Thomson Reunion Saturday
While Nate and I were cleaning up our gear and tent, Allie decided she wanted to color. She wasn't sure she wanted to be in the cabin without us; so we set up a table and chair for her-obviously she then decided to use it her own way.
Chuck's 4-wheeler was available for rides. Kayla went with anybody who would take her anytime, but Allie refused to go except with Daddy. After her first ride, she realized what she'd been missing. I think she would have gone with anybody at that point.
Grandpa's got his two little girls-Cameron and Allison. These two are going to be good friends being only 6 weeks apart. They are finally starting to play together. It is really cute to watch.
I got my turn on the 4-wheeler too. Kayla was impressed when I drove it back. Of course, now the girls and Daddy want one. Kayla doesn't see why we can't go get one today while Nate is much more practical in realizing it would be awfully tough to haul with no truck.
Chuck also brought his rifle, and we all got to take a turn shooting. Nate was discouraged he didn't do nearly as good as the last time he shot at clay pigeons, but I was just happy to walk away with only a sore shoulder and not a giant bruise.
Emily was such a good babysitter. She always had a least one little kid with her. She would make sure they were covered in sunscreen and bugspray, entertain them, and keep them safe. From all the moms-Thank you Emily!!!
We all had a really nice time. Thank you Linda and Bill for organizing everything. We appreciate all your hard work. It was so nice to see everybody again, and especially to see how well everybody got along. Of course it was also a nice extra bonus to have Nicholas home from his mission and Terra fly home to surprise everybody.
