"We are a family, like a giant tree"


It's a song - in case you were wondering. And we're not really like a giant tree yet, but it fits. So the end of July we traveled to Vail, Colorado for the Maxwell family reunion (so my family). It wasn't the big huge family tree like last year, just my parents, their kids and our kids - so my immediate family (if you can still call it that). When I first attempted this post, I started making one of those slideshows, but there was still WAY too many pictures, and I thought nobody but my family wants to see them all anyway. So . . . here's the shortened version (even though by the end you will be saying "that was the short version?")

The yellow bandanas

"hike" through some really cool gardens


playing at the cool tree fort park

riding the gondola to the top of the mountain

Family Olympics!
bubble blowing contest

piggyback race

Corbin's 2nd place in the discus (aka paper plate toss)

Jump rope contest

Trying to get a picture in the village - 20+ shots and this is the best one

Alpine Slide in Breckenridge

Best part of the reunion . . .being with family, of course!

Love you guys!
