Cook Reunion - Heise

Some how the idea of having a Cook Reunion came up, so I helped my mom notify everybody of it and roughly put something together (this was at the end of July). The main purpose of the reunion was to try and get a bunch of my cousins together, since we haven't done so in quite some time. The reunion was to camp at Heise, go swimming, and to do a family dinner. The camping went well except for the horrendous amount of mosquito's. Swimming was good it was nice and warm out. The family dinner didn't last very long because a huge wind storm decide to break it up, not that very many family members showed up anyway. It was bad enough huge branches on trees were breaking and we were told we would have to leave because of the danger of another branch breaking. Not many of the few that showed wanted to continue the dinner back at camp so most everyone went home. We had fun with those who did show up, but for the most part I would have to say it was not a success. Here are captured moments of the weekend.

Chase & Emmalee really enjoyed playing with Oreo

The many face of Emmalee, such a ham

Gabe was really loving Oreo as well

Clayton

Mekenna

I promise you she is part fish, Mekenna absolutely loves the water

I love this picture-- I am not sure what was so funny, but Chase was laughing so hard I think he had pop coming out his nose. I love seeing Clayton's face in this picture.

Brooklynn was playing with small branches from the wind storm. You can see by her hair how windy it was getting, and this was calm compared to how hard it did blow.

Grandpa & Grandma Terrill Reunion

In July my Grandpa & Grandma Terrill had a family get together at their new house in Jackson Hole. We gathered and had lunch, visited and enjoyed each others company. Shawn had to work so I went for a few hours, but we also had plans with friends the evening so I had to get home for that. I didn't do very good at getting many pictures, but here is what I did get.

Chase playing croquet with his cousins

Gabe playing as well
