Collins Reunion 2014

 
This year's Collins Reunion was at Harding's Hideaway. We came here four years ago and had so much fun we wanted to come again. They don't usually allow people to spend the night, but Susan is good friends with the owners, and they gave us permission to stay over night. Some people brought campers and some families tented. There is a pond with a water slide and Ryan is climbing to the top!
 
 
 
 
When you come off the water, the boogie boards skim across the water for quite a long way. It is great fun!
 
 
The rope swings are really popular too. This is the smaller swing.
 
 
Troy was one of the first to go on the big swing. He is always a kid a heart.
 
 
Aleice wanted to try the big swing. It took her a long time to get brave enough to go. It is really tall!
 
 
Harper and Syrett love the water and played in this little pool that was just their size.
 
 
Kamren loved to boogie board!
 
 
Brittta loves to play with the little kids.
 
 
Kolby is enjoying the water.
 

 
Glenda and Tara pedal away with their cute passengers.
 
 
There is always lots of yummy food!
 
 
Harper makes the funniest faces, and she loves Uncle Shane.
 
 
More boogie board fun.
 
 
I don't think Clay will go very far with Wayden and Syrett in charge of the oars.

 
Tara is the first one to swing out and jump.

 
One, two, three...
 
 
Jump!
 
 
Ready, set...
 
 
Splash!!
 
 
That was fun!
 
 
Keldon and the boys are off for a ride.
 
 
Justin and Ashlie were happy that Grandma was able to come for a few hours.
 
 
Me and my wonderful Mom!
 
 
Megan, Whitney, and Lauren head for the water slide.
 
 
Susan's family hanging out on the swing, laughing and talking.

 
Gordon and Lauren cooked up breakfast--pancakes and sausage. Yum!
 
 
Lining up for food! It's gonna be good!
 
 
Mother and daughter swinging!
 
 
Gordon took a tumble his first time down the slide and lost his watch to the pond.
 
 
Troy went to Hawaii this summer with Judi's family and he wanted to use his snorkeling gear. Not much to see in this water.
 
 
Tara and Brooklyn floating around.
 
 
The sand was just right for making castles.
 
 
Fun in the Sun! And water!
 
 
The girls head out for a canoe ride.
 
 
Time for s'mores!
 
 
It takes patience not to burn the marshmallows.
 
 
Brooklyn's turned out perfect!
 
 
Denya learned to roast Starbursts at BYU. She gave us a demonstration and a taste. They are so soft and chewy.
