This year we went to my brother Robs house in Hobbs, NM. It is about a 5 hour drive and it was so much fun! My brother David and his 6 kids came from Dallas too. We had a packed house but boy was it entertaining! I think it is fair to say that whenever you get a big group together you always fear that something will go wrong or end up in a mess but I can truly say this family get together was just fantastic! We ate way too much food and played and played and played til we were all dead tired! The kids played great together and the adults did too! Here are some pictures from our trip.
We enjoyed 4 wheeling. This is my brother Rob his son Jack and my niece Alyssa
This is Casan my brother Davids littlest boy. He was a mean, green, fighting machine on the jeep.

I was so impressed by these kids. They were all wonderful to my kids! Each and every prayer they prayed for Troy to be safe. It warmed my heart... A LOT! It wasn't even like they were prompted by parents it was like they do it all the time which really meant a lot to me. Hinks even came home saying in his prayers, "Bless Uncle Troy to be safe." Love my family..... And if you were wondering that was a total of 20 of us! Crazy but fun!
