The Beav!!

Camp Beaver is my favorite family reunion!! It is held every other year and we usually go up to "Camp Beaver" but earlier this year it got vandalized and we had to find an alternate place last minute. So it was held in good old West Weber and Warren, it was still lots of fun!

Blake was only 9 months old last Camp Beaver and couldn't participate in all the fun, this time she was lots older and I think after just a few days she loves it just as much as I do! The Thompson family is up to 214 members now, we are getting so big it is crazy. I think having so many people is what makes this family reunion so fun and so special!

Here is some photos from Casino Night

Blake playing "gator." If you step on the wood the gators will get you!!

Blake #180 absolutely LOVES her "Thompson Shirt" she would wear it daily if I would let her. She has been waiting 2 years to get a new one. Her old one, which she still wears btw, is the one that she got when she was 9 mo old. So the moment of her getting her new shirt was an exciting one!



Here she is so excited about it and we are all glad it doesn't show her belly like her old one!

The next day were the Thompson Olympics. We start with a torch run from my Great Grandparents grave to the Warren Park. This picture of Rob and Blake running the torch honestly MELTS my heart! When it was her turn my little gal grabbed that torch and took off! She loved it!!

Blake got to participate in a few races in her age category. Some of you have seen my little Blakeley run in person, for others of you let me tell you...her arms and face make it look like she is running at the speed of light...her actual pace however is anything but quick! She is a bit slow but her determination couldn't be cuter!!

This has to be the single BEST picture I have taken of my daughter in her life thus far! I will cherish this picture forever because it shows just how "serious" she is about these races. As I said before looking at her face you would think she was the fastest kid out there, but looks can be deceiving :)

It makes me laugh every time I see it!!!

Masen and Blakeley showing off their medals from the races.

It was a hot day they had some buckets of water, sponges, and squirt guns for the kids to play with. The kids had a blast cooling off! Blakeley had fun "cleaning" this chair with the water!

I am so proud to be a member of the Thompson Family. Some of the greatest people I know are Thompsons! My great grandparents were wonderful people and great examples to me and anyone who knew them.
