Wells Reunion 2011

Part 2 of our vacation found us in Montana, where Dave flew up to meet us. We went here for my mom's bi-annual family reunion. I haven't had a chance to go in a few years so I was excited to see all of my extended family again. We have lots of traditions and schedules, that yes, may cause us a few laughs, but we have a great time.

The swap meet! Things move fast during this event. The kids really do have fun. I felt bad I ran out of stuff so fast. All I had to offer my kids for trading was some dollar store candy. Still, they came home with a lot more than they showed up with.

A thought she was big enough to play with all the big kids.

There was a big flag pole in the middle of the yard which Zach climbed up. He was pretty proud of himself, though my Grandma was a little panicked.


Just a cute picture of my brother in law with my cute little nephew

We always have a family parade where people dress up and march around the front of the lodge. We aren't really sure where this tradition came from, but it can still be fun. This year, everyone was suppose to pick a person from history (historical, or iconic) to dress up as and see if people could guess.

Any guesses?
She was Baby Einstien. Usually, her hair doesn't need quite so much help to stand up. She was having fun. Can't you tell?

Lily...just a cute little pioneer girl.


Again, it was a great time and I'm so thankful for all the family I have. I was able to spend time with so many cousins, aunts, uncles and both of my grandparents. I hope that we are able to go again soon!
