Hull Family Reunion.

My family does regular summer vacations with the Schow side of my family, but not as much with my Mom's family. Why is that? Maybe because everyone is soooo spread out and getting soooo big! Regardless, my Uncle Bob & Aunt Lorraine hosted a reunion at their cabin near Eureka, MT this year and it was SO much fun! I saw cousins I hadn't seen in YEARS, and Nick was able to meet a bunch of people for the first time. He really hit it off with a few of the guys (Dan, Trevor, Jason and Steven) and said he had a great vacation. That makes me happy :) We were lucky to have fabulous weather pretty much the whole time there, and the lake was beautiful. Most of our days were spent at the lake, and in the evenings we'd have a big meal together (there were like 70 people there!). We also had lots of fun just visiting with everyone, playing cards, enjoying a family talent show and camping in the trailer. Nixon did great, and actually started sleeping in 7 hour stretches while we were there, waking up at 5am then going back to sleep after eating. Pure bliss. Enjoy the plethora of pics - I had a lot more good ones, but didn't want to bore you.

The kids had a great time playing with each other in the water all day everyday.
By the way...I'm pretty sure the ration of kids to adults was WAY higher on the kid side!
(ps I love how Kami is captured frozen in running position on the left of the pic. So cute.)

We basically forced my oldest nephew, Ian, to go on this ski/tube thing first
so that the rest of the grandkids would follow his lead. After some jealous competition,
they all ended up deciding that they had to do it just because the others had.
Haha. so typical.

Dani was 2nd to give it a try, and after about 5 minutes she even smiled ;)

My brother, Shane, and his littlest - Landon.

Nick, Dad and I at the lake.
(Dad and I were trying to suck in our bellies and look skinny. haha)

Nick with my cousin Andrea's littlest, Natalie. She had the BEST cheeks and eyelashes!

My beautiful mom, and Grandma Hull (the matriarch of this whole family reunion)

Ryan, Dad and Nick enjoying one of our nightly shampoo sessions
in the chilly (but gorgeous) water.

Everybody enjoying the lake.

My dad's boat was probably running 90% of the time while we were down at the lake.
I don't even want to know how much was spent on gas..... Thanks Dad!

Nick enjoying some wakeboarding.

Family Talent show. Jennica & the kids singing some songs, Dawson & Jackson
"break dancing", Brooklyn and the girls teaching Steven a dance,
and my Mom and her siblings singing a song from their childhood.

My cousin Brad, and Nick escorting Grandma over to the fire pit. So sweet.

(Not sure why this picture is sideways...) Nixon and Kingston (Megan's littlest)
were born just 2 days apart, but Kingston was born early
- hence why Nixon looks like such a fattie.

Trevor and his kids, Brooklyn, Bryson (sp?), Dawson and Madison

My dad took this picture. Way to get everyone to look, Dad........
