We went to the Yoder's house for a reunion with some of Brian's relatives. Uncle Pete and Aunt Liz and Grandma D were there. Their two boys, PJ and Matt and wives Kristen and Kim and their kids, Brian's brother Chris and Michelle and their kids, us, Bethany and Brian's parents. 24 people! People camped out around the house in tents, we ate tons of food, sat around the bonfire each night, watched slides from when everyone was younger, went tubing, and just had a great time together!
Arrival: the kids loved playing on the tire swing after the long car trips 
Setting up camp. (We slept inside because we have the youngest kids, and also a baby... and Brian had just camped out for a whole month and had had enough! :)
Ham roasting over the fire.
Linda going through the slides to find ones with the Petresens.
Tractor Ride with Poppa
Uncle Pete jumped in too!
Look at all that food!!
Dinner time. We spent every evening around the fire... eating dinner, reminiscing, making smores, and just staying up really late talking... especially about PROMO FEET! :)
Another birthday celebration for Brian.
Some presents for Daddy.
Kristen makin' bacon.
Natalie said, "Daddy's a good pancaker" (pancake maker, I guess? :)
Allie and Evan
We went to the local pool one afternoon.
Snack time.
Cousins
Doing pushups... can you tell they have military dads? :)
Playing Cornhole--A fun beanbag toss game. Brian is actually making a couple sets with Penn State colors... I'll post pictures once they're completed. 
Look carefully and you can see TWO on the swing!
Love this one of Adam 
Evan loves to scoot to the edge of the blanket to play with the dirt, sand or grass or whatever he can find. He's trying to crawl already but I'm not encouraging it... I like that at least one kid is still not mobile! 
We had grilled chicken, potatoes and corn one night.
Tubing Day! Hooking up the trailer to our jeep.
We were all tied together as we floated down the water.
Trying to get everybody in a line.
Couldn't take the camera in the water so we didn't get too many pictures but here we are ready to get back out.
Time for a snack while we pack up. 
The kids loved playing inside the tubes.
Last breakfast. Look at all that bacon!
The kids spilled dried pasta all over the dining room!
Time for goodbyes!
It was pouring rain as everyone was trying to pack up... thankfully God waited until the last day before letting it rain come! We had great weather!
Kim holding the umbrella for Matt
All the girls playing ring-around-the-rosie.
Poppa and Adam 
It was great to get to know some of Brian's relatives better (he has so many more than I do!). Hopefully we'll get to see you all again soon. Family is wonderful! :)
