The Rawlins Family: Family Reunion!

Last week we left for our Peterson side Family Reunion!!! We went to a place called Happy Jack Arizona! We left early on Thursday morning. It was almost an 12 hour drive!! It was a little long but really fun. On our way there we stopped at the Glendale Dam. It was cool because my grand parents, over the years watched year after year them building it. This was outside the building. We dipped Avery's feet in the fountain because it was HOT outside! Welcome to Arizona!!! Just to let you know all of my pictures got out of order and I don't know how to fix it. Sorry I will just explain each picture!

This is just a picture of part of our drive. We made lots of twist and turns and had really beautiful scenery to look at. It was not just a straight and boring drive.

On the way there everyone was happy and exited to get there. Avery did sooo good. We had to stop four times just for her. (poopy diapers) I think that was her way of telling us she needed to stretch! LOL

My mom took a lot of naps with Avery. It was hot with no A/C so she said it made them tired! It was a good excuse at least! Ha Ha

This is Cassie. She is 7 years old. She was sooo cute because it was the first time she met Avery. She went around saying how excited she was to have a new cousin. She also loved holding Avery. Her and her sister. Along with everyone else. Avery did good but got annoyed with everyone and just wanted to be with me, boomer, Shelly or my mom.

Avery with mamas shades on!

Opps same picture!

On the way there it was only my threesome family and Shelly and Scott! Believe it or not they did not fight!! So it was nice and peaceful. We jammed out to some Toby along with many others!

We had a big dinner and breakfast the next morning. All of my moms brothers and sister were there! We had about 69 people. It was good to be with everyone! My uncle Keith does this trick with all of the little kiddos!!

This is Peyton. I know that is not how they spell her name, but I don't know their way of spelling it. Sorry!! She is TWO days older that Avery but her mom got her the same day Avery was born!!! It was a really neat story of how she was adopted. So that is really special to me! We both got our girls on the same day!

Boomer, me, and little chicken slept in tent!! We were truly campers. Yes, Avery did good and yes, she slept all night!!! That is what everyone has asked!! LOL

Me and my Grandpa dancing! A very different kind then what I am use to! Not bumping and grinding!!! A guy came to the lodge and sang all sorts of songs! It was a blast, everyone dancing and having fun!!

Just playing with Grandma having fun!

This is were it was not fun!! The way home. Everyone was tired and dirty! We had seven people in our car. It was a little smoochy! Avery was getting really restless. On the way up I was able to nurse her while she was in her car seat. But there was no room to do that on the way home!

This is me going crazy Scott was crying. Avery was crying. Kristy was crying. Mom was sleeping! Me, I was about to pull my hair out! LOL But we made it safe and sound, with no one dying!

This was mt favorite part! Horse back riding! For what ever reason I love riding horses! I got to go twice. The first time was just Shelly and me. The second was me, boomer, Paul, and Tracey! Both times were funny and made great memories! I wish I had a picture of Tracey. She was absolutely funny!
