GIBSON- DOXEY FAMILY REUNION











Having the family all in Colorado was so fun!We were so happy to have most everyone there (we missed you Doug and Amber and girls, Emily and Chad, Dan and Julie and kids)  But- we are all very excited to have a new little cousin-Caroline!  Thanks everyone for coming and especially for  being so patient with my emails!  We had such a great time up there.  It was so awesome to be able to stay in one huge Cabin together--and actually have room to breathe!  The kids (and adults) had a great time swimming, playing tennis, biking, roller skating, playing soccer, riding the bmx trails, and hiking through the mountains!  We even found an old 1920's cabin--so fun.  The adults had a stellar time playing games until all hours of the night-our favorite still speed scrabble!  The kids also loved doing crafts, and making hemp bracelets and the girls gave each other pedicures while the boys were golfing.  They did such a good job pampering with ice water and chocolate bon bons (left over from the wedding!)  We also found time to Mountain Bike in some of the best trails ever--and came upon fields of Columbines--so incredibly beautiful!  It was a bummer it was over so quickly.  However, we were so thankful that another 32 got to come up to Fort Collins and stay another couple of days.  We had fun boating, going on runs, and chillin' once again--we love being together!

I guess the only thing that could be better than being there at the reunion is having a baby. So, if that's the consolation prize we'll take it. It looks like a total blast. We would have loved being there. We missed you all so much as well. Thanks Em & Chad for your awesome wedding...that softens the blow of not being there in a HUGE WAY. We probably wouldn't have seen everyone until we come out after Christmas. A Bay Area reunion isn't totally out of the question you know...it may be wall to wall tents in our backyard--certainly not as palatial as where you stayed in CO, but who comes to the Bay Area to be under a roof anyway? Thanks for the awesome post--very much appreciated!!!

Love your new look on your blog, very stylish! Looks like you had TONS of fun at your reunion, which of course means TONS of work, but it's all worth it to be with the ones you love. I got to see Chrys, Cheryl, and Becky a few weeks ago. We talked about maybe doing a girls weekend sometime. It would be fun to just hang out again. By the way, you look great!
