JEPSON FAMILY REUNION 2012

July is always the month for our annual family reunion. The location changes each year depending on the family's choice who is in charge (we are next year). Last year was at Oak Grove, a 3 1/2 hour drive away. This year was at Yankee Meadows, a 1 hour drive. Much better. Camping pregnant is not my most favorite thing in the world. My biggest complaint was having to hike out to the port a potty a few times during the night. We always have a good turnout because our family is so big, and this year was no exception. I think there were 106 people there. Our family was missing Natalie and Matt (in Virginia), Josh (North Dakota), and my dad (working). Even with them gone we still had 23 people there. We camped Thursday-Sunday and had a great time.

Beckham sporting his whistle. Even though I instructed him to only blow it if he got lost, he blew it pretty frequently.

Sydney, Jada, Maya, Griffin, Caleb, Reagan ready to play paintball.

Beckham found out the paintballs are not to eat.

The older kids and a couple dads were good sports and let the younger kids just stand and take shots at them while they ran around out in the meadow.

The boys decided to remove this rock the kids kept tripping over and discovered it was much bigger than they thought. 

Of course it became a challenge to see who could lift it. 

Paige, Tatum, Beckham, loving life on the mountain.

My mom had this toilet left outside her tent as a prank. The kids thought it was great.

Ever popular Fish Pond.

Golfing

A treasure.

Caleb loved this. All his practice on the Wii payed off.

It rained off and on the whole weekend. This was one of the many downpours.

Building trenches.

Beckham and Tatum found the largest puddle to play in.

A little down time with a movie.

Beckham was exhausted.

Family picture with Grandma Jepson. And, let the swelling begin. Awesome.

Beckham could not get enough of the Rhino.

If he was ever missing he could most likely be found here.
