MacLeod Family Reunion 2011

One of the main reasons we went to Utah was for my family reunion. We went camping at Yuba Lake. We were with my parents, Adam, Aaron, Sean, and Darin and their families.

We actually stayed in a one room cabin with my parents. We had beds, a mini fridge and a/c. The bathrooms and showers were just down the hill. My kind of camping!
Tavis, Brogan, Cole, Declan, Lochlan
We had so much fun being with everyone. It was awesome to see the kids all playing together.

Aaron brought his 4 wheelers and we had fun driving them around the campsites. I decided we need to buy some some day! Easton loves riding, but keeps his ears covered :)
Makayla, Anika, Brynli, Hayden

Grandpa and Easton
We had so much fun swimming, playing in the sand, and lounging! Luckily, they had just brought in a huge load of sand. They were making volleyball courts, but it was perfect to play in.
Annette, Me, Shylo, Declan
Cole loving all the play time!!
We rented wave runners one day and they were awesome! Grammy even took a turn. I love that my parents are both active and get out to have fun with us!

Ryan decided he wants wave runners some day! He had fun taking different people out for rides. It was so cute how Easton loved riding!
Cole was begging for a ride! Ryan took him out and Cole never wanted to come back in.
Adorable little Declan! He's so sweet ;)

A few weeks before this, our bishop took us tubeing on his Jet ski. He took Ryan and Hayden out and went faster than Hayden wanted to. She was traumatized by that experience a little bit, so it took LOTS of convincing to finally get her out. She ended getting more comfortable and really enjoyed it.

Darin, Aaron, Hayden, Lindsey
I love seeing my kids with their aunts, uncles and cousins. It needs to happen more often!!
Brittany and Tailyr took Anika, Caitlin and Megan out on the tube. We could hear the girls screaming from up the hill! Brittany is a wild woman driver ;)

We spent lots of time eating, talking, and just relaxing the days away.

Caitlin was the designated hair braider and we kept her busy.
Brynli, Makayla, Anika, Ryan, Aaron, Logan, Ivy, Brogan
Can't have camping without smores. My kids weren't too interested, but I didn't have a problem eating theirs for them.
Grammy and Grampa served us all delicious breakfast burritos one morning. Yummo!

Uncle Sean and Ryan even took the kids out on a fishing excursion. I love Hayden poking the worms...


These girls were so excited to catch their fish. Lots of screaming, jumping up and down and laughter going on!
I love these little ones. They were playing in the grassy field just running around, telling jokes, laughing and being silly!
Mr. Serious. Tavis would not give me a smile no matter how hard I tried.
It rained one afternoon and a bunch of us crammed into Adam's camper. Aaron and kids entertained us with their rendition of I'm a Little Tea Pot. Good times for sure!

Hanging out on the bunk beds in the cabin. Have I mentioned how great having a cabin was!
Anika caught a cricket and gave it to Hayden and Lochlan. It got away so they made a cricket house in hopes that it would come back. It was quite the masterpiece and included beds, a table and chairs, and all kinds of cricket necessities.

Aaron made shirts with our family crest. We all sported our shirts one day.
We were there 3 nights and loved it! I was sad to leave and wish we could go back right now. It was really great and we look forward to many more of these family times in the future!
