Bear Lake Johnson family reunion


Here's eight cousins (Nextson, Larsen, Elizabeth, Andrea, Falishia, Celest, Elena, Kevin) ready for fun at the Bear Lake Johnson family reunion. This group came a day early to get a head start on the fun.

Come on, the water's fine.

Elizabeth is willing to give it a try.


Even Cayden's ready for fun in the sun.

Digging trenches to catch the water.

Success!

Aidan jumps right in.

The sand castle is next on Larsen's list.

Celest and Elena take a dip to cool off.

So does Kevin.

Eric's ready to take Ethan on the jet ski. Wait for Megan!

Marci wants a turn too, but not without Ashley aboard. Hurry up, she's ready!


After lunch, it's games for the kids. Look out, Aidan may crack that pinata!

Elizabeth gives it a whack.

Ethan too.

Uh oh, did you break the rope, Ethan? Now George has to climb the tree and hold the pinata.


Can Celest knock a hole in that pumpkin face?

No, but Kevin does the job!

Candy for everyone. Grab it quickly!

Relaxing the Aunt Elisa while playing a matching game.

Kevin's wish

"Look Mom," says Kevin, while holding a cousin's new baby at a family gathering.
"This is what I want . . . a baby brother!"

Fruits of the Harvest

Wow, look at all these green beans. Let the sniping party begin!!

How many quarts do you think we'll get?

Grandpa shows the kids how to snip beans. Everyone needs to help.

Elizabeth decides to use her scissors to snip those ends off.


All done, lets tell Great Grandpa Johnson we did 63 quarts of beans.
Can we play with the kittens now?

Ok, but Kevin, go dig some potatoes to take home. Just be careful not to get your
"Sunday, going to Church clothes" dirty.
