Hatch Family Reunion 2012

August long weekend is usually the weekend that the Hatch Family has their reunions, and this year was no exception.  We headed out to a location we had never been before, and even though it was way farther than we expected it to be, we really did have a lot of fun. 


 It was pretty cool before the sun came out over the mountains, so we spent some time snuggling in front of the fire.



 Sleeping in a tent is always an interesting experience with kids.  They all stay up way too late, and then get up with the rising sun.  Gideon woke up at about 5:30am, so this is what he was doing at 8:30am.  I wish I could have had a nap with him!

Uncle Kim spent a lot of time pulling load after load of kids around in this wagon.  They had a great time!
 We were so excited to see Matt's Grandpa there.  We weren't sure if he was coming or not, but he made it.  He is now 94 and living in a home in Cold Lake, so we don't see him as often as we used to, so it was nice to have a chance to visit with him here.  Matt's older brothers Victor and Dale were able to make it to the reunion too.  This was the first time that I was able to meet Dale, and I had only seen Victor a handful of times since we were married, so it was great to get to know them better too.

 Saturday afternoon, we headed to a waterfall just down the road.  The trail down was really steep, but we made it!


 Uncle Kelly set up some ropes and the kids had a great time going across the river.




A great time was had by all!!
