Yearsley Family Reunion 2010 (pic heavy)

Matt and I were in charge of the Yearsley reunion this year. We decided to go to Thousand Springs Resort near Hagerman. Other than it being too close to the highway it was a great place with a big, grassy area not too close to the river and a big, fun swimming pool to play in. It was a great weekend, minus the wind and rain storm that hit Friday night. There was fishing, hiking, bocce ball tournament, yummy food, swimming, jumping off the high-dive for the first time for several people (woohoo!), alligators, huge sturgeon, fireworks, and great company! We are so glad that everyone was able to make and spend the weekend.

Chase and Ben hiked up the hill across the road from the campground...see how tiny there are clear at the top

Ben and Dustan (& their wives) cooked up a yummy breakfast


Mmm...there is nothing better than pancakes, eggs, and bacon when you are camping

Fathers and Sons Campout

This past weekend Matt, Chase, Trey, and Layton all went to Engisn Ranch (a church owned campground/ranch near Cle Elum) for the annual Fathers/Sons campout! I tried to convince Matt that Zander needed to go because he is a boy too, but unfortunately Zander is still to young! :) So he got to hang out with me and a bunch of my friends and their daughters.

They had a great time fishing (they got to eat some of the trout that they caught), roating smores, building boats out of styrofoam bowls and floating them on the lake, and of course the highlight is the GIANT slip and slide on the side of the hill. I must say that the slip and slide looks like a blast! The boys loved spending the weekend with their dad!
