Warm River Orton Reunion!

The last day of our trip to Rexburg - We went with the family to Warm River for a campout! The Orton's that were there were Mom and Dad O, and Jeff and Gary; Rob and Suz and their four children: Andrew, Josh, Emily, Tanner; David and Penny and their four children: Ashley, Amber, Brayden, Katie; Us and our children Jane, John, & Paul and Aunt Merrilee and Uncle Richard were there with their family and Grandpa Coltrin too! We had a great time floating the river and eating good food and being together. Michelle was so great to watch my little Paul and Jane and John while Brent and I got dinner ready and while we floated the river. It was such a fun campout! Thank you so much Mom and Dad Orton for all the wonderful things we did together and how you took care of us! We love you so much and are so glad to be your kids! On Monday night we had a "little known" talent show. Some of the favorite little known talents were:
Suzanne: "Magic Tricks" (Lifting blanket and one foot disappears! and Hand Tricks!:)
Andrew: Magic Invisible Ball Juggling
Jane and Emily - Dancing (Tapping and Ballet)
Josh and Ashley: Cat Impressions
Michelle: She can make anyone's nose beep, and the fun fish pop noise only she can make!
Amber: Spider-slayer
Brayden: Singing
Brent and Tanya Orton: Family cheers
Penny: Whistling!
Gary: Ukulele

I can't remember everyones- but it was very fun! Then we had yummy smores and ghost stories by Grandpa Orton (The Chocolate Boy! and the Coffin and the Robbers?).

On Tuesday Grandpa Coltrin had us all lined up for the family races! Everyone ran and was timed! At first I didn't want to do it - but it was a very short course and everyone was having so much fun - and grandpa talked me into it! So Even Paul and I ran! Brent was so fast and Jane and John ran the course at least 5 times each! They loved it! It was fun to see everyone having such a great time! Below is a photo of the races - one is John running and running, and the other was supposed to be a picture of Jane and Emily - but they were running so fast they ran right out of the picture!
