An 80th Birthday & A Reunion!

This last week we had the Bracken Reunion up in Pine Valley at the Lions Lodge!! and it was BEAUTIFUL, and so much fun. Any excuse to go camping for a few days is always a great thing!!! We got up there late Thursday night. Brent couldn't stay the night because he had to work Friday. So Rydge and I got to hang out, and let me tell you..Rydge defiantly got his miles in while we were there!!! He was crawling ALL over the place, in between the tables, back and froth and all over!!! He wore holes in his footy pajamas. He just had the biggest smile on his face! He was a very entertaining boy...to everyone!!

We decided his poor little knees hurt from crawling, so he started to stink bug! And he moves pretty fast stinkin buggin it!!! :)

Friday rolls around, and I got to watch Haley, Hunter and Ally while kirk was at work and Tam was in St. G doing a few things. (Tam's Grandma hunt passed away, so she was pretty busy this weekend with family, and funeral arrangments.) That morning we went for a hike down to the resevoir.. So pretty, and peaceful!! Then we went back to camp and the kids played with all the other kids, and just ran themselves down!!! Rydge was busy covering ground by roaming everywhere!! I love that I can let my boy get dirty and he is soo happy! 

I would kiss this face!!!!

Evening rolls around and Kirk gets back from work, a few others arrive and set up there camps! Aub and Meya came up to camp.. I was so excited!!! And then Brent arrived, we all hung out, and laughed, chatted and enjoyed the nice cool weather. It was so nice, we got a little chilly at night.. sweater weather baby!! Im so ready for fall!! 

Saturday morning Brent and I load up the babe and head back to Enterprise. Brent had to work, he actually had to go change a tire up in Bear Valley, and I got to go to my Grandma Thomas' 80th birthday!!!  I cant believe she is that old...She looks great, and is still in awesome shape, and living life to the fullest!! She is an amazing Grandma, and I hope her day was special and celebrated by all her loved ones!!! I got to see cousins I havent seen in Years, and all there little babies, and kids! Such a fun day! I Love you Grandma Thomas!

Once the birthday was over, I met brent at home and we headed back up to Pine Valley.. Wahoo!!! Once we got there we just visited with everyone, they started dinner at 6.. Yummy, then had the auction and then we all just visited some more!!! Such a great time!!!! And great to see everyone!
