Bontrager Family Reunion

All the great-grandchildren (4th generation) at the reunion.

My cousin Jon was wearing this grass skirt for some reason and then it was decided it would look better on Hannah.

Great Aunt Mollie trying to help Hannah model for the cameras while Great Uncle Tom and Phil looked on in the background.

Hannah made lots of new friends with her 2nd cousins. This is Ginny's daughter Mikayla holding Hannah.

At the beginning of July, we packed up and headed to Roach, MO to the Windermere Baptist Conference Center for the Bontrager Family Reunion. It was crazy hot and we stayed inside as much as possible. After church on Sunday, we stood outside to take a bunch of family pictures. It was great to catch up with everyone. I hadn't seen some of my cousins and aunts and uncles since we got married.

It was so hot it was hard to enjoy the camp, but Keith took the boys for a paddle boat ride on Sunday afternoon and then they spent some time in the pool. I stayed in our room in the a/c while Hannah slept and enjoyed some nice quiet time! We also walked through a cave on the camp property. It was so cool in there. Both figuratively and literally! The average temp in the cave stayed in the low 70s even when it was over 100 outside. The boys loved the cave so much we went through it again as we were leaving the camp. Sadly, I did not take any pictures of the cool cave.
