Sherman Family Retreat

We had a reunion with Jason's family a few weeks ago up in Heber/Pinetop area. Nicole and Jeremy were in charge this year (mostly Nicole :) ). They did a great job planning everything. We all had a great time visiting, fishing, playing games, eating, etc.!!! It was so nice to get out of the heat for a few days!!!

The whole gang, except for Garretts family & Lanae. We missed you!


Branson's girlfriend Caitlyn and Jason's mom. Jason's mom made grape jelly with us. We even used the grapes from her grapevines. It turned out so good! We have really been enjoying it!!!


Audrey and crazy Uncle Branson!

11 of the 13 grand kids! (now 14 as of today) I love taking pictures of a bunch of little kids together. Someone always ends up having to be forced in the picture and ends up crying!! It makes for great memories!

Jason went fishing with his brothers one morning while were there. They decided it would be fun to rent a boat on the lake and fish. They were on the boat sitting for four hours without any sunscreen. (NOT SMART!!!) The all got burned pretty bad!! Jasons burn was a little worse than bad. It was horrible and very, very painful. He blistered so bad!! I never seen anything quite like it. He could hardly walk for a few days and wearing pants was absolutely out of the question. I don't think he will every forget to put sunscreen on again.

His legs look really bad...poor guy. It was really fun, I always love seeing the kids play together. And I enjoy the time us women get together too! Good luck planning next years!
