Jepson Family Reunion

This year we were not planning on going to my family reunion due to the fact that I'm 8 months pregnant and not really in a camping mood, but Thursday we decided we didn't want to miss it. So we packed up our van (yes, I am the owner of a minivan:) and headed up to Tropic Friday morning. What an awesome family I have. I love getting together with everyone and hanging out for the weekend in the mountains. Granted, I wasn't the happiest camper this year and I probably (for sure) will never go again when I'm this prego, but it was so fun and I'm so glad we went. Grandma, Grandpa, Caleb, and Gavin. In the background you can see the smoke from the "controlled burn" that was uncomfortably close to camp and didn't seem very controlled, but it seemed to get further away as the weekend wore on.

As a result of the fires, there were helicopters constantly pumping water from the lake. The kids loved watching them dip into the water.

Trying to catch the big one.

Jada and Jersie, styling even in the mountains.

Casey caught this monster in the little stream by camp that is seriously about two feet deep. This thing weighs in at 7 1/2 lbs and is 29 inches long! And yes, it will probably be mounted on my wall:(

Caleb-sized fish.

Connor and Caleb doing the three-legged race.

Just chillin watching the races.

Silly Jada, getting ready to watch the family picture video on the big screen. Every year someone makes a video with all the pictures from last year's reunion (great job this year, Nat!). This is one of my favorite parts of the weekend.

Caleb catching a grasshopper at the lake.

Good times on the paddle boat.

And finally, the famous bat race. This year's big fall features Casey and Melissa:)

Enjoy!
