Every year, Matt's dad and his nine siblings, along with all of their kids and their kids, hold a reunion down in Arizona. For the past two years that we've attended, it's been in Eagar, a tiny town in Round Valley that I am really starting to love.
When most people think of Arizona (and this was totally me before I started dating Matt), they think of the scorching sun, cacti forests, sweltering heat, swimming pools, you see the picture. I had no intention of ever liking the state because the one thing that makes me cranky faster than anything in the world is being hot.
BUT, luckily for me, Matt is from northeastern Arizona, Snowflake (I know, right?) to be exact. And this area of Arizona is actually quite beautiful. There are actual trees, cool nights, even snow during the winters, and don't even get me started on the gorgeous sunsets.
Anyway, I was really looking forward to this year's reunion, and it did not disappoint!
Most of the festivities were held out on Ellis's property, like playing corn hole, shooting, the zip line (which has now been cut down after being the culprit to two broken arms), etc. Many people camped here, but I snagged us a room at the house my in-laws own in Eagar. I wasn't too keen on camping with Adam haha.
We ate delicious food-- biscuits and gravy was my personal favorite :)
And check out those legs...
Getting in some good Grandpa time. Actually, Adam was quite the celebrity. I felt like I had 20 babysitters because everyone wanted a turn with him. He loved it.
Monsoon season + an awesome truck = intense mudding.
And it's not a vacation without a nap, right? And naps with babies are the best.
Adam was such a champ on the 9-turned 12+ hour drive down and back. He would eat, play, sleep, and then start all over again for the entire ride!
And we got to stop and see my grandparents on the way down, which is always a treat.
I am so grateful for the families that I am apart of, and that we live close enough to see them fairly often!
Thank you Bloomfields and Arizona for a great reunion!
