Kay Family Reunion 2010

"There is fun to be done"~Dr. Seuss

Meet the Blair Kay family. In case you get lost, there are 31 of us.

Thirty-one people for three days looks something like this:

17 grandkids in tents....

Just as many in the bounce house.....

And just as many in the pool.......

This black sled was supposed to be used to wash grass off of feet, but the kids decided it made a perfect hot tub instead.

And of course, no family reunion is complete without some Dutch oven cooking & smores....

The theme this year was "Generations of Champions" and we certainly had our fair share of Olympic hopefuls...

We had plenty of gold medal winners.....

And plenty of hungry Olympians....

We also took the kids to Warm River........mostly to give Grandma & Grandpa a break, but also to feed the fish. The trout swim in droves just waiting for a bite of bread.

Then Broc took us to the headwaters......thankfully he knows the back country like the back of his hand:

We always tease when we go home that we're "in God's country." It sure felt like it this day.

That night we all went out to Craigo's for pizza and then watched a movie on the side of the house. Yes, I said the side of the house. It was awesome. Cold. But awesome.

The family talent show deserves it's own post, but let's just say it will be remembered forever.

"Welcome to the Kay's where we do it your way...but don't get crazy!" My niece Kaylie was the best Bon Qui Qui that ever there was.

Carter showed off his mad scientist skills. The oohhs & aahhs from the crowd as he made a volcano explode made it all worth it.

Camdon and Jamon were Pedro and Napolean Dynamite. Jamon nailed the dance.

Broc (our resident cowboy) roped a cow. It was pretty awesome.

Mom always comes up with the best stories. She had 'em eating out of her hand...

She even had a musical number to go with her story......

It was a wonderful three days. I'm so grateful for my father and mother-in-law. They went to a lot of trouble to make this event memorable for everyone.

"Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family:

Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."

I couldn't agree more.
