BFR 2011

We had a great time at the Bloomfield Family Reunion this year. Since our extended family is growing, we decided that going camping was the best way for a big group to be able to spend some time together. We met in the mountains of beautiful Colorado for a fun extended weekend.

Here's Josh, fresh from Cub Scout day camp, ready to have fun.


Emma is excited and waiting for her cousins to arrive.

Relaxing by the fire.

We had a great time seeing almost the whole family (Michelle, Chad, & Carder couldn't make it this year). We got rained on a little bit, but a great time was had by all.

Rachel, the teenager

Rachel had a fabulous time at girls camp (where she got to celebrate her birthday). So, as a family, we didn't get to celebrate her birthday until she got home. Here she is eyeing the beautiful cake that her Dad picked out for her.


All smiles!


Rachel is a budding artist, and only really wanted some art supplies so that she could draw and practice at home.


She is thumbing through the pencil drawing book that I got her.

She also got a couple of sketchbooks to give her lots of room to practice.

She is also without glasses and enjoying her new contacts! She is a beautiful, smart, talented girl and we couldn't be more proud of her.
