Reunion Weekend 2: Steiner Stampede

Jackie and I took this past weekend off to head down to Vernon, Arizona and spend time at a family reunion for her mother's side. We had a blast to say the least. The drive was long (even longer for her family that came from Portland!) but it was definitely worth it. Thanks to Grandma Steiner for organizing it, thanks to Doug and Patty Steiner for letting us crash at their cabin, and thanks to Patty, Jonnie, and all of those that put a lot of work and effort into all of the meals. Some family members were not able to make it, including April Steiner Bennett. Something about Beijing and pole vaulting. Be sure to check for her this Saturday on NBC. You can see her bio here

Highway 6 was closed so we had to take a beautiful roundabout way to get to Price.
We had crazy thunderstorms the entire ride down there

The little baby toad that her brothers caught

They don't mess around in Arizona


Jackie has this way of getting whatever she wants from Reg

Bad spot. It seemed I was the only one not to catch one.

Becca joined me under my poncho during lunch to help stay dry

Jeri came strutting out only to realize that she had hooked a branch about 100 feet back

(tackle) Ultimate frisbee was the big hit at Doug Steiner's Arena

Late night "Zilch" tournament. Jackie let me win the first round, I then slaughtered DJ in the second round and then got schooled by Grandpa in the third round. I was two wins away from the ultimate Zilch glory. Congratulations to Reg on the victory.

Jackie likes her new mummy sleeping bag

Nice cut babe, have you been practicing?


"Where's Reg?"...."Down at the pond talking to his girl!"

Yee hah! Look at that family


Jonathan pulled the funny face picture early

I don't think we took a family picture without taking a "funny face" picture. Good one Grandpa



3-legged race. Even with matching shirts we still lost


I need to practice to my funny face picture taking...as well as my on beat hand clapping

We swung by this place on our way home. Pictures don't do it justice
