felt a little guilty for arriving first since we hadn't done anything to really plan or finance the accommodations, but, man was it nice. We had a look at both kitchens, living rooms, the pool table and the jacuzzi and decided it was an amazing place for 21 of us to spend an extended weekend.

David found what he liked best in the garage.

The others started to arrive at the cabin. Most of us went out to Ensign Ranch for the water slide and horse back riding. Grandma Noelene and Grandma Packer were kind enough to keep William back at the cabin. Clay and Jorden and Spenser went horseback riding and the rest of us went down the slide. Getting our tubes inflated was a bit of a production but it proved to be worth the wait. I was surprised by how much fun I had and how David seemed to like it even though it was a bit cold. Dustin, Megan, Brad, and I took David down several times. Megan liked linking arms with me because I had a little more, uh, forward momentum that she did and could ride pretty far.

It began to rain and we hurried to get our cameras and other things into Amy and Mike's van. (No photos of the slide.) We kept sliding in the rain until it was time to change for horseback riding. Clay and Jorden took David and several of us watched almost the entire safety video only to find that we were rained out. Better luck Monday!

It was a pretty relaxed evening. Amy's family did sticky chicken for dinner and many of the adults enjoyed chatting in the hot tub after all the kids were in bed.
