More August Rush cont...

Last weekend, we went our Gibbs Family Reunion in Boise, ID. We had a really great time with Mike's family. Aaron thoroughly enjoyed himself. He loved everything we did and he's been asking to go back to Boise to have some more adventures. Thanks Aunt Sherlyn for the great time!
Here we are out at Cascade lake. We had a little storm break up the fun for a few minutes. We all squeezed under the canopy. It was pretty funny.

Rudy was king of the canoe. He took most of the kids out for a ride and even took Grandma out for a ride.
Aubrey really enjoyed going in the water. She wasn't afraid to make a splash!
Here she is playing in the sand with her cousins, Eliza and Lauren.
We went to the little town rodeo in Cascade. It was our first time ever at the rodeo. It was pretty fun and the kids enjoyed themselves. Aaron loved watching all the riders. And Connor made friends with some of the local kids. :)

Here's the Gibbs family. Wow, we sure have grown! Below are the new additions from last year. Tristan, and Jake were adopted by Ding and Christy and then we had five girls all born within nine months of each other. Autumn, Eliza, Olivia, Aubrey, and Lauren.

This looks like a fun reunion. Your kids are all looking so grown up, especially little Aubrey, she is such a doll.

Ha ha! Fortunately, the bees are dying in droves. Check out my BD review on my book blog--www.kaliesbookblog.blogspot.com. You will probably have to scroll down a ways. :) Just for a heads-up.... I LOVED the book. :) Want to kill the squealer who leaked Midnight Sun, though! Check out the FAQs on Meyers' website. Answered some of my biggest Qs.
