Taylor Family Reunion

This Past week (June 11- 16), was our Family Reunion. On Sunday, I went and stayed over at Grandma and Grandpa Eppley's house so I could go early. Brescia also came early and stayed at their house.
On Monday we woke up at 7am and got ready to go to Mt. Pleasant. We got the trailer loaded up and everything packed. We were on our way to Mt. Pleasant.
When we got there, we went to Terrell's Market to get a few groceries. After that, Grams and Gramps took us to Subway. How nice of them.
When we got to the campground, we decided where we were going to stay. We got the trailer all ready to be in and then we went outside and set up a canopy so that we could eat under it. The reunion really started on Wednesday. Our family was in charge this year so we had to do everything. 
That night, we had potatoes and gravy for dinner. We watched a movie, uncle Adrain and Aunt Deanna came from Washington State that night and were staying in a hotel. 
On Tuesday, we did more of the same, set things up and planned. Aunt Carol and Uncle Myron came with Judy and her boy, Cameron came. That was really fun. 
That night, around 8:00pm or so, my mom, all of the kids and Koda came. (My dad was in San Diego on a business trip) We put up our camper and we got settled. 
On Wednesday, everyone came. We did crafts, had lunch together and so many more fun things. 
Thursday, we provided breakfast for everyone. We did more crafts, made duct tape wallets and had fun. 
Friday was really that last whole day together. Around 10am, we went horseback riding at this horse ranch. It was so much fun. When we were done riding the horses, I got to hose them off with water and then we went to the camp ground.(Our dad got to the campground on Thursday night really late)
When we were done there, we had lunch and then we had the kids auction. I got earrings, a mini clipboard, and some flashcards for my school. 
Later that night, we had the Potluck dinner. We had pulled pork sandwiches and everyone brought a salad or dessert. 
At 7pm, the Adult Auction took place. I got a cute watch and Jaxon got a cute stool. 
Saturday morning, we started picking up camp and putting our campers down and getting them ready to go. At 10am, we had the coin and candy scramble. It was really fun for the kids and Adults. We went home after that. We had so much fun at the family reunion. Thanking everyone for all the help they gave us.
