VanEpps Reunion 2012

This past weekend was our VanEpps (my mom's side of the family) reunion up in northern Arizona. Our kids had a great time searching for treasure, running around outside to their hearts content, (You can't really do that down in the valley where we live right now, way too hot!) and being with a gazillion of their cousins. My mom's parents were able to make it too. They weren't sure if they would. My grandpa is now 92 and my grandma 88. Glad they were there though, I told them we couldn't have a VanEpps reunion without them! They have had a wonderful life with lots of adventures, four daughters, 23 grandchildren, and 37, I think, great grands with two more on the way. What a legacy. So glad we were able to make it.

Minute to win it was a highlight Saturday night
Some blasts from the past. My aunt Diane blew up some pictures of a few of us at reunions from the past. So fun to see these pictures again.



Treasure hunt. Chase didn't leave this pit for over an hour and as a result whenever he was done he had found 5 dollars in change! Love his dedication. He's so focused
The boys checking out their loot
My brother and his cute April made it. So glad they did! They helped us represent the Peterson side of our family. Here they are with my grandma and grandpa with my girls (i love saying that!)

My grandparents with most of their great grandkids
Cute brothers
Easton and his precious daddy. Easton has always been a daddy's boy. I don't blame him, Cort is pretty loveable.
The rocket was a HUGE hit (check out Easty's face for proof) :)
Handstand contest


Avery was a little angel and did this most of the time while we were there.

I LOVE this girl soooo much!
