Family Pictures At Moose Creek!

After seven years it was finally time for another Hill family extended reunion. Wow! It is amazing to see how all of our families have grown and multiplied since the last reunion. The reunion was held in Island Park, Idaho. The gathering point was at my parents cabin in Moose Creek. My dad managed to set everyone up in many cabins that were close by. The reunion was July 18-22 and then you could stay longer if you wanted. This year we had an over abundance of annoying mosquitos which was not fun.

The grandchildren had a major blast. Some of the acitivties were playing in creek, fishing, the annual duckie race down Moose Creek, roasting smores over the fire, GPS hunts, and of course the traditional rafting trip down Big Springs.

We were only planning to stay until Wednesday because Kent had to be back for work on Thursday. Drew and Dane begged and pleaded for me to stay and send Kent home with Carl since they were having too much fun in the pines. It took a little time deciding only because Luke is a busy body at 20 months and I have to watch him constantly or he will end up in the creek or the fire. Well, I ended up staying and the kids had lots of fun.

We took all the grandkids fishing with Rick, Jon, Melanie,Tracey,Trenton, and Grandpa up the road from the cabin. Grandpa helped Drew and Dane catch their first fish since daddy wasn't there to help, and I for one don't know what I am doing when it comes to fishing. Dane was so excited to finally catch a fish...they were brookie trout. We packed them all the way home so they could show them to dad when they got home. After being gone for 7 days I was glad to be home and back to civilization especially after seeing all of Dane's swollen mosquito bites, scraps, and sunburn from all their rough and tough play.
