Baumgartner 2011

One of the things we look forward to most every summer the Roberts' family reunion at Baumgartner Campground near Boise, Id.  It holds so many happy memories for us.  This year was no exception.  The cousins played all day, every day, the guys went on motorcycle/bicycle rides, the girls talked and visited.  On Sunday we held our traditional "church in the pines" and Caysja bore her testimony all by herself for the first time!  She did such a great job and I was so proud of her.  This was Capri's first time at Baumgartner and she did pretty well  aside from not taking naps since it was so hot in our tent.  The Boise River was really, really high and very cold so hardly anyone but the guys got in it.  The hot springs was just perfect as always though.  This year was a little different since Caleb's parents are still on their mission as are his Aunt and Uncle so none of his cousins came.  It was just Caleb's four brothers and their families.  There were still 10 adults and 20 kids!

How fun. I always love reading your post on the Baumgartner reunion. I'm glad you got to go this year. I'm also so jealous looking at all of the pictures. It looks like so much fun. The kids are getting so big. Especially little Capri. We miss you guys.
