My kids loved Chad, especially when he gave them yummy root beer!

Jack warming up on his tube 
Uncle Bud was kind enough to give Reid a few pointers on how to catch the big one
He even let Reid wear his fishing vest
One day, not too far in the future, Reid will fill that vest!

The snake Reid caught
Luke did not think it was very cool, hence the leaning back
Letting the snake go
Jack always seems to have the dirtiest mug!!
Uncle Rodney
Uncle Rodney's fire!
Uncle Bud with the 100 year old chainsaw (not really sure how old it is but it's OLD). Still cuts the wood for the huge wood stack we have every year. You'd think we were staying for a month!
2nd dirtiest mug!
Grandpa Neilson aka Big Vern
All want to touch the slimy fish, but not Luke!

We had our annual Neilson reunion this year at Mackay. There weren't many of us this year, in fact, I was the only one from the Ron Neilson family even there! Grandpa and Bud were there, of course, and Chad came for a few days. Uncle Rodney had the most family there, Melissa, Matt and their girls were there from Virginia. Avery and Helen came and I have to say Jack is in love with Helen!! He loved her, of course it was a close tie between Helen and Chad for Jack, he loved them both! Taylor brought his new wife Lyndee and Erika represented Thad and came up for one day with their girls. Justin and I showed up on Friday afternoon and gave Melissa and Aunt JaNan a thrill when they thought we were crowding into their camp space with a car full of crazy kids. They didn't realize it was us when we pulled in and Melissa didn't have very nice things to say when she thought a car full of hillbillies was pulling in right next door to them. Luckily when she found out it was us she decided to share her campsite. We had a wonderful time, we floated the river once and the kids played everyday in that freezing water! It is always so wonderful to spend time with my family, I love them all so much! Next year will be the really big Neilson reunion, I am planning it and hopefully we will have way more Neilsons there than we did this year!
