Cornum Family Reunion 2011

We just had our first semi-annual Hal and Mary Cornum Family Reunion!! We went camping up in the mountain near my parents home in southern Colorado. It was a lot of fun to hang out with family for a few days. I don't know if I have any pics of Tysen's family because they were only there for one day, but they were there and it was great to see them.

Sam survived 3 whole nights in a tent which is a record for as long as I have know him. He did get a bit grouchy at the end but for the most part he was a trouper. The first night the wind blew like crazy and no one got much sleep. The second night it was so cold and we were woken up by the mooing of cows. For the third night Sam went to town and bought extra blankets, the cows were gone and the wind wasn't blowing so it wasn't too bad.

The kids had a great time playing in the river, hiking, riding 4 wheelers, chasing cows and just playing and getting dirty with their cousins.

Each family was assigned either a breakfast or a dinner. We made breakfast on Saturday morning. I found this recipe for Omelets in a bag. They were really good but took a little extra time because it was had to keep the water boiling outside in the wind, but still so easy and really good.

The water fall that we hiked to was the same water fall that Sam and I hiked to with my family when we were just dating. We took a picture almost identical to a picture we took there almost 14 years ago. It was fun. I'll try to post the two pics later.

Any way, there it is, the Cornum Family Reunion.

Tomorrow is the half marathon. I didn't want to do three race posts in a row. You would think by reading my blog lately that all I do is run but the fact is I'm totally unprepared for this half marathon. Training has been sporadic at best, so wish me luck and I'll tell you all about it soon.
