melanson family reunion

the week of july 4th, i (jeanette) was in oregon at the melanson family reunion. it was a lot of fun seeing all the family, spending time with parents, siblings, and lots of nieces and nephews. todd was stuck in omaha, working. so, we spent our first anniversary apart... sad. :(

jessica, quinton, and connor enjoying ice cream.
the view outside our cabins was amazing.

it was nice being able to be in the outdoors without frying. we spent the first half of the week at a beautiful campsite. we were in cabins. i think i have discovered a new way of camping! :) that is thomas, posing for the camera.

dad melanson with quin. he spent a lot of time holding and reading with the grandchildren.
t.j. with some of the cousins (annalise, milo and luke)

some of the boy cousins gathered in bob's family cabin to watch national treasurer in preparation of watching the sequel later at bob's house in his awesome new game/media room.

the later part of the week we returned to town and had family olympics (tug-o-war between the kids and dads above), movie night, boy cousin sleepover, fourth of july barbeque and family fireworks. it was a great week!!!
