Cassity Family Reunion 2013

We were able to head up to Star Valley for our annual Cassity family reunion with Patrick's family.  We had so much fun just hanging out and playing.  We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Cassity's house.  July 25-28
Ellie, Gavin and I rode up with Todd and Judy on Thursday and met Kati, Mike and Griffin.  We got everything set up and just hung out.  It was nice because we split up meals and had it all planned ahead of time so we didn't have to worry when we got up there.  Patrick and Derrick had to work, but were both able to head up Friday.

Loving the pop cycles to cool us off

   Friday Judy and I made a water blob and it was really cool!  It was super hot while we were there and having a pool and water blob set up was great for the kids.  Ellie wasn't hesitant at all
it took Gavin and Griffin some prodding, but they did play on it a little.  
Mostly just to try to get off of it.

They LOVED the pool though.  I am pretty sure all of Gavin's clothes were soaking wet by the time we were through.  He would go as fast as he could to just in.  I should have had him just live in his swim suit.
Judy found these cool blow up things that the kids loved...and Patrick and Derrick!
Gavin loves standing on his head like this these days.  Funny kid
We wrote letters to Uncle Eric since we missed him at our family reunion.
We roasted hot dogs for dinner over a fire!  The best way to eat a hot dog!
The neighbor had some animals and the kids loved feeding the cow.

He was nice enough to bring a baby goat out for them to pet too.

Uncle Derrick with Ellie, Griffin and Gavin.  He is the best uncle!  I love that Ellie is just grinning at him. 
 She loves him so much!
Gavin and Grandpa Cassity
We headed up to hike intermittent springs.  
It was a beautiful hike and I was very glad that Judy stayed home with Gavin.  He was so tired and when we got to the end it would have been hard to be carrying him the last little bit.  I was pretty nervous having Ellie hiking up the slippery slope, but with Patrick, Derrick and Todd I felt slightly ok with it...
We made it and the springs were actually intermitting a little bit.
Kati had a lesson in chopping wood when we got home.
Crazy kids!
We seriously never see Todd's hair out of place...I finally got a picture:)
We had such a great time together and spending it in beautiful Star Valley was great!
