We traveled north all the way to Kallispell, Montana for the Reed Family Reunion. Thanks to Tyrell and Rose for letting us stay at their house for a night, so we could divide the 10 hour drive up a bit. When we got to their house, they surprised us with Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner (our favorite)! Thank you so much guys! We arrived in Montana two days before the reunion started so we could spend extra time with Wade's Grandpa. I blogged about him earlier. He's amazing! (see here) 
At the horseshoe tournament, I was an embarrassment to the game, so it was lucky for me that Wade saved our family's reputation with his skills!
All week long, McKay was the sweetest boy ever playing with little Jonathan. I'm always so grateful when people go out of their way to make my kids happy!
After enjoying church with Wade's aunts, uncles, grandpa, and LOTS of Canadians :) we went for a nature walk as a family. It was a beautiful thing watching my daughter pick daisies.
At the reunion, Emily fell in love with the puppy that belonged to Wade's cousin, Troy. We really made a connection with Troy and his wife, Kim at the reunion. Both of their first spouses passed away quite young, and it's amazing they found each other. What a sweet couple and with 8 kids, they really are an inspiration to me! We were so excited to learn that they only live 20 minutes away from us in Bountiful. We're going to have some awesome game nights together! 
Just chillin'! Catherine, Wade, Troy, and Kim
One happy family at Bitterroot Lake

One happy family at Bitterroot LakeI couldn't help but laugh when Wade was putting on his wet suit to wake board. He totally looks sexy to me, but I still had to laugh!
I was so proud of my boy flying across the lake on the wake board like he did. Wade's such a dare devil with his jumps and tricks. I love it!
One of the highlights of the reunion for me was my canoe trip across the lake to go catch crawdads. I went with Troy and Kim's son, McKay, and Nancy's kids, Kylie and Seth. I love hanging out with teenagers! Call me crazy, but their enthusiasm is just so contagious. These guys were a blast to be with and much braver than I was at catching crawdads, I might add. ;)

However when it came to basketball, I'm proud to say I beat Wade for the first time ever playing "horse," and then I lost on purpose when we played "pig" just so I wouldn't hurt his self-esteem. haha

What a great trip! You guys look like you had tons of fun. Always fun to get away and be with your loved ones.
I enjoyed the picture of Wade in the suit, too! Just kidding! I'm glad that you got to be with lots of family having fun, even if it meant your blog was neglected for a while.
Oh, and I haven't thought of spork wars in a really, really long time. Thanks!
Looks like a fun trip... and yes, your music is funny, but it's fun!
