Bilyeu Marshall Family Reunion

We went to Hull Valley, right outside of Whitney Idaho.  It was my Grandmas families cabin.  We had gone there growing up for years for the Hull Reunion.  It was a treat to get everyone up there almost all at once. 




The water was beautiful, although after loosing one flip flop down the river the amazing Aunt Natalie wasn't about to let it happen to Sydneys shoe so she managed to catch hers  down stream after running like she has never run before. Thank you Aunt Natalie!!!




The biggest hit for the kids was the giant water slide we set up.  They spend a couple days hours at a time going up and down the slide.  We learned if we added a little dish soap to it we really got going fast! We managed to get almost everyone on the slide even Grandpa and Grandma!


 Look at that grace!


And then there was an ocational one of these. . . going too fast and ended up off the slide! Kate wasn't too happy about this one!




 We thought we'd try to leave the cabin a little nicer than we found it so helped start the stairs for the upcoming reunion a couple weeks down the road.  It was harder than we thought, with lots of hands we got them started and the cousins coming after us finished them up. 

It was such a treat to have these guys come from Seattle and enjoy the week! 
 Everyone loved taking the four-wheelers out!!!  At most any time if we couldn't find Sydney she'd be sitting on a four-wheeler waiting for someone to take her on a ride.  She's a speed junky!!

When trying to think of some ideas of things to do Pam and I thought tie-die shirts would be fun.  We never realized how much everyone would get into them. They were awesome, they were all so different, it was really fun. Kate didn't want to take hers off for weeks!




 Syringes come in so handy for so many different things!!! Good thing we have so many!
 Aren't those fun!
 All the Grandkids

 Playing a game were there is candy wrapped in the packing plastic.  It's a big ball and if you roll doubles on dice you get to unwrap and try to get the candy.  There were tons of candy in it different layers.  Just have to hurry before someone rolls doubles and takes it away from you!
 It got a little intense, don't mess with Grandmas big candy ball!!!
 Kate had a hard time when people would take it from her when they rolled doubles, but once she got a candy she was a happy girl!
