The Bradley Family Blog: Billions of Bradleys

For those of you who don't know Christian comes from a big family. I mean a big family. His dad is the oldest of 14, Christian has, 79ish cousins, and we are nearing the 200th great grand child. It is a bigger family then I had ever encountered and after four years I am still learning names and who belongs to who. One of the best things about belonging to a family this big is that when we get together it is always a party! The Bradley Clan does one big family reunion each year and this year was a true adventure, we went to the Heber Valley Girls Camp and spent a weekend playing as a family and having way to much fun.

We started our weekend with some paddle boating on the lake. The girls were champions at the paddle boating, Christian and I not so much. Still we had a great time and there were quite a few laughs.

There was also a lot of good food, something to be expected at a Bradley reunion.

While we were eating dinner the first night I noticed that James' tooth was hanging by a thread. He let Christian pull it out and then showed off that happy toothless smile. Still not sure how this boy is eating with so many lost teeth.

After spending the night in some cabins we got up the next morning to do some challenge course. We all picked to do the giant swing and everyone was super excited.

Here is how it works, you hoped in a harness and

this handsome group of men would pull you up 75 feet in the air

Now if you were under eight you can go to 3/4 height

Then you let go of the red tie and you ....

SWING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matty was very upset that he was too little to do the swing but the sandbox soon calmed that tantrum.

That afternoon the kids had some more lake time and worked on one of the many arts and crafts project that were available.

Then we went down to Heber Park. Heber decided to have a parade at the same time so it was a double bonus. The kids also liked the awesome new playground.
