Walker Family Reunion 2014...

It happened...the time that Brig looks forward to almost as much as Christmas.

Seriously.

The Walker Family Reunion.

 

 

There are so many kids now! 12 littles under the age of 7. It can get a little crazy.

We had a pretty low key reunion this year. It was at the Grandma & Grandpa's house which made it convenient for most of those little kids to sleep in their own beds (since 3 out of 4 Walker kids live in Emmett now!!! What?)

Having 12 kids running around also means having 12 noses running.

Seriously. I think every kid gets sick after these big shindigs. Most of the time it doesn't really slow them down.

 

 

Ellie did spend most of the time freezing under a blanket as her body burned up with a fever. The poor girl felt awful and her fever lasted way too long.

 

 

Luckily, with the help of some Motrin. She did manage to squeeze some fun in too.

 

 

 

A few highlights were:

The TRAEGER cook off. If you haven't eaten food cooked on this fancy-schmancy BBQ...come over. We will convert you.

The Circle of Stone Boxes (more on these later)

The Choles (I am not sure I spelled that correctly and can't believe that after an entire weekend I somehow missed getting a picture of them. Dad shared the gospel with them in Virginia when he was a missionary and they came and visited us in Idaho. They were so kind!)

 

 

 

The mini-4 wheeler races. These got pretty intense. And I have to say that Cory almost had a heart attack as I zipped around that "track" like a crazy person. He had to admit...it was pretty hot too:)

The canal is always a hit providing lots of wet and dry entertainment (this is supposed to be kept on the DL)

Good food. Mom always makes sure to get everyone's favorites. It makes for a lot of happy tummies!

And lots of cousin time!
