we're goin' to pinto!

dave grew up going to 
PINTO
 for his family reunion--every summer.  
i'm not going to lie, he had to pretty much beg us to get on board to attend his 
family reunion this last summer.  
he really wanted to share this part of his life with our kids, so out of pure love for him, we went.
it actually ended up being a highlight of our summer!
pinto is a beautiful place. 
i liked hearing stories about his ancestors and talking with some of his extended family.
the kids really enjoyed exploring, playing games, meeting new cousins (especially max-everytime i looked for him, if would find him sitting at a table with new people, playing card games.)



vivian and jade's first balloon toss.  highly entertaining:)



real men shoot pink guns, i guess.

we went on a beautiful hike.
fun exploring, and we only lost two people, which kind of freaked me out, but it all ended well:)

back at camp, mimi kept the girls busy with art projects and headbands.

MAX LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT PINTO!!





highlights not shown:  
the river and crawdad hunting.  abe only got in stinging nettle once...but it was totally worth it.

thanks dave, for sticking with us, and encouraging us to go to pinto.  let's do it again!
