We recently got back from Rock’s family reunion on Whidbey Island in WA.  It was lots of fun.

We woke the kids up bright and early and hit the road on our 12th anniversary.  Note to anyone thinking about getting married at the end of July.  DON’T.  There will ALWAYS be a family reunion on your anniversary.   And if you are an airhead like I am, you will totally forget that it’s your anniversary until your husband walks in with flowers….two years in a row.  But the kids gave us a wonderful present for our anniversary this time.  The BEST road trip we’ve ever had with our kids.  Everyone was great! 

Reagan is going to enter some pictures in the Southern Idaho Fair this month and so he was begging for the camera every five minutes of our trip.  Here’s one he caught of the sunrise that morning.

Pretty good for an amateur, eh?

On the ferry ride over to Whidbey.
Liberty has never been on a ferry and so when we told her we were going to ride a ferry she got really excited and said, “A ferry princess??”

We stayed at Fort Casey for the reunion.  Reagan took this picture of the deer out in front of the inn.

This is the amazing and cool family tree that Rock’s mom put together for the reunion.  I just love this.  I love seeing that ALL these people came from Grandma and Grandpa.  What an awesome thing families are!

Here’s our branch:

Attempting to keep the kiddos quiet at 6:00 in the morning so they wouldn’t wake up the whole of Fort Casey.  Yes, we drug our children sometimes.  It’s called TV.

Our family photographer, Sam Hymas took the official family photos for the reunion.  You can check out more of his work here:
