Last week, our Palmer family got together in Star Valley, WY for a reunion. It was such a great week for us! Lots of cousin and grandma/grandpa time for Arden and tons of fun activities for everyone. We played tennis, golfed, swam, played games, tie-dyed shirt, made crafts, laughed, talked, and of course . . . ate a ton! Because let's face it, it wouldn't be a real Palmer party without a load of good food.
Grandma with all 7 grandkids. Grandma (mom) was so amazing with the kids all week. She did some serious time at the pool, playground, in the kitchen, etc all to the benefit of these grandkids she loves so much. Thanks mom for all you do!
Giant sprinkler and four crazy kids - hilarious!
Brad and Mitch waiting for the big pitch in the foozball game.
Arden hanging with her cousin Nate. They are both mellow and got along great!
Halle and Arden in the classic "cousin tub picture". I can see the future blackmail opportunities already.
We had a family talent show (a.k.a. family freak show) and Halle showed us her darling ballet dance in this fantastic outfit. There are no words for the level of cuteness here.
Spence and Gav workin the crowd at the family freak show.
Dad and his old bff/mission companion, Ron Tiechert. Their family came up for a bbq and we had such a ball catching up with them.
Carter and Jae - kodak moment.
I loved this picture! It's like the perfect expression on both of them. I feel a framed black and white coming on.
Halle and Aubrey wearing their delicately-crafted princess crowns. Designed and created by the two princesses themselves, of course!
On our last day we rafted down the Snake River - what a blast! We had to go in two rounds for babysitting purposes - this is round one: Mom, Dad, Mitch, Randy, Jenni, and Gavin.
Round 2: Randy, Jenni, Nicole, Mitch, Gavin, & Halle.
What an amazing week! Thanks to everyone for traveling, planning, cooking, babysitting, cleaning, and coming. It was a family memory we will never forget!
