Stephenson Family Reunion 2010

Our annual Stephenson Family Reunion was held in Twin Falls, ID at Dierkes Lake this year and included the whole Stephenson clan. 

The 10 hour drive took us 13 hours, because Rustin & I had to pull over to take a nap! (we were driving at night to help the Blakester...but it seems we were the ones who needed help!!) At one point during our drive, Rustin was snoozing while I was trying to keep my eyes open and drive, and he woke up shouting and grabbing for the steering wheel. He said he was dreaming I'd fallen asleep and we were heading off the road! It was kinda scary...we kept saying, it was good thing he didn't actually grab the steering wheel!! 

 Once the safety of morning hit we were almost to Twin!

Couple pit stops along the way...poor kid was so sick of being in that seat!

Here is Grandma Stephenson...the reason for this HUGE gathering! 

All of her 6 kids were able to make it! It was a lot of fun to see everyone...to meet, & re-meet cousins!

After the reunion, we said our goodbyes and headed back home to California. However this time we drove during the day...and Blake was a champ! He's turning into quite the traveler! He must have been worn out from the weekend!
