Bagley Reunion


I love being up at the farm! Look at that sky...it's like that almost every night. So Friday night we had a few of the family show up to camp out with us. Here's the Nethercott girls and then some playing the viking game and they were also doing a ninja one too. It was SO entertaining to watch them!


My best friend Brooke just hanging out with the kids. Uncle Mark helping out with the big jump rope that the teens/kids loved.


We rented 3 porta-potties because we knew that we'd have a lot of people there on Saturday, and 2 campers with bathrooms were not going to be enough. Two of the potties were like the bright orange one and they were up on a trailer. If you look closely, it has a man symbol on it. We had one grey one that was on the ground so that it was easier for the kids to get to. We noticed that some of the boys would stand and wait to use the orange ones....and we didn't understand why until we went over to investigate....and found the man/woman symbols on them. Some of the younger boys absolutely refused to use the "girls" bathroom! So funny!

Here's Gary making our sign for the farm. It tuned out so nice. I love it. The single plow that it's on is one he found up there and pulled out of the ground. It's so cool to have all these pieces of history.




Cooking food for the family. Getting ready for lunch.


Gary getting everyone's attention so we can say the blessing on the food. We ended up with over 100 people there for lunch. It was nice to get to see so many of the family again.



After lunch came the Bagley Water Fight. It happens at every family reunion! Gary pumped out 55 gallons of water out of that blue barrell....the kids really loved going back to him to get more water.





Gary getting his little sister Gloria. Gary's mom and the kids were having a ball.

The ground around the water barrell became pretty muddy and quite a few of the family ended up mud wrestling! It was great....but after the fun, we marched or 4-wheelered most of them down to the creek so they could wash off.






Hanging out and enjoy one another's company.

You had to be wearing a red shirt to get to lay down and take a nap on this blanket!




Winding down at the end of the day. Had to get another round of jump rope in. After pretty much everyone left, the kids watched a movie in our camper and Emma was so tired that she sat on the floor by my bed, sorta wrapped around her sisters helmet and fell asleep. She stayed there for about an hour till we moved her to her bed. Sweet girl!
