Have I mentioned ever how lucky I am to live near so much family? I'd like to spout about how we have the BEST family, too, and really, who could I offend? I'm somehow related to just about everyone (yep, even Jared...7th or 8th--don't worry, so far our kids are okay) so I am really complimenting any who read this. And if I'm not, I hope you can too appreciate the family you have, because I sure love mine. I got to spend Veteran's Day with my family. Dave and Bec thought it would be fun to go have a picnic and climb around a mini-Valley of Fire called Redstone. What a blast! The kids had so much fun and because of my super sister, Kristin, I did too. Jared had to work and Kristin had the day off(gotta love those federal holidays) so she braved the kiddos with me. And even climbed around a bit:
I was a little slower due to 25 extra pounds on my back:
Fortunately, Uncle James and Uncle Dan were available to save the kids from any sticky situations:
Even our "tailgate party" was a blast!
Seriously, our little trip was just what I needed. So thanks, Dave and Bec, for the great idea! We can always count on you to help us make memories...

That looks like so much fun! We need to start being more creative w/our family outings:) Very cute pictures of you and your kiddos:)
I love your family too...even if I'm not related ;)
looks like you had a blast!!
So fun! I also love your family and I don't THINK I'm related. LOL Never know! :)
You do have a wonderful family. I am in awe of all the activities the Gibson clan has. I think it is great for the children to be with their cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents so often participating in fun events. I'm sure they have no idea how fortunate they are. I also really enjoy seeing the pictures you post of the activities. Keep it up.
We loved hangin out with the Gibson clan on Tuesday. I agree that your family is awesome and I love that i'm related (by marriage). haha. I love seeing Kristin too, she's the coolest. I loved the pics you posted and it just makes me want to go back. :)
I loved your halloween pics too. You're kids look adorable.
Looks fun! I've only been there once but loved it!!! You do have a great fam.
Dang that looks like a blast. Is that AT valley of fire then? We need to do something like that before it gets cold. Your family is so fun. It's great that they are all close and you guys can do that stuff. (Im jealous!)
Kristen ROCKS! I love her.
thanks callie...we had a blast and were so happy we could all be there together. i am looking forward to our next gathering!
