Reunion 2012 - Kailee's Baptism

 Our niece, Kailee, was baptized down here.  We felt blessed to be able to share this day.  Because they are from Utah, we wouldn't have been able to go otherwise.  Kelly conducted the meeting, Kelly's brother, Bryan gave a wonderful talk about Baptism and Kailee's Daddy, Gus baptized her in the same font that her Mom, and her aunts and uncles were all baptized in.  It was a beautiful and special day.

Reunion 2012 - Beach

Our niece, Kailee's birthday is June 15th and being from Utah, where there are no beaches, she chose to celebrate her birthday at the beach.  So, despite weather predictions of 66 degrees, we went to the beach to celebrate with her.  Freezing doesn't even begin to describe how cold it was.  Even though it was cold and windy, some of the kids still went in the water and played, while us adults stayed huddled in our swimsuits and sweaters.  Our plan was to have a bonfire at the beach but as the day progressed we realized that we wouldn't be able to stay until it got dark.  We ended up leaving and Nani Susie ended up getting a fire pit and we had our little bonfire at Nani's house and roasted smores.  It was a fun day and we were so glad to celebrate Kailee's birthday with her. 

Reunion 2012 - Scandia

 Kelly and I live close to Scandia and we have never done more than miniature golfing there.  One of the reunion activities was to go there and ride the rides and miniature golf.  In the above picture the kids are posing at the golf course as we wait for an extremely slow family of 5 as they take 10-15 minutes at each hole.  Regardless, the kids had a great time golfing.

 I don't know how I got such a good picture of the roller coaster.  It's a good one because we know every single person in every car.  This roller coaster may be smaller than many other roller coasters I have ridden, but it's certainly a good one.  It's fast, it's rough and it's bumpy.  Everything great about roller coasters.

 Hunter, Mason and Preston.  Hunter is not a thrill seeker.  It was only by pure luck of being short that he was able to save face when the rest of the family went on the roller coaster and bigger rides.  This ride that the picture was taken on was the one ride that was Hunter's favorite.  Him and Mason went on it numerous times.  I would even venture to say he went on it at least 15 times.  It was especially funny to see that him and Mason would often be seen sitting next to random girls who didn't have anyone else sitting with them.  There was a big group of kids that came to the park for a field trip and Hunter and Mason decided to sit with different girls when they rode instead of sitting with each other.  When I asked him why he was sitting next to strangers, his reply, "They were by themselves."  I'm not sure if I think this is extremely sweet or if I should worry.  Regardless, it is cute.

 Mylie and Tylie, best buddies.  This ride and the slide were Mylie's favorite. 

Kelci and Hunter.  Again, Hunter sitting with a cute little blonde who happened to be sitting all by herself.  Although, this time he actually knew this little cutie. 

Reunion 2012 - Championship Games

The following posts will be part of a few ongoing posts that relate to the same things, a Kerr Family Reunion.  Kelly's Dad retired and because of this retirement ALL of Kelly's siblings and their families came out to celebrate.  We had a fun time spending so much time together with family we rarely see.  Sadly, at this same time Kelly's Grandpa got sick and ended up passing away while everyone was down.  I think it was a blessing to be able to have everyone down. 

 While everyone was down, Hunter had his Championship baseball games.  His team ended up losing both games but it was fun to have the support of his cousins and family.
