Poulter Family Reunion!!


I know you have all missed me so much! Craig's family on the Poulter side had a big family reunion in Mesquite, Nevada at the Oasis Resort! Needless to say, we were there for a while, but now we are home again. The Reunion was a lot of fun, but very hot! It was over 100 degrees everyday! Luckily there were lots of pools and air conditioning in the hotel. There were a lot of people at the reunion. . . 86 in all. It was fun seeing relatives we haven't seen for a while, and I was able to meet quite a few for the first time. Check out the pictures below to see what we did!

Bowling at the Virgin River Hotel and Casino!

This was Cade's first time bowling. We had the bumpers up and helped him roll his ball down the lane. He really enjoyed it at first, but after a while he just wanted to run around and try to escape into the Casino! Crazy Kid!!


Cooling off at the pool and lovin' the water slide!!

Lots of get to know you activities at the local church!


Two different nights while we were in Mesquite, we went to the local church for activities and dessert. One night we had everyone introduce themselves and we played a bunch of games. The other night, we did skits, and had a talent show. In the above picture, Ambree is playing with her second cousin, Kaylee. . . they are 2 days apart in age, although Ambree is quite a bit bigger!


Lots of babies to entertain each other! They had lots of fun playing with the basket ball while everyone else mingled and played games.


The Peach bandit!

One evening while we were in the hotel room, Ambree was on the other side of the bed being very quiet, so I checked on her and this is what I saw! She got into a bag of peaches that somehow ended up on the floor. She had one in her lap that had a few bites taken out of it, and another one in her mouth. She seemed quite content and pleased with herself!

Enjoying the St. George Temple Grounds!

On Saturday, we all headed up to the St. George Temple where Craig's cousin, Aaron Hickman, was married to a girl named Celia. While we were waiting for the bride and groom to come out of the temple, we had fun taking pictures. . .



Cade is such a little monkey!

Father's Day!!

On Father's Day, we went to sacrament mtng. at the local church and then had a little Father's Day tribute at the park next to the church. A member from each family stood and said some nice things about their father, and then Uncle Mike paid a tribute to Great Grandpa Poulter, which was really nice. There were also some musical numbers and then we were able to give the father's gifts and cards and hugs! After the Father's Day tribute, we loaded into the car and headed back to California . . . which was quite the adventure in itself!


Craig and Cade enjoy opening Craig's father's day gifts!
