Bowen family reunion

The first weekend in August, we headed to Union, OR for Jon's family reunion!   We had a great time!   There are a lot of people in the Bowen family, but we all squished together and it was fabulous!    

The kids had a great time playing with cousins, we had beautiful weather and just enjoyed being together!

A couple of times, Hannah fell asleep from being so tired.
 

A swimming night at Uncle Jerry's pool!  Emily was so sweet to hold onto Hailey for the entire time Hailey wanted to be in the water.
 




Jack was all about throwing the football around.
 

Kyle has grown up so much and was a good little swimmer
 

This is Lindsey (in the red) being flipped over by her older cousins.

Saturday morning was the Catherine Creek Classic.   Emily, Lindsey & Kate did the 1 mile run and Jack & Jon did the 5K.   I stayed at the finish line with Hannah & Hailey to take pictures.
 

Hannah was sad to not be going on the bus.
 


Emily - got 3rd place overall in the mile run.
 

Lindsey
 

This is Kate & Kyle on the sidewalk.  I got teary-eyed when I saw all of my kids as they crossed the finish line, but these 2 especially were so sweet.
 



They are best little buddies!
 


Jack did great in the 5K!  He wasn't even sweating when he crossed the finish line.
My brother-in-law, Bob, was manning one of the water stations and apparently Jack thought that you stopped at the table and took a drink.   So cute!








Once again, Hannah too tired to stay awake!
 

Thank you to all the Bowen's for a great vacation!
