Teton Reunion

Every year at the beginning of August we take a trip up to the Grand Tetons for the Bradley family reunion. For the first time ever we drove our RV up there and everyone joked about us bringing the Taj Mahal. Our RV is huge and we were so nervous to drive it up there because its further than we have ever taken it and the roads to the campsite are super narrow. It made it up there like a champ and it was so nice to have a toilet, shower, A/C and heater. I'm pretty sure we can never go back to camping in a tent!

When we got up there everyone was grumpy because our normal spot was taken and the occupants were a bit inconsiderate and rude. We have been camping in the same spot for more than 50 years and there have only been a handful of times when it is taken and we have to find an alternate spot. No one is ever happy about it. Other than that everything went well and we all had so much fun!

Breakfast of champions...on the road... 
 



My cute parents took the babies on a few walks and put them to sleep every time!


Tatum went on the bungee and knocked out one of his wiggly teeth. He was so surprised when the tooth fairy found him up at the Tetons!



The highlight of the trip is always the Olympics. We all gather round and play silly games and laugh at each other.



This game was so funny. You put whipped cream on your hand and have to flick it into your mouth. Tatum could never get the hang of it but came close a few times. Eric pretty much won every game and this one he got on his first try.



The pole game is every ones favorite. Of course Eric won this one as well.


And of course the classic egg toss event. Tatum and Noah won in their age group and Trey and Logan lasted one toss. Eric and I won in our age group!



We had so much fun playing games, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, playing volleyball, and jumping on the bungee.

 


The one and only time of year my mom will eat a hot dog :)






We spent 3 days up there and came home just to unpack, do laundry and repack to leave for California the next day.
