Turner Family Reunion

Get Ready For Pictures!!!

Last week was the first Turner Family Reunion in Island Park, Idaho. We rented a HUGE house that amazingly slept everyone (that's 26 people!). It was beautiful! The house was on 2 acres that backed up to the Snake River. We had a pool table, hot tub, fire pit, and tons of space to just play and enjoy each other. It was so much fun!

The downstairs was the playroom where we played pool, ping-pong, Foosball, and dance-dance revolution.

Day 1
Hanging out by the river

Addie dons her swimming suit and matching hat and Sierra dons her trademark sunglasses.

What handsome boys!

Everyone enjoying the river

Our little Hitler (aka Kyle). He got some sand on his face and I couldn't stop laughing at how funny it looked!

Ethan, Dave, and Heath

How cute is this? Both Dave and Ben were out in the water playing with Ethan and Sammy.

Ben & Sammy

Bub (who is the sweetest little guy on earth)

Addie & Mom

It was a fun day just hanging out by the water. Only later did we realize that there had been leaches in the water (after Tiff found one stuck to Garett). Still fun!

Day 2 was off to Yellowstone (or "Pinkstone" as Marie would call it)

Pictures before we hit the road (we were only about 30 minutes from the park)

Cute. Cute. Cute! My little watermelon.

Day 3 was a float down the river

Mandy & Ben

Dave freezing his butt off. The water was so cold and I couldn't believe that he wanted to float in the tube instead of the raft.

We had 2 10-person rafts. Jim, Melinda, and Jk went in one with some of the kids.

Grandma & Caleb floated in another tube

This picture is a hilarious! Jim threw Melinda in the water (we all got our turn), and then they started "frolicking" around (their words, not mine) holding hands. A little cute, a lot funny.

Little Sammy with the most beautiful blue eyes

Marie. I love this outfit on her!

Eliza & Garett. Tiffany was really happy with me for doing this to his hair. Now we know what their little girl will look like! Just kidding Tiff.

The boys playing some football

Making smores! Lydia, Michael, Tiff, Mom, and Jk. If you notice, Jared is in EVERY picture. He would run into all the pictures I was trying to take.

Eliza & Heather...and Jared of course!

Mandy, Emma, Kami, Sammy, JK (shocking!), Ben, and Sierra

Dad (trying to block Jk's face), Dave, and me

Sam eating a marshmellow

Day 3 we rented a couple jet skis

Melinda heading out on one with Emma and Caleb

Kyle and Sophie picking flowers

Marie is just like her mom. She looks exactly like Kami, and they both share the same love for chocolate.

We finished are vacation together with our own version of the "Dundees". JK gave out the "Turnees" awards in all sorts of different catagories. Dave and I won the "So you think you can Dance" award cause of our awesome skills at dance-dance revolution.

Here is Dave celebrating his win with the classic "Carlton" dance move (and reminding everyone why we won).

It was a great vacation! I really can't thank my family enough for all the great memories made. I know how lucky I am to have such a wonderful, loving, and supportive family. I enjoyed every minute with all of you and can't wait to do this again. I love you!
