Vernal Visit & Family Reunion 2012

 My Little Sis left August 30th for NYC to be a nanny for a year --it brings back such strong feelings & memories for me as it was 11 years ago that I was headed to do the same thing, this will be such a great adventure for her!  We were already heading Vernal way for the family reunion that weekend so we extended a couple days to show up in time to see her before she left. (of course I didn't get any pic's) 

 The kids love Grammie & Papa's -- they could live on the swingset!  

They had a blast playing with cousins and enjoying Papa's new 'Toy'

Labor Day weekend always brings great fun at the Hoopes Family reunion.  Once again the reunion was held in Whiterocks, UT at the old 'homestead'.  We had a Sports theme and Dad's family was assigned 'Basketball'- we had a great time crafting, eating, laughing, playing, swinging & bonding.  LeGrand, the kids & I bunked with Trev & Ramey in their new camper- it was a fun time!

 (see those fun 'Hoopes' basketball jerseys!)

 (Once again the kids couldn't get enough of Uncle Stan's Horse Walker turned Ultimate Swing!)

 (The second day we sported these halarious t-shirts that read, 'Stop Staring at my Balls'- ha ha)

(These two are such 'Frienemies'!)

(Wild game of Flag Football!)

Uncle Stan's Buffalo visited us a few times in camp!
