Turpin Reunion 09'

At the end of June we packed up the kids and headed off to Utah for Ronnie's family reunion. It was at Spring Haven lodge in the beautiful mountains east of Springville. Ronnie's dad is able to rent the facility for us through BYU and it proves to be a hit each year. It has enough room to sleep, feed, and entertain the whole Turpin clan (and that's a lot!) Ronnie's mom, grandma, and aunts put in a lot of work to make the weekend so much fun, thanks ladies!

Some highlights of the weekend...

• Turpin Family Olympics
• playing on the indoor play place (Beckham's fav.)
• getting to see all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and grand kids
• late night games with cousins
• Golfing for the boys
• early morning chats with aunties
• photo shoot with G&G Turpin
• Grandpa Turpin's dirty jokes
• family talent show and FHE

It really is a hilarious and exciting adventure each year. Ronnie's family is a hoot and I adore them all! I am a lucky girl to have married into such a wonderful, loving, and BIG family!

And it all started because of these two!

And now, bring on the flood of pictures!
