Schaffer Family Reunion 2013

This year we decided that it would be fun to camp at Grani and Bop's house before the family reunion.  So we hauled the camper over to their house on Friday night.  We got there after dinner time and got set up.  The kids got to play with each other and then we all headed to bed.  On saturday we got up and ate breakfast.  We decided that since there was going to be a parade in town for American Falls day we should take the kids to it.  It was something to do besides run all over Grani's house.

Here is the group that watched the parade.  

It was just American Falls and so the parade was pretty small but boy did they hand out tons of candy.  All the kids had so much candy.  Rachel walked home with Grandma Tracy and Amber's family.  Scott and I walked around the park.  Scott then walked me around the neighborhood and showed me where his great grandma Schaffer lived and where Grani and Bop used to live before the house they live in now.  

We had to go into Pocatello to get some money out of the bank and take money to another bank.  While we were there we hooked up with my parents to eat at the Mandarin House. As we were on our way to the Mandarin House we ran out of gas on Yellowstone Road.  It was kind of embarrassing but at least we had an extra gas tank in the back so we didn't have to push the truck.  Lunch was of course really good and then we sent Rachel to my parents house and Scott and I went to finish running our errands.  We picked up Rachel and then headed back to American Falls.  Jamie was there finally and Rachel was so excited to have Karlee there to play with.  They are two peas in a pod.

 Bop put up the swimming pool for the kids.  Karlee and Rachel though are at the fish pond.

 Jamie checking out some of the items for the auction tomorrow.

 Closer view of Rachel and Karlee.  Rachel loves the pond and playing with Hawg.

It was a beautiful night and so we eat our steak outside.  We helped Grani get ready for the reunion tomorrow after everyone was done eating.  It was fun hanging out and laughing.  Rachel got grumpy and so I put her down in the camper for bed.  She woke up around 9:00 and so we had to go to bed early even though she wasn't tired.  She was dressed for bed and that's where she had to stay.  I stayed up with her until she went back to sleep.
