Brooks Family Reunion

Last weekend we met the Brooks side of the family in Red River, NM to celebrate Gran and Grandad's 60th wedding anniversary.  It was great to finally get to meet more of Larry's side of the family and for Gran and Grandad to finally meet Emerson.  The last time Tanner and Keaton saw her she couldn't even sit up so it was so much fun watching them get to run and play together.  It was absolutely beautiful there and much cooler than Houston!  We stayed at the Auslander resort which was very nice.  Larry, Bonnie, Tanner, Keaton, and Emerson shared a condo and Jeremy, Kristi, Shawn, me, and Mikala shared another.  We took family pictures Saturday evening and then had a nice dinner to celebrate.

Uncle Jeremy and Em dipping her toes in the very cold water!

Em kept Uncle Jeremy and Daddy busy at the playground trying to keep the little daredevil from falling off!

She decided that she was brave enough to go down the winding, enclosed slide by herself!

We never knew which way she was coming out...she even came out head first once!

Shawn playing a little football with Tanner and Keaton.

Em loves drinking from Grandma's water bottle!

Grandma is not a fan of heights so she and Em didn't make the trip up!

Em was in heaven-every time she turned around somebody was ready and willing to spoil!  Grandma found this sucker at the candy shop in town!
