Family Reunion


This past weekend we had our Bennett family reunion. Every year we go to Mink Creek (I hope I spelled that right) it is in Idaho. There is a really nice camp ground that is all grass and big pavillion to sit and eat under. This year my Aunt Jane and Grandma bought a waterslide for the kids to play on. We went up Friday afternoon and Kenzie went right to slide and played on that slide until we shut it down at dark. She didn't even get up the road on the way home and she was sound asleep.
When we got back up there on Saturday morning at 8:30am Kenzie wanted back on the slide. She played again on the slide until it was time to go float the river. This year was really fun at the reunion, my kids and Ben & I had a great time.

And Kason played bad mitten until he couldn't see the birdie in the dark. Kason is in the black shirt!

On Saturday we floated down the Oneida narrows. I wasen't going to go at first but, when Ben was insistent of Kenzie going I thought I better go to keep her alive. Kason rode down on his own little black tube, He was to big to ride with mom & dad.

We had the best tube by far. As you can see I just sat back and relaxed all the way down.

I love this picture of me. I dig my awesome farmers tan.

Poor Ben Half way down the river, everyone wants to stop and rearrange on the tubes. If any of you have done this it is not so easy to stop a bunch of tubes when going against the current. Ben & Joe were the only men from our family that floated the river, so it was up to them to take care of all us women. It was a big job!
