Turner Family Reunion

This past weekend we spent camping with the Turner's, Toby's mom's side of the family. We have missed the past 2 years due to work and surgery so we were excited to go this time around. I was a horrible photographer and missed getting a picture of two of the most important people. Grandma and Grandpa Turner.

Instead of dwelling on all the great photo opportunities I missed out on, here the few I did capture.

The one responsible for putting it all together.
The one and only Aunty Mick :-)

We were missing 8 more of the immediate cousins but hopefully we will catch up with them next year when I get that picture of grandma and grandpa.

There is never a shortage of sporting events when these kids get together. It starts with football, then wiffle ball, then soccer, basketball (if there's a hoop) water fights, etc, etc....

Then I would like you to meet Jason and Emily, mom and dad of Connor and Bella. As a witness to this event I was pretty sure this was grounds for divorce. Thank goodness Jason's a fairly smart guy and made a good decision with Em's firm "NO JASON".

With a little coaching from uncle Tob Bella learned how to bat. I am sure she'll be playing tackle football with the boys next year.

Uncle Verlin, Sam, Lex and Bella going for an evening walk.

Alexyss spent most of her time carrying Bella around teaching her to hula hoop, playing soccer and drowning grasshoppers.

We had lots of good company, fabulous food, great stories and lots of laughs. We are definitely glad we were able to make it and so looking forward to next year.
