Reunion + Family = Not So Controlled Chaos

Just got back from the third annual Peterson Family Reunion. Here are some highlights:

*Eating a disgusting amount of Oreos. No matter how different we are, one thing binds my family together. That's Oreos.
*Speed Scrabble...
*Lauren trying on the grown up cowboy boots
*Cole saying, "This horse loves me!" as the horse blows his nose on Coley's head
*Building a dam (no n) in the "river." I kept trying to take pictures of the kids, but they were like, "No thanks, we're working."
*Lydia playing in the mud. Her mom had to tell her to get dirty, but she really took it to heart.
*Our wind sail at the reservoir. Minimal shade but lots of excitement.
*Justin riding like a pro...He even rode bareback.
*This shot.
*Andrew being completely exhausted the entire trip.
*Finding out that Andrew is allergic to horses (like both of his parents).
*Seeing my brothers together. They're funny.

*The house. It was stellar. And just big enough for 23 people.

That is so cool. We're going to our first family reunion this Thanksgiving in Sacramento, Ca we'll see how it goes. It's for Peter's family and there are going to be a lot of people I don't know so I'm excited.
