Cute Kids Everywhere and Stuff We Did

U.S. Road Trip 2013
Part Nine

Our minimalist family reunion was as easy as I hoped it would be. There were cute kids everywhere and I was able to reacquaint myself with my nieces and nephews. I watched my parents be grandparents--they really are excellent in this role. I spent time with my siblings and their spouses. We were only missing two members--Jenn and her two-week old baby Link. We felt almost complete. These are my favorite memories of the 2013 Farm Reunion.
Cute kids everywhere

Farm family dinner  

Celebrating Grandpa Lawrence's 90th birthday

 
 My awesome extended family. 
Here's just one of my aunts and her family.
 Spontaneous (?) family water fights.
A Bjarnason family tradition that dates back to my my parents' engagement.


 Attending church with everyone.
I love sending my kids off to primary with a herd of cousins.


 An Eagle Court of Honor for my youngest cousin Porter
 A swim party
 J and his cohort-of-cousins.
 A and E and their posse
 All the other ways we passed the time together.




 I love my siblings and I'd drive cross-country to be with them any day.
