Every year for the Fourth of July, my mom's side of the family gets together in this tiny little town in Wyoming where she grew up (Seriously, no stoplights, ONE main street) for the best family reunion EVER!
We always go to the town's mud volleyball tournament and this year we had a family 5K Run which was a blast! The air is so clean there and the scenery is gorgeous! Perfect for running!
Our team
My sister and I at the rancher's rodeo!
They had events like doctoring a calf, loading a trailer, riding on a horse with groceries, milking a wild cow, it was amazing but pretty scary! Those animals were out of control!
My two cute cousins went down there to try and catch a calf! Except they were huge! They did such a good job!
We had the sweetest backyard fireworks show! Wyoming=no illegal fireworks! It was sweet!
There were 36 of us in my grandparents' house. There were people sleeping all over the house, plus 3 hotel rooms, plus 2 tents outside. Landon and I were in a tent, in the rain, with loud fireworks exploding outside, but it was SO fun!
The milk can dinner can feed us all and is SOOO DELICIOUS!
You put potatoes, corn, onions, ham, and/or sausage in a milk can. Top it with cabbage, pour water over it, and heat it up until it's done. It ROCKS.
I don't know this guy, but it was the perfect Americana Kodak moment!
My adorable cousins watching the parade
"A parade so nice you see it twice!" It goes up one side of the street and down the other and still lasts less than 30 minutes!
BUT-there's always A TON of candy! When we were younger, we used to ride the fire truck and throw candy to people. It was sweet.
The outdoor movie idea died cause it was raining, so we brought it to the basement and watched Enchanted. I LOVE that movie! 
The little boys loved Landon. He got attacked all weekend and was totally outnumbered. Bridger would fly through the air to jump on him, while the others would hang on hims arms and legs. When he got the chance, he would grab them under each of his arms, and wrestle until they were ALL exhausted. Good times.
Family Iron Chef Competition-of course Landon's group made a bundt cake!
The winners!
Each team got four ingredients and had to make a masterpiece.
Our team made crepes! YUM!
Amanda jumped out of the car to get the scavenger hunt clues! Too bad the car was still moving! :) She got pretty scraped up!
Our team took second in the scavenger hunt!
Bridger attacked Steve-wedgie and all. The perfect ending to the wedding!
The girls threw a wedding for their stuffed animals!
Natalie caught the bouquet!
The perfect ending to a beautiful wedding: Bridger attacked Steven, complete with wedgie. It was the best of entertainment. Basically, I LOVE our reunions. We have so much fun, and we do it in the most beautiful town in the world. Landon is obsessed with the town, too. I think he might love it even more than I do...no, not possible. We love it equally. :)
