Dad's side of the family has an annual reunion in Idaho at SISCRA campground. It usually falls on a weekend near my birthday. This year it started on my 30th birthday! So I got birthday cake and balloons and lots of family to help me celebrate.

On Friday morning, Jed, Kurt, James and I went in search of snow and some skiing in July! We drove up West Mountain to a pretty good size snowfield. A few turns and a short hike. Very very fun.

One of my favorite parts of the Simpson Reunion is the annual James C Simpson Memorial Cribbage Tournament. James beat me soundly when we played. This year's championship game was between Mom, Tucker & Dale. Congratulations Dale!

We spent time on the lake, ate really good food, helped clean up a section of Highway 55, tie-dyed tshirts and visited with family.
