Brown Reunion 2013




Last weekend some of my siblings, brother-in-law, nieces/nephews and I decided last minute to go to the Brown Reunion (my mom's side), and I'm sure glad we did. We also met Keith there which was so nice to go camping for the first time this summer with him. Although my parents weren't there since they're in Peru, it was still nice to catch up with extended family. The weekend was full of floating the Onieda Narrrows (twice), swimming at Bear Lake, an auction, food, games (life size bananagrams), fun, laughter, campfires, roasting smores, campfire games and just hanging out with my mom's family, which is always a good time. I wish I had a better picture of Bear Lake for those of you who have never been, it seriously looks like the Caribbean, it's so turquoise! Get ready for picture overload!











Uncle Brian is the Mountain Man of the family







Excited to float the river!




Chillin on the lake




Wasn't too excited about the spot clear down on the end of the beach that was picked,  since it was so grassy, but it was the only way we could bring my cousins dog onto the beach, there was no one around us so that was nice since North beach was PACKED!




Life size bananagrams was a hit!





We hold an auction every year to pay for the next years expenses. Misti and I made some pillows that cost us $1.50 to make and they sold for $13.  Uncle Brian made a stool out of some wood and it went for $80!

Until next year!!!

  1. Hurray for Family reunions! It looks like you guys had a ton of fun! I can't believe how big your little man is... Where is the time going?! You're as beautiful as I remember and I love to see pics of your cute fam. Hope you're doing well my friend! PS- can you believe we met seven years ago?! NUTS.

  2. Seven years? I can't believe it! Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday. Man, it's crazy to see where life has taken us in those years. You're in grad school with the cutest 4 year old. I can't believe how big Carson has gotten either. I'm trying to soak all these moments when he's small in.
