Brolray Reunion

We just got back from the triennial Brolray reunion (a nickname formed from the last names Brassfield, Boltz and Ray, the cousins who started it). This year we went to Estes Park, Colorado, and had so much fun spending time with my dad's side of the family (pretty much all of them!) Clark had never met most of these people, but I think he actually had a lot of fun. And everyone simply adored our little Clarkie boy, so much that he hardly slept the entire time.

At Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. Clark was doing a little extreme stroller driving.

On our way up to the top.
We stopped at a waterfall, and Clarkie got to break in his new Kelty backpack.
I think he likes it!

My brother Chris, Dad and Clark made it all the way to the top at 12,005 feet. Meanwhile, my mom, Clarkie and I were enjoying a Diet Coke about 500 feet lower at the snack bar. Good job guys!

Clarkie ready to make a grab for cousin Matt's iphone. He's already got expensive taste.

Hanging out with Grandad at the condo.

All 58 of us (I think, I haven't actually counted). These people are all of the descendents of my dad's mom, and her brother and sister.

Clarkie did his balancing act for the talent show; he was a big hit.

He loved all the attention from everyone, giggling like crazy. Clark was glad he pulled it off in front of such a big (an important) audience. And I was the proud momma! Thanks Brolrays for such a wonderful time.
