2009 Buck Family Reunion

Every other year Mick's extended family, the Bucks, has a family reunion. It includes Mick's Grandpa and all of his siblings and their descendents. Needless to say, a lot of people show up for a lot of fun! This last July (2009) we went to the May Family Ranch again in Clayton, Idaho (near the Salmon River). Here are some highlights:
They have a giant homemade waterslide. Which was hours and hours of fun for the kids. Kyle playing at the top of the waterslide waiting for his turn.
He got his turn...thumbs up.
There was a bump at the top of the waterslide. Bennett caught some good air.
Here's a picture of Jake hitting it just right - with "no hands."
I never could get a picture of Davis looking at the camera...oh well. He was one of the fastest kids going down.
I caught Bennett trying to climb over the side to cut in line. Look at that smile.
When we were playing some evening games, I noticed a deer on the top of the mountain. The ranch is in such a beautiful location, surrounded by mountains and wildlife.
Mick, Davis, cousin Dayne, and Kyle playing some frisbee golf.
Kyle up to bat playing "Danish Ball." A game (famous) cousin Jason Buck taught everyone. It was a FUN game!!
Bennett passing the ball to cousin Carly.
Some of the older folk playing some game in a giant "rubberband." It looks like a cozy fun game.

Cousins playing "karate tag."

The kids are already looking foward to the next Buck Family Reunion in 2011!

Wow, that water slide looks awesome! Did adults get to go down it too? That rubberband looks like some weird torture device or weight loss gizmo. Fun times.
