FUN at the Baker Reunion!!

We had a great surprise last week! Ben's attending Dr. had to leave for the week and she let Ben have 3 days off! It just happened to be the same week as my family reunion. So we packed up and left Wednesday at 3am and arrived on the mountain about 12 hours later. It worked out perfectly!

Ben jumped right in and took some great swings at the 'adult's pinata' and Holdyn had so much fun swinging at the kids pinata.

There are a LOT of pictures.... sorry. We had such a great time and we were so glad to spend some family time in the mountains. Holdyn and Kimber both played hard all day and slept great in the cool mountain air in the tent. It was fun to see everyone that was there and we missed those who couldn't make it!
