Mitchell Family Reunion - June 7, 2008

On June 7, my dad's family had a reunion. My dad is one of five brothers so it is a pretty big family when you add all the kids and grandkids in there. We had a wonderful time and hope to do it again and again and again. Unfortunately, my uncle Mark and cousins Jennifer, Courtney and Mason couldn't make it this time.

The "Blood" Mitchells

(I also had pictures of the WHOLE family, but they didn't turn out. Big Bummer!)

We were originally all supposed to camp (in a tent or a cabin) at Mt. Nebo in Arkansas. However, due to the rising gas prices, we reunioned at my cousin Jay's house in Mississippi. He has a HUGE backyard and a BEAUTIFUL pool. It was perfect!

My uncle Bob and his girlfriend

My uncle Mike and Randall

My cousin Shannon, Aunt Linda, Alex (my cousin once removed?)

and Griffin (my other cousin once removed?)

Aunt Linda and her precious grandson, Griffin

My cousin, Greg, and my Daddy having a deep conversation.

Tyler, working on his tan. He also managed to take the SAT earlier that morning in Memphis.

Adam and his Daddy

Me and my twins

My dad ("Tack") and David

David jumping to his Tack... and liking it.

Adam jumping to Randall... This is just the beginning. Stay tuned!

Adam (I think) and Tyler

Greg wearing a twin hat...

Tyler threw Adam up in the air and he LOVED it. Every time he came back down,

he would sign "more" and say "Mo!". So cute!

Our little adrenaline junkie... also known as Adam. He really enjoyed jumping off the diving board and going under water. And then, he couldn't get out of the water fast enough to go and do it again. Keep in mind the water was slightly over his head, like about by 8 feet.

The twins playing with their soon-to-be cousin, CJ. The "thing to do" according to the one-year-olds, was to yell and run at the same time.

My Uncle Jerry and his grandson, Griffin. On the surface, this appears to be a very sweet picture. Take a closer look at Mr. Griffin's nose and Jerry's shirt...

Volleyball!

My cousin Jay's son, Alex.



The campfire I always wanted. You see, I had visions of all the Mitchells around the campfire eating s'mores. Even though we didn't go camping, my Uncle Jerry still helped to make my campfire dream come true!



The End.

(Until next year!)
