Bingham Family Reunion
This weekend we had a reunion in twin falls. Kade and I headed out on Friday afternoon, and had our share of obstacles on the way. We got up that morning thinking we would make it there early afternoon. We ended up leaving later than we hoped. The directions we were given were very confusing so we were unsure the whole time. We took the red truck with the four wheeler. We ended up having to fix the break lights, and had no AC so I was a sweaty pregnant lady. But all in all we got up there safe and had a great time. We rolled in around 6 just in time to eat dinner. Shyla had a trading post set up so I got to help her sell the little kids all sorts of fun stuff. Shyla was in charge of all the games and did such a great job. She was so creative, she has such a talent.
We ended up staying in a cabin with Shyla and Tony and their little ones. I was so grateful for our air mattress, because they only had spring boards to sleep on. We had a fun night staying up and playing games. Poor Kaitlin didn't have such a great night, she had a bed fall on her foot and so she could hardly walk to rest of the weekend.
The next morning we had a great breakfast and helped with a treasure hunt. It was so hot for me that I was a real lazy bones the whole day. I just wanted to sleep and stay in the cool. Kade and I went for a ride on the four wheeler and when we got back they were playing water volleyball. Kade got in a water fight with some of the younger cousins and it went all night.
Mom, dad, Steph, and Morgan showed up in time for some games, the auction, and to cook dinner. We ended up getting a Graco pack n play for the baby, at the auction. Kade is super excited about it.
All the family's did a scrapbook page for grandma. I happened to have an ultrasound picture with me so I got to put our little one on our page. It was super fun. Kade and I left as early as we could that night. We needed to be back for church today. I don't think we got outta there till 9 though. It was after midnight before we crawled into our own comfy beds.
All in all there was some good and bad in the weekend. We made the most of it and had a fun time. I got to meet a lot of people, I didn't know many people who were there, I'm still a newbie. Thanks for all of you who put so much time and effort into making the reunion a success.
