1st annual Jay Jenkins family reunion


I was kinda on a family reunion kick this year, and I decided it was time for me and my siblings to start a reunion. This year we went up to Lava Hot Springs. We camped at the KOA, went to the pool, rafted down the river, played games, and spent time visiting with each other. Even though most of us see each other all the time, it was fun to be on a little trip together. All the kids had a great time and played and explored.
When we got to camp, my Mom gave each of the kids a 'camping backpack' that she made. It had a few activities and treats in it. Every so often when the kids ran out of something to do, she brought out another surprise to put in their bags. My kids are still carrying around their bags.


Hailey really loved playing in the dirt. She was SO dirty by the end of the trip

All the excitement was just too much for Brent to handle.

So fun, what a go getter you are. I always think something like that sounds fun and never take the initiative to plan it.
