Mayes Family Reunion 2008

Last week we had the Mayes Family Reunion at Island Park, ID and it was quite eventful. Tristan woke up Sunday morning (the morning we left) throwing up. We got him to settle down by giving him some bread and comforting him. He was fine all morning while we packed all the vehicles up at Matthew's parents house. We made it to Bozeman where we had lunch and Tristan ended up throwing up there too. We made it all the way to Island Park with no excitement and no food for Tristan only pedialite. The next couple days were eventful. Everyone went to the nearby falls and Matthew took lots of picture for me since I couldn't go because I was taking care of a sick child. Well since we were in the bunk house with only 1 window the germs just kept spreading. I ended up getting sick on Tuesday and was sick until we got back home and I started feeling better on Friday afternoon after I drank a 1/4 bottle of pepto bismol! It was nice to see all the family and meet the members that couldn't make it to our wedding. We had a fun 15 mile 4 wheeler ride to the top of a mountain on Monday which was at 11,000 feet. It was so beautiful and all 12 of us that went forgot to bring a camera with us! My brother in law Jamie said, " how can we all come to the top of a mountain and forget the camera's?" That I do not know. And then on Tuesday we went and tried out the peddle boats on the river and that was not fun because the currant kept pulling us and we weren't getting anywhere no matter how hard we peddled! so we ended up going to a nearby lake by the dam so the kids could swim. I stayed back at camp in bed all day on Wednesday, which was the last full day there and Matthew and the rest of the family went and floated and rafted the river for a few hours. I have included a slide show of the pictures from the reunion that we took, or in better words, remembered to take! To all the Mayes family it was nice to see you all and I hope you had a great time, and that not too many of you got sick!
