We left last Thursday afternoon and drove 6 or 7 hours to Palisades Reservoir in Swan Valley, Idaho to go to Dan's family reunion on his Mom's side. We arrived around 8pm, we followed Chris and Levor (Dan's parents). Robert and Melinda arrived a few
minutes later with all their kids, and Angie, Gilbert and Andrew came a few hours after
that. Bill and Kendra were already there (Chris's brother and sister in law) and so were Kimble and Genet (Chris's other brother and sister in law). Genet also brought her daughter Jenna and her baby Claire. Grandma and Grandpa Smith came on Friday
morning and only stayed a few hours, they're always super busy and they only live a few hours away.
On our first night we ate hot dogs and made smores and the boys wasted no time getting filthy dirty. We set up our tent-with some help from Levor.
- funny sidenote, my Mom and Dad got us this awesome tent about 5 years ago for Christmas, and sadly, this was the first time we have ever used it. It's an awesome, huge, 3 room tent, easy to put up and take down, and we loved it.-
I got a bed made for Mason and Ethan in one room, and one for Dan, Aidan and I in the other. We slept ok, but it was pretty cold at night, so we had to keep warming the kids up.

What a fun trip. That tent looks very fun and sturdy, keyword being sturdy. I don't think I would go camping in a tent with the kids unless we had something like that. You're boys are so stinkin cute.
HOw fun. I love camping. Jon and I have a tent but it definately isn't as cool as yours. Can't wait to see everyone again. Thats stinks that your boys get strep so much. poor little guys
