Anderson Clan 2012

This last weekend we were in Portland for another family reunion on Jeremy's dad's side.  Every 2 years we meet up at the same place... Blue Lake Park in Portland.  Love it :).  Wait a second... we're missing someone in the picture??
Ohh!  Carson, you silly boy ;).
Ray and Carina brought a lot of water activities that kept the kiddos busy all day.  It was awesome :).  Sponges and water buckets... what a clever idea!
That was a hit for little Jaxon too :)
Slip n' slide
And some sneaky water gun snipers!  You never knew when you were going to get hit!
And there was a splash pad near by for a little more variety
Chelsea came up with us to meet this side of the family for the first time.  You can tell there is Anderson in her :).  Such beautiful women!
We all did a lot of visiting with everyone.  Sad we only get to see each other every 2 years.  But that's better than nothing!  Chris and Aunt Soozie were hanging for a bit.
The Anderson's are such a crazy fun bunch ;)
They always do an egg toss contest.  Adults first and then kids.
Alex and Carson we the last ones standing with an unbroken egg :)
I unfortunately didn't get a pic of everyone.  But this is Jer's cousin Trish and her clan. (hubby was working)
Another one of Jer's cousins, Chris and her 2 cute kiddos, Micah and Lucas
Jer's Aunt Nancy with her some of her boys (Austin, Tyler, Nic... Uncle Stan, and grandchild)
We were there for several hours visiting, eating good food, and games.  It's always good to see everyone again!
The next day we went to the Oregon Zoo... the bears were our favorite this time :)
What a weekend!  And loved having Chelsea come with us on this trip :).  Now summer is coming to a close and I have to go school supply shopping.  Man time flies!
