The Thompson Reunion

This was our first Annual Thompson Family Reunion.
It was so Fun being all together! We spent our time in Idaho in Heather and Brigham's new beautiful home. (Thank You!) We spent a day in Yellowstone. We saw Old faith -full some elk and ate a yummy picnic. These are our Cool T-shirts that Micah designed for us. Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts.

J and Mark
Kaleb, Lindsey and little Thompson
Micah
Staven, Ashlee and Gabe
The Redd's
The Thompson Troop
"The Gang"

The family. We are a strange band of characters trudging through life sharing toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding candy, borrowing money, locking each other out of rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, Loving, Laughing, Defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.

Looks like some good times! Love the family shirts! Nothing better than some fun family quality time all together. Looks like the Thompson family just keeps growing. Will you be adding to it anytime soon? See if they can plan another one soon so we can get you back!

Oh it looks like you guys had a grand time. I love the one with the nuts. What a nice looking and large family!
We are up to the challenge and would love to have a good time with the troop. Make sure you guys are ok with us only part time and let us know. Either way we are thrilled you thought of us.

........ not that hanging with the troop would be a challenge. It would be great!

I love all the t-shirts. How cute is that! I might have to steal that idea sometime. You guys always know how to have so much fun. I just love that about you!

You are all so adorable! I need to steal the shirt idea. I love the part at the end about inflicting pain upon eachother and then kissing it better. My family has a saying "Pinch, poke, punch! means... I love you." However, Steve's side of the family DOES NOT find it funny AT ALL. So my girls get in trouble sometime. but their other cousins are getting tougher! Anyway YOU are all adorable and I wish I could have seen you when you were here!

Looks like a blast. We used to have such a good time doing family reunion stuff with my dad's family. Now its like pulling teeth to get us to go anywhere together. So glad someone can do it! Kudos to your troops for going!

I'm glad you had fun on your trip, it looks like family fun summer camp!!

And I don't know what in the world we were thinking in signing Joe up for fb this season. They are serious out there, I don't know if I can hang in with all these practices!! Yikes!

Nick starts soccer after labor day, I guess we'll be busy all week long. I'm sure you feel the same!!

Are you going to movie night tonight, do you want to ride together??
