Bradley Family Reunion 2010

I just updated our blog and was going to add all of these pictures to the Bradley Family one as well and decided it would take 30 min less to just copy and paste, so I did. So, sorry the words were for our blog...but guess today this is as good as it gets. Thanks to one and all for all your help and for everyone jumping in and having fun! We had a great time and hope everyone else did as well! PS...I would love to get some more pictures since we didn't have our camera out the whole time. If any of you have any that could email them on, that would be great! Thanks!

The whole family ... well almost, we did have a few missing. This family is amazing. We all have a great time together. It was fun to be able enjoy time bonding and having fun together!
Saturday we started off by doing a service scavenger hunt, then we visited for awhile, ate lunch, had cotton candy, Played Minute to Win it (I wish I had pictures, it was so much fun!), relaxed and visited and played more games, ate dinner, visited some more, took pictures and a lot of people hung around and sang songs together. We had a lot of fun and hope that the rest of the Bradley family did even though we tried to cram every bit of fun in that we could. We take turns and this year it was Larry and I's turn. It was a lot of work, but so worth every bit of it! Sunday was Chase's farewell, so we spent Sunday together and then I think everyone went home and crashed!
The red team. I went home to make popcorn because we were going to go to the fireworks so I missed out on taking pictures of all of the other teams. Bummer! I really need to get a hold of the other pictures.

Some of the kids having fun during some down time before dinner.



We were also able to get a cotton candy maker...the kids were in heaven!







Hanging out getting ready for lunch

Jaxson adores Halle. They have a great relationship and play so well together. He has been telling my lately he is going to Marry her. The other day our conversation went like this. Tyson "Mom, I am going to Marry Kenadee" Me "Tyson you can't marry her, she is your sister" Jaxson "Yeah Tyson, I am going to marry Halle" Me "Jaxson you can't marry her, she is your cousin" Jaxson "But mom I want to be with her Forever" Me "Jaxson you will be because you are family" Jaxson "But Mom, I want to be with her every day too." Lol.... I love that she means so much to him. He simply adores her!Tyson and his buddy BradKenadee got so much attention the whole reunion. Tanner kept coming around. He loves her...it is so cute. She loves him and loved the attention.
The Service Scavenger Hunt


Day 2 - We started the day off by the girls all getting glitter toes by my mom and I
(and lots of help), while the boys all played Basketball. After that we headed to the Aquatic Center to eat lunch and swim. We finished with Dinner there and then came back to our house for Snow Cones, Desert, Fireworks, an outdoor movie and popcorn, and some of us sleeping out. (That was personally one of my favorite parts of the reunion. I stayed on the tramp with some of the grandkids and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I love the fresh air when you sleep out.)











Day 1 - We met up at Tony's grove and ate lunch, canoed, some hiked to White Pine Lake, relaxed, visted, laughed, ate some more and had an overall great time in the great out doors! I wish we would have got more pictures of everyone...but someone did so I will have to get them. Jaxson and Larry went on part of the hike to White Pine Lake and the kids got tired so Larry brought them back.
