Morgan Family Reunion

After leaving the Bloomfileds we went on to spend time at the Morgan Family Reunion (Nathan's mother's side) near Stanley Idaho. I was wonderful to see everyone who came and those who were unable to make it this year were missed. A lot of fun was had by all and many memories were made.

Here Andrew is meeting his Great Grandma Donna Morgan.
Another "semi-bug-proof" game tent was set up and Tiana put it to good use again. This girl loves playing games!The loggers were working in the area while we were there. This was not only neat for the kids to watch but they were also able to hear stories of how their Great Grandpa Morgan was a logger!
Grandma and Grandpa's canoe got a lot of use out on the lake. This lake was so clear and beautiful!
Nick loved rowing in Aunt Cindy's raft. Ben enjoyed the ride.
Tiana had trouble figuring out the rowing of the smaller raft. So Nathan climbed in to teach her. What a funny sight! What a good daddy!
After a while Nathan got tired so he let Ben take over...too cute!
Here Nick is having fun with "the cuzins". Uncle Dave went out there to help swamp the canoe so Nick bailed out quick!
They all had fun flipping the canoe over and over again. They would climb on top of it while upside down, go underneath of it while upside down and yell, climb inside of it while swamped. They quickly learned that no matter how hard you try, you cannot sink this canoe!
Ben finally got comfortable going into the water a ways with mommy. Next year he will be all over this lake!
The uncles and cousins (including Nick) found some frogs and toads. Ben wasn't too sure of the little creatures. He is telling this one to "go that way".

"Here, let me help you with that." Ben is only 2 years old, but he truly believes he is much older and more capable. We have to keep an eye on him!
Helping shuck corn for one of our dinners. Now that was some sweet corn! My mouth waters just thinking about it!
Helping in the kitchen. Keep up the good work!
More kitchen help, Tiana was in the middle of it all doing what she was told.
This was how Andrew spent most of his time. Oh! so comfy!

Ben really took a liking to his cousin, Lexie. Actually she is one of Nathan's younger cousins.
Mom: "Nick, you did great with that axe."

Nick: "It's not an axe, it's a hatchet."

Mom: (slaps herself on the forehead) "Of course, what was I thinking?!"

Nick driving the (I forget what it's called!) with Uncle Mike. Tiana had a turn too. They thought that was pretty cool. Ben just enjoyed the ride.
Ben on the last morning of the reunion, "This was GREAT! Let's do it again!"
