Thompson Reunion 2010

This year's Thompson reunion was the weekend of July 30th-Aug. 1st, which just happened to be at the same time as the Pugmire reunion. So...we compromised and went with the Thompson's the first day and then Bryce stayed to help his parents, who were in charge this year, and I took the kids to mine for the 2nd and 3rd days. The first day ended up being an eventful one before we even got there. We awoke to find that a skunk had decided to dig a hole and take up residency under our house; thankfully it didn't spray. Then once we got to Montpelier, we went to get Brandt's hair cut, which was quite the fiasco. Finally, my sister talked him into "cleaning" one of the chairs in the salon with a squirty bottle and Kwinnae followed him around the chair, cutting as fast as she could. As you can see in the first couple pictures, he needed it desperately! Then we headed over to the hospital because Curtis was in the ER with a nail stuck in his thigh. He was there for most of the afternoon and evening before the anesthesiologist could get out of surgery and sedate him so they could get it out. How blessed he was that it wasn't in the bone, but was embedded right by it. FINALLY, we were able to head to Bennington to the wonderful place we were using this year.
While we were finishing the last of the packing and getting ready to head out, Brandt decided it would be fun for Kylie and him to try on the Mr. Potato Head glasses.
Kylie's face is getting so chubby that it left imprints.I love that he tries to include her when he plays; wonder how long that will last as she gets older...
Brandt had a great time playing with all the cousins. One of the favorite activities was the teeter-totter.

Not sure what the "legal limit" for the teeter-totter is, but pretty sure this exceeds it! :)
Kicken' back...


The pictures of Kylie in this stroller crack me up 'cause her hair blends in with Diego's so it looks like she has even more than she really does.

She was so good all day and enjoyed all the attention she got.

Brandt loved playing with the big boys; wrestling, roping, runing, rough housing... and then just hanging out... Actually, I'm pretty sure this is the only time he held still the entire time.
