Bushman Family Reunion

Our few days together were fun-filled and chaotic! 12 grandkids under one roof is enjoyable mayhem. The older cousins kept the younger ones pretty well entertained! Here are some of the highlights:
We played American Idol, and even Grandma Gene joined in! (I've got video I'll be sharing later!)
Elizabeth is holding the most ANNOYING toy in the entire house. It is a dancing Tinkerbell that plays the music on one volume setting: EXTREMELY LOUD! It was always on!
Here are the four brothers playing Wii.
Here is sweet Eli pre-cast. One morning he decided to jump from a 13 foot ledge off their roof (house is underground-like a walk out basement) onto their driveway. Lucky boy only fractured his heel bone. We all know it is a miracle!
Hannah playing with another music box.
Cousins playing on the computer. Aunt Amy and Hannah tired after a LONG drive from Wisconsin.
Tanner and Elizabeth eating the Grandma Bushman staple, FRUIT SNACKS!

The cousins had so much fun playing together. They really kept themselves entertained and well-occupied. And the adults had a blast playing the Wii, beating me at card games, going shopping, etc. We also made a trip to the Temple, to do sealings for our ancestors. With Grandpa Art as a sealor, it was very special to have the siblings all together in the temple. That was my favorite part of the whole reunion, no matter how hard it was to get there! (broken heel, missing babysitter, lost wallet, etc!)
