Bear Lake Reunion - Day 2

So here's some pictures from the second day of our Hurd Family Reunion at Bear Lake. Sweet Little Logan was getting so smiley while we were up there. If you could make eye contact with him, you could get him to smile. Here's a few sweet pictures of him (he was 5 weeks old in these pictures)
Everyone loved having a new baby up there and so I didn't get to hold him very much! Here's Katie (Sterling's wife) feeding him and of course admiring his cuteness! (You can kind of see in this picture how he's balding from the eyebrows back! All of my kids have done this! They start loosing their newborn hair from the front to about the middle of their head and it leaves a nice mullet of sorts in the back! Sweet!!)

Here's Nathan playing with Uncle Sterling:

We had a Circus theme for our reunion so there were always fun activities for the kids that had to do with this theme and we had "Willi the Clown" come for a few days and do "clown school" with the kids and teach them how to be a clown and help them prepare for their very own Circus Performance on the last day of camp. Here's the kids with Willi on the first day of Clown School:

And here's Willi in his full Clown costume with little Brynne snuggling on his lap:

Nathan got his face painted like a clown at Clown School the first day but his attention span wasn't quite long enough, so he came and hung out with Peter and I for a little bit so we got a sneak peek of what the kids would look like for their Circus Performance. He was so stinking cute! Here's a few pictures of him all dressed up!

My Aunt also rented a cotton candy machine and a snow cone machine for the whole reunion too. And we all had so much fun making cotton candy and eating it! It added to the whole circus feel!

Grandpa Hurd brought all of his pictures and albums and everyone sat around and wrote on the pictures who was in them and what the approximate dates were and we listened to his stories about them. It was great! Here's my dad, Aunt Bev, my cousin Anne and Granny and Grandpa Hurd
We all had so much fun just playing games, relaxing and reading and spending time with family. Here's a group playing Catch Phrase. Left to right it's, Karen, Sarah, Katie, Ruth, Bev, Sterling, Bekah and Pete:

Here's Brynne snuggling with Grandpa Hurd:

Maddie and Lauren (again Maddie is pretending she's Hannah Montana - and her own version of a super star):

And Maddie and Emily, just enjoying time together. I love how much my girls enjoy spending time together. I'm excited to see Nathan and Logan have the same close relationship. And Tyler is such a fabulous big brother that he's close with all of his brothers and sisters! What sweet kids I have!

Sweet Nathan just being cute!


That night we had Karaoke. My dad brought up his system and speakers and we used the stage and little amphitheater that the girls discovered on the first day. And had a blast. Nathan was being a pill so I didn't get many pictures of that night. But we all had a great time. Peter did a full on performance of "Ice Ice Baby" (complete with sweet dance moves), Nathan sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", Maddie did "The Best of Both Worlds" from Hannah Montana and Tyler and his cousins sang, "YMCA". Here's Drew, Garrett, Caleb and Tyler while they were waiting for their music to cue up:
