Family Reunion

This year Mike's side of the family had a Collier Family Reunion up at his grandma's house in Bellevue, ID. A nice little town about 4.5 hours from here. We woke up early on Thursday and headed up there. The kids did really well in the car. There was no crying involved the whole way. It was wonderful. We got up there and it was 3 days of relaxing and enjoying family. Some family members came that I havnt seen in 5 years. It was so great to have everyone there to enjoy the reunion. We did face painting and went to the park and did fireworks and just hung out with the family. We got to use our new tent and the nights were awesome! Cold but not freezing. We even had a birthday party for Sadie with all of her cousins. Saturday on the way home we were able to stop at McDonalds with Dave and Katie and their kids and let them play while we chatted. Then headed home. It was a great weekend and a great family reunion.
