Bates Family Reunion 2011

Every year we have a big family reunion in Gandy Utah with the Bates family reunion! There is always a ton of family there and we all have a great time. I usually take one of my sisters kids with us one at a time and they love it out there. ( not that Lainey dosnt have enough cousins to play with but the Lees beg to go with us!) This year it was Bryces turn but Rachel REALLY wanted to go (She got to go last year)  so Bryce gave up his spot so his sister could go. Well it ended up we took them all. Everyone thought I was crazy to bring along 3 extra kids but they had fun...we squished all in the truck and the trailer and called it a vacation! Here they are catching crawdads...they all loved it!

 Aunt Gen got Lex to sleep!
 All of the crawdads were the size of the little ones... except one!! HE was a monster
 Someone forgot her flip flops so here we are sporting it hillbilly style! Hailee got a slip n slide for her birthday so we set it up behind our trailer and everyone had a blast!



 We also went swimming in the swimming hole...beautiful warm 70 degree water!






 Here is Casey and Jerald getting our dinner out of the pit!

 And the talent show...the kids HAD to do something they sang Am I the only one...

 Lainey and her cousins Tayler and Carlin.
 A trip to Gandy wouldnt be complete without a trip thru Crystal Ball Cave.... Bryce and Carlins 1st time thru the cave. Lainey held Carlins hand the whole time so she wouldnt be scared :) So sweet!





 We brought Tayler home with us to stay for the week...we had a blast having here with us. She even helped us make BUTT Rolls
