Wallowa Lake Reunion

Lots of Pictures!

This past week we spent at Wallowa Lake in Joseph Oregon. It was a blast! Everything from crafts to go-carts! We love going camping and its getting more and more fun as we all get older and have our own families.

Everyone enjoyed the boat! Tubing, skiing, wakeboarding and just jumping off!

Damon loves the wind in his face! He just thinks it's the greatest thing ever!



Damon and I

This little squirrel snatched a doughnut and was eating as fast as he could!


All the McGary grandkids minus one



Damon and I, poor little Damon looks uncomfortable, but he was smiling the whole time we were riding. 2 years ago I was 8 months pregnant and I couldnt ride with everone else, so I was really looking forward to this this year!


Keenan and Juan

My mom and dad planned lots of things for the kids to do to make a fun time for all! The first dat it was making necklaces and bracelets! The next they were painting cute little jewlery boxes!

Heather brought up little wood projects to put together and paint for the boys! They loved it!

Hangin out after a fun day!






Eating Dinner!





We all had meal assignments and my parents brought up a turkey that they roasted, but didn't have enough time, so it had to be put on the grill to finish up. You wouldnt think that we would eat so well while camping! Yummy!

Getting it started










Another day my dad planned bug barns with catchers!

Keenan loved to climb in here! He thought he was so smart!
We loved being together with everyone and can't wait for another time to all get together again!

Madison County Fair


Damon loved watching to carousel go round and round!


We live in the elite part of Rexburg I think! We are right across the street from the Madison County Fairgrounds and a couple of weeks ago they had a fair. Not much as we are used to the Benton-Franklin County Fair in Tri-Cities, but it was free to get in, and you can't not take what

free. We did buy Keenan a bracelet to get on all the 4 rides he could get on! He was totally lovin' it and was crying at first because we were waiting for our friends to get there so he could ride with them, but it was so sad to see him over by the rides and crying and reaching out to them, and then to us. It was a good thing we did get him a bracelet because he would go from one ride to the next, and saying "ah right" his new favorite words! He says them for everything he does!

I just had to post this picture of the boys the day we got to Washington. I put them on the bed cause they were both exhausted and sleeping when we got there. They were separated at first and then when I went to check in on them, this is what I found! They are so cute together!

A trip to Washington

None of these pictures are going to be in order, but thats how they are. While I was in Washington, we went and saw watched the motorcycle races that my brothers compete in. It was so much fun and the little kids are so cute to watch! I wanna race now! Seth took 1st, and has I think the last 3 times! Amazing I know! Tyson was doing really well until he crashed.




Lft-rt: Seth, Tyson, and my uncle Ben


The gang haning out! Now why would I not wanna live so close to everyone? Look how fun life is!



When my parents came home for Colby's graduation, the kids and I went back with them for a trip to WA for about a week and a half! It was a well needed trip, and it was good to get away, but is always nice to be home. I am worn out! Juans sister, boyfriend, and brothers, all came back and caravanned down with us. We had tons of fun, but I am already missing home. Its a good thing that next week we have a reunion at Wallowa lake, that I can see everyone again. I don't think that I'm made up for this sort of thing to come and go. I need to just be home permanantly. But until then, we just keep going on with school and work. Juan started working on campus with a lot of his friends on the grounds crew. He loves it to say the least, and it shouldn't be qualified as work.







Swimming at the Othello water park














At my parents house, sending Damon down the zip line! I loved this swing. My parents ordered it just for Damon! Its his own special swing!
