We don't get to hang out with our Ivie cousins from the north very often, but we couldn't miss this opportunity to head to the reunion this year - especially when we found out that it would be held at a campground with a swimming pool!
Plus, we got to break in Nana and Papa's new camper trailer. Klive approved, I think.
Cousin Heidi planned a ton of fun activities for the kids. By the end of this one, the soaking wet kids realized there was no winner.
We love spending time with Grandma Nadine. As usual, she supplied the giant chocolate cakes, sourdough pancakes and chokecherry syrup. While sitting around the campfire late one night, a big, fat raccoon tried to take off with an entire cake in his grubby mitts. Luckily we caught him brown-handed and sent him packing.
The pool time made it epic! Cousin Eric's a real-live scuba diver who dives for treasure in the ocean. He's also a certified instructor. These girls brought their scuba gear and he pseudo-certified them in the pool.
We couldn't get them out of the pools after they became diving pros. We even took a little polar-bear plunge in the glacier water pool to prove we were super tough. It felt like a raging ear infection mid-dunk, but we played it super cool!
I snapped this cute picture of my mom and dad. That's probably my one good shot for the year!
How did we go so long without this fancy trailer? Now this is camping in style!
Klive decided these cousins could be his best friends after they spent an afternoon tossing him around in the pool. Thanks Connor and Bryce for being his buddies!
We had so much fun, Klive had a hard time taking off the scuba gear when we got home.
