Lambert Reunion 2010

At the end of July, Wendy's family (the Lamberts) gathered in Flagstaff, AZ at the Little America Hotel for some reunion fun!  We started the trip off with a loaded truck and a beverage for Jake.

We arrived Wednesday night and went to Salsa Brava (a restaurant featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the food network).  Pretty good food, really good salsa bar, better company.
 3 Hughes cousins with Tanner and Parker
 John (Wendy's brother) Joan and Boys
 Savannah holding Emma, Wendy, Parker, Jacey, Thomas and Kody
 Jake, me, Marsha (Wendy's sister), Paige, Tony, Talia, Karen and Debbie (both Wendy's sisters)
 Porter eating the crayons
 Porter was totally tuckered out and fell asleep on the ride home and stayed in this position while we changed him into his p.j.'s.

Thursday was spent hanging around and welcoming the rest of the family to Flagstaff.  We all went to a yummy pizza place that night.
 Sweet Emma, Entertained Jake and Sleepy Porter

Grandpa and Grandma Lambert's pizza heavily anticipating their slices
Thomas, Jacey, me, Porter, Jake, Tanner and Lindsay (believe it or not, I had 2 pictures to choose from and this is the one where Lindsay looks the most interested to be with us. Ha! Love you Linds!)
 Emma is puckering up for big wet kiss
 Porter slathering pizza sauce on my arm, thanks.
 Kody enjoyed it a little too much, I think
Seriously Emma, I know you're super cute, but you should share that cookie with some of us.

When we got back we had a family meeting and some games.
 Porter getting some quick exercise in on the stairs before the meeting
The couple who started it all, we love you Grandpa and Grandma Lambert
 Jake, me, Thomas, Emma and Jacey playing a game of LIFE after Porter went to bed
Jake having Thomas watch some video of people playing video games, apparently it was really funny

Friday was spent outdoors until the rain started pouring down.  We ended the day with 1000 people crammed into the corner of a hotel room for a family picture in our reunion t-shirts.  It was awesome.
 Wendy and Paige took Porter for a dip in the pool

Sorry I don't have any pics of the whole fam pic, but believe me, there were a lot of us crammed into a corner!
Shortly after this picture was taken, Jake Porter and I got on the road to so we could get home for our next adventure the next morning!

Oh the fun memories of the family reunion... DOUGHNUTS?!?!, playing LIFE like 20 times, Kody micromanaging breakfast, etc. etc. These pics are great!! So FUN!

p.s. Dad, I don't think 'squirck' is a word. And even if it was, I doubt it would be spelled that way...
