Bingham Family Reunion


YEE HAW!! Let the fun times roll.
A little back blog to catch up on...
While in Oregon this summer for the Bingham Family Reunion, the weather turned a little wet and cool. Jacob and Wendy arranged to use this arena to have our "rodeo" in. It was a lot of fun and very much needed for the children to run and play.

One of the games was a stick horse race. Here are lots of great grandchildren having a go at it.
I would give names, but I am not sure the spelling...


Here is Ryan ready to start.


Ryan has decided this is not for him!



We might have a little to learn about being a graceful "non-winner."







The grandparents had their chance for glory as well......

Dad, Bonnie, Cindy, and Lynn off to a fast start.



Bonnie and Cindy looking good on the corner.



A couple of people are going the wrong way here.



Rest time.



Giving Justin a big "YAY HO"

Justin and Emily had been planning on coming from Germany but after three days in the "airport" with no luck getting a flight, they decided to throw in the towel. Justin had called Dad's cell phone to tell him they would not be coming and so Jason had us give him a YAY Ho.


Who is more relaxed? Landon or the horse?


One of the games Wendy had was the cowhide race. Here is Hillary, Tara and Nic (the horses) in full speed. Nic - I love your form - is that kind of a cross between power running and power walking?



Whatever it is, it must work!


Now there is perfect form!


Just like a real rodeo, the bullride is saved for the end.

We had a great time and really enjoyed visiting with family. I look forward to the next time the Blaine and Lois Bingham family get together.

this post makes me a little sad we couldn't be there, it looks like a lot of fun. I would like a go at my horse stick racing :) and this one is for Tara. I know you are doing good at eating healthy (I need to do better). However, one of my roommates from college put a blog up about healthy eating, its really fun www.bepracticaltoday.blogspot.com
