1. Bugs, mostly mosquitoes
2. Dirt
3. No beds
4. Heat
5. Few showers
6. Small children and camping . . . .not my idea of fun.
But then I was told that we were going to Camp Zarahemla, and there would be:
1. Strict dress code of sweats and t-shirts
2. Cabins with beds
3. An actual kitchen to prepare grubalicious food
4. I could go shooting
5. Lake
6. Volleyball
COUNT. ME. IN. I figured I could let all the other things slide.
We just got back and let me tell you, it was a BLAST! My kids had a fabulous time, Damon's middle name should be "Camper" because he is just so good at it, and I held up pretty well, although I did scour in the shower for quite some time tonight after we got home. So now that I am all clean I will post some pictures for your viewing pleasure.
It was a great time. I wouldn't have changed a thing. I can't wait for the next reunion.

It's funny about family reunions. They always sound, not too great at first, especially if the great outdoors is mentioned. (BTW I feel the same as you about camping,just count me out is my attitude.) But when you get there and see everyone together and start having all kinds of fun, suddenly family reunions seen like the best thing imaginable!
that looks like so much fun!!! i didn't enjoy camping for a long time..then when we moved to maui we started going a lot..AND now that we have ella i really like it...we're planning a big camping trip over labor day weekend..ella keeps saying "2 more weeks i go camping"!!! loved the photos..especially with you shooting your gun!! that's crazy!
You Reils have some incredible genes. Those babies are the cutest babies I have seen in a long time. I thought it was just your kids, but it's your nieces and nephews too.
Looks like so much fun! And it's great to see Tanesha and her adorable boys.
I love Camp Zarahemla! What a fun vacation. The volleyball shot is . . . interesting. Nice to see the guys are confident enough to pull those outfits off. But not really!
such a fun reunion. LOve the fishing pict with damon and b-man. clare-ita sure is a mini bekie too.
I second all that you wrote! It was a blast, what can I say, we can't help it if we're so much fun!!
Fun, fun, fun! It is so fun to get together with the whole family isn't it. It looks like you guys had a blast.
My favorite picture is the first one with all the sexy boys! I especially love Damon's pose, he must practice that at home in front of the mirror!
I had a blast too! Can't wait for next year!
I don't know if I would call the first pic a viewing pleasure...they did get better though. Glad to see you had a fun time. And there is nothing better than being able to shoot a gun outside. Waay better than being in a cramped shooting building.
Lisa detests camping. That is unless it is camping like you guys did..then she is OK with it.
Wow, that first picture was pretty hot. I especially liked the guy sportin' the speedo-type trousers. Nice.
Your family reunion looked like a ton of fun. Cabins make the trip a lot better, that's for sure! I loved the baby pictures, too. How fun for those cousins when they get a little older!
Looks like loads of fun! I didn't know you enjoyed shooting! Awesome!
That picture of the babies in the diapers is so cute!! You should of put it right next to all the half naked daddies!!! So funny!
what a fun reunion!!! looks like a great time! I love the pictures! That first one is hilarious and I love the ones of you shooting! I am very impressed Libbie! Cute videos! Glad you had a good time.
I love the videos. Your girls are the best!
We had so much fun with you and the whole family. It was great and we can’t wait for the next year.
I love all the family pics. The one of the guys at the beginning I am not sure what to think. Anyway, I am glad that you all had fun. Where did you guys all go? I love your family. I miss them a lot sometimes. You guys were all such a big part of my life. Again thanks for sharing the pics.
Thanks for the note. Did you guys actually go get your couples massages? If so, did you like them? Also thanks for the comments on my blog. I'm always up for a pedicure! Anytime! It looks like your family reunion was a blast! I wanna be a Reil?
